Field-proven AI and an integrated multi-enterprise commerce network come together for advanced planning and execution on one platform
DALLAS – Jan. 7, 2025 – E2open Parent Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ETWO), the connected supply chain SaaS platform with the largest multi-enterprise network, announces that e2open has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning Overall 2024 Vendor Assessment, the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning for Process Industries 2024 Vendor Assessment and the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Supply Chain Planning for Distribution Industries 2024 Vendor Assessment*.
The new IDC MarketScape research evaluates vendors in the supply chain planning space and provides a comprehensive report with insights for decision-makers evaluating the tools and technologies to transform their supply chains.
Eric Thompson, research director, Global Supply Chain Planning for IDC, noted, “E2open’s network-based platform supports large, global organizations in digital transformations. A full breadth of supply chain planning applications in a single platform, a multi-enterprise supply chain commerce network integrated to support execution, and use of deterministic and probabilistic methods all support expert supply chain planning.”
E2open is named a Leader and recognized for strengths including:
- Probabilistic and deterministic forecasting
- Integrated multi-enterprise commerce network
- A broad-based set of tools across supply chain and focused planning solutions
- Field-proven AI/ML algorithms ready for deployment
The IDC MarketScape research states, “The supply chain, whether you are a manufacturer, retailer, or wholesaler, is a critical function for companies to realize their business aspirations. Issues faced by supply chains over the past five years of recurring global/regional disruption have reinforced that if the supply chain doesn’t work, the business doesn’t work. Indeed, modern supply chain capabilities can enable more efficient and effective business approaches to better handle challenges and disruptions and support new business models that translate directly to business performance that is tangible and measurable.”
Today’s supply chains are an intricate matrix of outsourced manufacturing and supply, channel and distribution partners, and third-party logistics providers. The traditional, siloed approach to planning exposes the brand owner to great operational risk and inhibits resiliency. Planning is more than forecasting demand and balancing supply; it is core and central to mitigating and proactively managing risk. E2open’s supply chain planning approach is forward-looking at what is likely to happen based on current realities and not solely reliant on historical patterns.
“E2open’s innovative approach to connected planning provides business value by bringing together every facet of the supply chain. It embraces connections not just within the enterprise, but also with a diverse range of upstream, downstream, and logistics partners to create a seamless end-to-end process,” said Pawan Joshi, chief strategy officer at e2open. “By leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, e2open thoughtfully considers crucial factors like shifting channel demand, transportation availability, supplier capacity, and even global weather disruptions. This thorough evaluation empowers us to craft smarter plans that accurately reflect the dynamic landscape of the extended supply chain—then collaborate with ecosystem partners to refine and execute the plan. The result is seamless end-to-end orchestration from plan to fulfillment, which is agile, responsive, and resilient to today’s challenges and disruptions.”
