E2open Recognized in 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems

Easy-to-use and quick-to-deploy platform for all global transportation needs

AUSTIN, Texas – April 7, 2021 E2open (NYSE:ETWO), the network for the digital economy, has been recognized by Gartner as a Challenger in the 2021 Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems (TMS). Companies of all sizes and levels of complexity rely on e2open’s TMS to cost-effectively manage all aspects of transportation planning, execution and tracking of domestic and international shipments. This is done through a single network platform that is enabled by artificial intelligence (AI), easy to use and fast to implement.

“E2open is honored to be recognized by Gartner in this important Magic Quadrant. In today’s challenging environment, efficient logistics is more important than ever to maintain a steady flow of goods, meet customer commitments and keep production lines running,” said Michael Farlekas, president and chief executive officer at e2open. “Our investments in transportation management have helped us build a flexible, full-featured and easy-to-use TMS for shippers of any size and complexity, across all modes and all regions around the globe.”

E2open’s global network connects logistics providers across all modes of transportation in all regions. In addition to planning and executing freight, shippers gain real-time visibility into goods in motion and accurate, AI-enabled predictive ETAs down to the final destination. Two hallmarks of e2open’s TMS are the ability to quickly deploy and easily utilize the system, both especially important for companies hoping to quickly benefit from a new level of transportation management performance.

“We believe a holistic approach that meets all logistics needs on an open network platform is just the starting point,” said Pawan Joshi, executive vice president of product management and strategy at e2open. “Transportation is inherently linked to upstream and downstream activities and is greatly influenced by trade regulations as goods cross borders on the way to factories and the end-consumers around the globe. Advanced supply chains orchestrate these activities and make decisions in a unified manner across the end-to-end partner ecosystem. This combination is an important step towards digital transformation and increased agility and resiliency in the supply chain.”

In addition to this recognition in the transportation and logistics space, e2open is also named a Leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Multienterprise Supply Chain Business Networks (May 2020) and Magic Quadrant for Supply Chain Planning Solutions (Feb 2021).

The Big Reroute: Chinese Goods Stress Test Global Customs

Chinese exports are on the move, and global customs systems are feeling the strain. Countries like Germany, India, Brazil, and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states are absorbing redirected goods once destined for U.S. ports. The sharp surges in import volume are overwhelming customs authorities, igniting a spike in misclassifications, delays, and regulatory confusion. Amid rising risk, these inaccurate entries can leave companies exposed to penalties and unexpected enforcement. In some markets, Chinese imports have spiked by more than 40%. The shift, part of a broader redirection trend rather than isolated rerouting, is forcing companies to reexamine their trade compliance strategies in real time. Legacy systems and manual processes simply aren’t built for this level of scrutiny or scale. And the cost of getting it wrong is rising. Misclassifications now carry the risk of retroactive duties, fines, or even shipment seizures. For compliance ...
