Case Study: Smurfit Kappa achieves better visibility and lower freight costs with e2open TMS

Smurfit Kappa expands e2open TMS across 36 countries with faster speed-to-value

Smurfit Kappa, a global leader in paper-based packaging, faced logistical challenges in its North American operations including limited visibility, stressed fulfillment from short lead times, and inefficient decentralized processes. To address this, they partnered with e2open to expand the vendor's Transportation Management System (TMS) and Logistics as a Service capabilities.

The solution from e2open involved implementing the TMS across North America, supported by a dedicated LaaS team, and adding Customs Management and Restricted Party Screening. This provided Smurfit Kappa with enhanced visibility across fleets, standardized processes, and reduced freight costs through consolidation and optimized routing, achieving significant speed-to-value.
