E2open's supply chain platform has been instrumental in transforming the operations of the world's largest companies. In today's complex and interconnected supply chains, having an integrated platform is crucial for managing end-to-end processes and responding swiftly to challenges. The partnership between Emerge and e2open offers its mutual shippers the seamless integration of Emerge's Spot Marketplace with e2open Transportation Management (TMS). E2open users can now access Emerge for spot pricing, leveraging Dynamic Book it Now functionality and gaining access to thousands of carriers and Emerge’s Premier Carrier Program.
