E2open, a provider of end-to-end supply chain management software, has revealed that it is working with Tesco to replace its legacy transport management systems. The agreement will see the supermarket utilize the E2open platform for “increased visibility, transport execution, invoice processes, and supply collaboration”.
E2open highlighted that its network and applications manage all tiers of production, inventory, logistics, global trade and channel activity from a single platform in the cloud. It is expected that Tesco will leverage this networked-platform to “align, collaborate with and orchestrate” its suppliers and logistics partners that serve its nearly 4,000 stores around the world.
“With the complexity of today’s supply chain there is simply no room for error,” said Michael Farlekas, President and Chief Executive at E2open.
“From procurement to logistics to payment, our expansive, integrated platform will provide Tesco with the highest level of visibility into their global supply chain, reducing costs and improving efficiency while providing greater oversight to help avoid consumer shortages.”
