E2open Honored by Customer for Producing Major Impact on Demand-Supply Network Performance

Posted on: Monday, 6 July 2009, 09:00 CDT

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 6 /PRNewswire/ -- E2open, the leading provider of on-demand multi-enterprise solutions that provide visibility and control across global demand-supply networks, today announced it was named one of SupplyChainBrain's (formerly Global Logistics & Supply Chain Strategies) 100 Great Supply Chain Partners in its seventh annual list that will be published in the July issue of the magazine.

SupplyChainBrain's 100 Great Supply Chain Partners program is the result of a six-month online poll in which supply chain professionals were asked to nominate vendors and service providers whose solutions have made a significant impact on their company's efficiency, customer service, and overall supply chain performance. For this year's list, SupplyChainBrain received more than 2,700 nominations from a wide-range of companies including those in third-party logistics, transportation, and consulting services.

Global leader in the delivery of end-to-end product lifecycle solutions, Celestica - which deals with approximately 5,000 suppliers globally - nominated E2open for the award. Celestica has implemented E2open's multi-enterprise, software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based platform to help synchronize supply and procurement processes across the end-to-end demand-supply network, and ultimately to "transform" its global value network. The platform, branded LiveShare(TM) by Celestica, provides real-time information on customer demand. It also provides visibility into inventory data, increasing collaboration with trading partners and ensuring that cost and time of implementation are accurate, and that operational risks are minimized. Specific benefits Celestica has realized from LiveShare include: a 20 percent improvement in buyer productivity and efficiency, a 50 percent improvement in reduced data latency between suppliers and Celestica, a 33 percent improvement in supplier response times, and realization of industry-leading inventory turns.

"E2open is honored to be recognized as part of this year's SupplyChainBrain 100 Great Supply Chain Partners program," said Mark Woodward, CEO and president, E2open. "This accolade is especially meaningful because it demonstrates the strong support of E2open's partners and customers and is a direct testament to the significant benefits these organizations have received through achieving greater visibility and increased collaboration among their business partners."
