Case Study: Volvo achieves rapid global TMS deployment, improved visibility and 5x cost savings with e2open Transportation Management

Volvo Sees Significant Cost Savings and Visibility With E2open

Volvo Cars, a respected global automaker headquartered in Göteborg and part of Geely Holding, needed greater visibility and efficiency across its finished-vehicle distribution network. The company sought a transportation management system to plan, optimize and track shipments from four factories to 2,300 dealerships, integrate with 26 existing IT systems, support 35,000 routes, 120 new EDI messages and 30 carriers — all on an aggressive timeline.

After a competitive RFP, Volvo selected e2open’s cloud-based TMS and went live in five months without disrupting operations. The solution delivered stronger visibility and agility, significantly improved performance, reduced service issues at dealerships to only a few per week, and produced cost savings five times greater than expected.
