Case Study: Sophos accelerates global trade compliance with e2open

Sophos automates global trade screening to under 1 minute with e2open

Sophos, a mid-size cybersecurity company, faced a global trade compliance challenge. Their manual process for reviewing every cross-border shipment and software download was slow, created risk, and was difficult to scale across 155 countries. To address this, Sophos implemented e2open's Global Trade Management software to automate export compliance screening.

The e2open solution automated workflows, filtering out low-risk transactions and focusing human review only on necessary cases. This reduced review times to under a minute per case and gave the team confidence in compliance. As a result, Sophos now processes about 1,000 orders weekly within eight hours, allowing the team to shift focus to higher-value work like auditing and supply chain collaboration.
