E2open Connected Planning is the supply chain planning suite within e2open's multi-enterprise network platform. It brings together real-time data, AI/ML-powered demand and supply sensing, forecasting, scenario analysis and collaboration on a single platform, connecting demand, supply, inventory and replenishment across all planning horizons. It provides multi-enterprise visibility, agentic AI 'super planners' and a connected digital-twin-style model, plus demand planning, demand sensing, supply sensing, supply planning, Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP), and multi-echelon inventory optimization. Intended users are VPs/heads of supply chain planning, planners, analysts, and cross-functional teams in manufacturing, distribution and retail, plus downstream channels and upstream suppliers/contract manufacturers. Evidenced use cases from the official product page include a new planner resolving a climate-event supply disruption via an agentic digital assistant (root-cause identification, at-risk order analysis, alternative supplier comparison with total landed cost including tariffs/logistics, regulatory compliance screening, step-by-step PO update guidance), collaboration of planners across regions on a demand spike, shadow-planning via supply chain digital twin, and S&OP workflow automation across plants and distribution centers. Vendor-reported outcomes: 15-30% working capital reduction via inventory optimization, 20% lower expedition costs, up to 50% planner productivity increase, and 30-40% improvement in near-term forecast accuracy.
