WiseTech Global Acquires E2open in $2.1 Billion Landmark Logistics Deal
Sydney, Australia: Logistics software giant WiseTech Global is buying E2open for $2.1 billion, in its biggest-ever acquisition. The move adds E2open’s supply chain planning and compliance tools to WiseTech’s platform, aiming for end-to-end coverage. Investors cheered, with WiseTech stock rising 5%. Observers see continued consolidation in logistics tech as companies chase global reach.
What this means for you:
In the next 2–4 weeks, evaluate new automation or SaaS solutions if you run a small import/export business—improved connectivity might reduce overhead.
Within 1–2 months, watch for service bundles or discounted rates from the expanded WiseTech-E2open portfolio.
In 3–6 months, keep an eye on potential job openings or partnerships if you’re in supply chain, as large integrations often spawn new roles.
Evaluate shares or competition: smaller logistics software providers may be takeover targets next.

Key Entities

  • WiseTech Global: Australian logistics software leader.
  • E2open: U.S.-based supply chain software firm.
  • Richard White: WiseTech co-founder/former CEO.
