Start-to-finish view of sales order status and easy collaboration with partners
Delayed responses and poor communication between brand owners, partners and end-customers
In B2B sales, brand owners face complex omnichannel processes involving retailers, distributors, resellers, and even direct sales. The ordering and fulfillment systems partners use often differ from each other and from the brand owner’s systems. Customers often cannot easily access order status or receive alerts regarding delays. Frequent purchase order changes compound the visibility problem and make it difficult for brand owners and logistics partners to respond. As a result, customer service goes down while overall costs increase.
Collaborate efficiently from click to delivery
Current and accurate information on orders and inventory help you improve customer service and reduce supply chain costs. A single source of truth is your foundation for effective collaboration.
Automate communication start-to-finish
Automating the communication of orders, releases, order changes, contractual terms, vendor responses, shipments, receipts, invoices, and payment status brings efficiency.
Increase customer satisfaction and revenue
Improved visibility into orders, order changes, and inventory - including inventory in -transit - raise customer satisfaction levels and ultimately drives more sales.
Manage by Exception
Alerts for exceptions such as invoice price mismatches or date and quantity mismatches between requests and promises help you focus on only what needs your attention.
Connect easily for streamlined collaboration
E2open's data connectivity technology enables rapid customer onboarding with pre-built ERP interfaces and support for common data exchange standards.
Create a healthier ecosystem
Automating the sales order lifecycle and resolving issues collaboratively results in new shared value with customers and distributors and a healthier downstream ecosystem.
Improve productivity
By replacing the tedious and error-prone reconciliation of spreadsheets and emails with automation, you and your customers can accomplish more with less.
