Digital supply chain transformation boosts operations for global leader in opening solutions
“E2open in collaboration with Assa Abloy will definitely bring us a competitive advantage because our competitors have not advanced as much as this yet.”
– Danny van der Ster, Vice President & Head of Logistics at Assa Abloy
Assa Abloy, the world’s leading provider of opening solutions, faced a unique challenge: managing a rapidly growing global supply chain fueled by frequent acquisitions. With monthly acquisitions and a fragmented, spreadsheet-based management system, the company grappled with long lead times, cash tied up in on-moving inventory, and the need to optimize operations across multiple countries. To address these challenges, Assa Abloy partnered with e2open to create a connected, digital supply chain that could keep pace with their growth and complexity.
E2open’s comprehensive solution suite transformed Assa Abloy’s supply chain into a strategic asset. By implementing multi-echelon inventory optimization, AI-powered demand sensing and forecasting, logistics visibility with predictive analytics, and supplier collaboration tools, Assa Abloy gained unprecedented control and insight into their operations. The digital transformation enabled them to optimize inventory across their network, improve cash flow, enhance customer service, and increase agility in responding to market demands.
