E2open

E2open is a connected supply chain network used by large manufacturers, retailers, and logistics companies. Teams use it for supply and demand forecasting, purchase order tracking, inventory visibility, and transportation management. Its main value is the network itself: E2open says it links more than 400,000 trading partners and tracks over 12 billion transactions a year. Because so many partners already connect through E2open, a new customer can often reach suppliers and carriers without building each connection from scratch. E2open agreed to be bought by WiseTech Global, the company behind CargoWise, in a deal announced in 2025. Confirm current ownership and product plans directly with E2open before you sign a contract.

This fits a company that works with many outside suppliers, contract manufacturers, or carriers; the network effect matters most when your trading partners already use E2open for other customers. A practical starting point is one module, like supply collaboration or transportation management, tied to your top suppliers. E2open prices by subscription, and reports suggest enterprise deals range from about 200,000 dollars a year to over 900,000 dollars for large, complex portfolios. Treat those numbers only as a planning range and get a firm quote tied to your partner count and modules. The biggest open question right now is the pending WiseTech Global acquisition, so ask directly about contract terms, support, and roadmap changes before you commit to a multi-year deal.
