Case Study: Ace Hardware reduces freight spend with e2open's Transportation Management

Ace Hardware reduces $50 million in annual truckload freight spend with e2open

Ace Hardware, a major home improvement retailer, was facing challenges in controlling its inbound transportation, which involved approximately $50 million in annual truckload spend. The company sought to automate its manual, spreadsheet-based processes to increase efficiency and identify areas for improvement. To address this, Ace Hardware partnered with e2open to deploy its Transportation Management System (TMS).

e2open's solution provided Ace Hardware with improved freight routing, real-time visibility, and enhanced carrier negotiations. The implementation allowed the company to reduce safety stock levels and decrease production-to-receipt lead time. Ace Hardware also leveraged e2open's logistics procurement service and road freight rate index, resulting in a significant reduction of its overall freight spend.
