FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--E2open, a leading provider of cloud-based supply chain management solutions, today announced that the company has been selected by Averitt Express, one of the nation's leading freight transportation and supply chain management providers, to streamline the process for implementing Oracle® Transportation Management (OTM), enabling Averitt’s customers to be efficiently onboarded and supported at a predictable cost. E2open Logistics Network (ELN) enables Averitt and its customers to easily manage electronic integration between shippers, transportation carriers and logistics service providers.
Given the global nature of today’s transportation and logistics systems—and the myriad of technologies and formats—traditional approaches to implementing and maintaining integrations tend to be expensive and time consuming. By comparison, electronic connectivity delivers the advantages of timely and accurate information, lower transaction costs, and unlimited scalability.
“Critical to our success is the ability to onboard and manage both our customers and our carriers in an efficient way,” said Nick Fields, Director, Analysis & Administration at Averitt Express. “With E2open Logistics Network, we are able to onboard our carriers quickly and with minimal risk; we also benefit from the predictive costs of E2open’s SaaS solution.”
As a business process network specifically designed for global transportation and logistics processes, ELN offers several unique capabilities, a network of existing (reusable) connections to logistics-related trading partners, support for nearly all trading partner integration methods, and advanced self-service Integration-as-a-Service (IaaS) tools.
“To streamline logistics processes, it is important that organizations are able to efficiently manage electronic processes between shippers, transportation carriers and logistic service providers,” said Derek Gittoes, Vice President, Logistics Product Strategy for Oracle. “By working with Averitt Express to reduce their implementation timeframes and costs, E2open will help them quickly realize the benefits of the comprehensive transportation management capabilities delivered in the Oracle Transportation Management platform.”
“We are excited to be working with some of the world’s leading global businesses, including Averitt Express. Global companies require solutions that deliver on specific business imperatives, and in order to do that information must be accurate, the price point must be right, and the solution must be impressive," said Mark Woodward, President and CEO of E2open.
ELN is a fast and cost-effective integration solution that does not require additional customer investments. Trading partners have the option of using preexisting integration technologies or ELN-provided technologies at no extra cost. Additionally, onboarding efforts are significantly reduced with the reuse of ELN’s existing connections, standard maps, and self-service IaaS tools. Trading partners can be integrated in as little as one to three weeks.
E2Open is a Gold level member of Oracle PartnerNetwork.
