“We are honored to be named a Leader in supply chain planning (SCP) by Gartner,” said Michael Farlekas, president and chief executive officer of e2open. “Our strategy to bring together all aspects of planning and execution on a single platform is designed to help clients at any stage of their journey – to both meet immediate objectives and grow with them as business needs evolve. Building agility and resiliency into supply chains requires a new type of boundaryless planning that fundamentally differs from traditional approaches because it is driven by data beyond the enterprise, including multiple tiers of upstream suppliers, downstream channel partners and logistics providers. As the only vendor with a multi-enterprise network to connect all parties and access this data in a scalable and economically feasible way, we believe e2open is uniquely positioned to deliver the advanced planning capabilities required to enable digital transformation.”

“Brand owners have continued to experience the shift from a more traditional manufacturing role to being an orchestrator of complex global supply chains, leveraging outsourced production, logistics and distribution partners,” said Pawan Joshi, executive vice president of product management and strategy for e2open. “Planning is a critical part of this orchestration and one where e2open is recognized as a leader. What makes our planning more dynamic and powerful is access to data across the end-to-end supply chain, along with the ability to collaborate with all ecosystem partners to ensure execution, monitor performance for deviations to the plan and proactively take corrective actions. Our clients leverage e2open’s operating platform powered by a network, a full suite of supply chain management applications, proven AI and collaboration to better orchestrate their end-to-end supply chain. It is rewarding to us to see our unique network-based approach being recognized by Gartner.”

In addition to this recognition in the Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning Solutions, e2open is also named as a supply chain planning leader by IDC in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Overall Supply Chain Planning 2019-2020 Vendor Assessment and Nucleus Research in its Supply Chain Planning Technology Value Matrix 2020.

How to Improve On-Shelf Availability for CPG Brands

On-shelf or out-of-stock? For consumer package goods (CPG) brands, the answer depends on how well you read demand signals. Reliable on-shelf availability begins with collecting the right retail data: point-of-sale (POS), inventory levels, consumer shopping behaviors, and promotional activity –then transforming that raw information into actionable insights. The challenge: retail data frequency, formats, hierarchies and points of access vary. The sheer volume of data from multiple retailers, mismatched SKUs, and manual processes can cause delays, a lot of noise, and a risk of errors. That leaves forecasts built on guesswork, not the most current reality. The fallout? Stockouts, overstocks, missed sales, and a drop in on-shelf availability. What if you could bring that disparate, robust data together in a harmonized, strategic way for an apples-to-apples view across all sources? When you use clean, accurate demand data, you can dramatically improve forecasting and planning ...

Mastering the Complexity of Make-to-Order Supply Chains

Make-to-Order (MTO) businesses are some of the most complex, and most fascinating, supply chains to work with. Every customer order is a new project—often with customized specifications, tight timelines, and dependencies that span multiple suppliers and production facilities. Unlike Make-to-Stock (MTS) operations, where products are built in anticipation of demand, MTO businesses commit to customers before they design the solution, procure components, and begin production. The moment an order is booked, the clock starts ticking, and every part of the supply chain must respond in perfect coordination. It’s like walking a tightrope where any misstep ripples through to the end result. What makes this even harder is the fragmented nature of business functions and systems. Supplier procurement might happen in one tool, production planning in another, and fulfillment tracked elsewhere. The result is predictable: delays, misalignment, and a constant scramble to react instead of p...
