“I am thrilled to welcome the exceptional team and great customers of BluJay Solutions to E2open,” says Michael Farlekas, president and CEO at E2open. “Combining E2open’s end-to-end platform and large trading partner network with BluJay’s leading logistics execution software, we will provide more robust capabilities and value to our customers, unlocking a greater opportunity to accelerate our long-term growth. This transformative acquisition advances our strategy and is consistent with our approach to M&A over the last 5 years.”
“We are very excited about joining forces with E2open in this highly strategic combination,” says Andrew Kirkwood, CEO at BluJay Solutions. “Together, we will deliver a more powerful supply chain software platform built upon the world’s largest global trade network.”
From E2open:
- This partnership creates an independent SaaS-based supply chain platform spanning supply chain planning and execution, increases global reach and enhances E2open’s supply chain network and go-to-market strengths.
- E2open’s network and data will be expanded by BluJay’s trade network with over 50,000 network participants.
