Case Study: Leading U.S. Automotive Manufacturer achieves centralized governance, risk and compliance and 75% faster screening with e2open

Auto Manufacturer Centralizes Restricted Party Screening and Compliance Operations

A leading U.S.-headquartered automotive manufacturer with nearly 200,000 employees across 120+ countries needed to centralize its governance, risk and compliance operations to address evolving trade regulations and heightened exposure to restricted parties and Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs). Its legacy screening processes were disparate, slow, and error-prone, creating inefficiencies and increased reputational and regulatory risk across global suppliers, partners, contractors and customers.

The company implemented e2open’s cloud-based Due Diligence Screening and Global Knowledge to automate and consolidate screening on a single platform, providing near real-time checks against 172 RPS lists (including third‑party content from Kharon and Acuris) for roughly 1,700 users. The solution now processes over 1.2 million screenings per month, cut compliance screening time by 75%, improved shipment processing times by 50%, and materially reduced brand and regulatory risk while delivering better visibility through KPIs and metrics.
