Case Study: Oshkosh achieves streamlined trade compliance and reduced duty costs with e2open

Oshkosh Corporation Re-Tools Trade Compliance

Oshkosh Corporation, a 100‑year‑old US manufacturer of specialty heavy vehicles with ~14,000 employees, nearly 150 facilities in 22 countries and ~$7B in annual revenue, faced a complex global compliance challenge. Two business segments (Defense and Access) created high-risk export and customs environments—ITAR/dual‑use concerns, restricted‑party screening and complex free‑trade agreement (FTA) qualification—across ~900,000 parts and 75,000 bill‑of‑material lines, requiring supplier outreach and rigorous documentation to capture duty savings and avoid fines.

Oshkosh implemented e2open’s Global Trade Management suite (Export Management, Trade Agreements, Global Knowledge) with e2open professional services to centralize and automate export filings, license determination, restricted‑party screening, FTA qualification and supplier collaboration. The result: automated, auditable compliance processes that streamline classification and certificate generation, reduce duty costs and regulatory risk, and give the company greater agility to support new or changing trade agreements.
