e2open has updated its cloud-based supply chain solution platform to help companies reduce operational risks by offering early detection of potential supply chain disruptions.
The e2open 23.1 technology release includes technologies to boost visibility into potential disruptions caused by
- Extreme weather conditions which can delay or disrupt global shipments
- Serialized tracking of inventory age (and shelf-life) to minimize waste and obsolescence
- Compliance with the latest sanctions to avoid “at risk” shipments and protect companies from trading “controlled goods” with banned countries
"Increased economic uncertainties compounded by geo-political risks, climate events, and the lingering effects of the pandemic have made businesses more vulnerable to disruptions," said Pawan Joshi, e2open’s executive vice president of product management and strategy. The e2open 23.1 technology release is designed “to provide more ways to gain early visibility and take proactive actions to minimize financial liability or even avoid impacts altogether.”
This includes visibility to potential disruptions caused by extreme weather conditions that might impact global orders and shipments, serialized tracking of inventory to minimize waste and obsolescence in the channel, and compliance with the latest sanctions to protect companies from trading controlled goods such as advanced semiconductors with sanctioned countries or transacting with entities connected to human rights violations, Joshi added.
Among noteworthy technology enhancements in e2open's 23.1 are:
Intelligent automation features to support a comprehensive milestone framework and rules engine, which can proactively triggers corrective actions on in-transit at-risk shipments to remediate potential delivery delays.
Easier integration with enhanced and new channel data management APIs.
Faster configuration using a new channel data management rule framework.
Access to rich, real-time, multi-enterprise data to let users adopt outside-in planning and improve.
An updated “supply risk dashboard” that can display current and forecasted world weather data.
With easy access to integration-ready reports, shippers can now capture the delivered volume of goods reported by carriers, require carriers reports and integrate volume data into their ERP system.
Centralized carrier management tools to enable rapid connectivity with global and local carriers for parcel shippers.
