Case Study: GE Healthcare achieves unified global trade compliance and 20% broker cost savings with e2open

GE Healthcare Remedies Complex Trade Compliance Operations

GE Healthcare, a division of General Electric, operates a complex global supply chain with more than 145 shipping locations and thousands of products—many subject to dual‑use export controls. Fragmented operations across subsidiaries, suppliers, carriers and multiple ERP systems made accurate product classification, restricted‑party screening and generation of export/import documentation difficult, creating regulatory risk, delays and high operating costs.

GE Healthcare selected e2open and deployed Export Management, Import Management and Global Knowledge to create a single, automated compliance platform that integrates disparate ERPs, provides up‑to‑date regulatory content, enables pre‑entry broker instructions and validates shipment attributes before export. The solution centralized compliance data, improved visibility and on‑time delivery, delivered a full audit trail and reduced broker costs by 20% while lowering compliance risk, minimizing fines and accelerating global shipping.
