Case Study: Leading Global Fashion Retailer achieves faster speed-to-market and lower sourcing costs with e2open

Global Fashion Brand Cuts Costs and Accelerates Speed-to-Market with Strategic Sourcing Partnership

Leading Global Fashion Retailer faced rising tariffs, volatile costs, and complex multi-tier supplier coordination as its global fashion business expanded. Its largely manual sourcing process made it difficult to track materials, work in progress, and factory capacity, creating bottlenecks, higher freight and material costs, and slower speed-to-market. The retailer turned to e2open for a sourcing control tower and product lifecycle management support to improve visibility and control across its supply chain.

e2open implemented an integrated sourcing control tower with E2open Supply Collaboration, Product Lifecycle Management, and Manufacturing Collaboration to connect planning, suppliers, and production data in one view. The results included a 3–5% reduction in spend, 50–70% less manual planning effort, and a 5% improvement in on-time delivery. e2open also helped the retailer cut rush-freight costs, strengthen supplier collaboration, and improve transparency and ethical sourcing compliance across its global network.
