WiseTech Global Acquires e2open in $2.1B Deal to Digitally Transform Global Supply Chains
Strategic acquisition boosts WiseTech’s mission to become the “operating system for global trade,” expanding its reach from logistics to full-spectrum supply chain.
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA : Global logistics software leader WiseTech Global (ASX:WTC) has officially completed the acquisition of U.S.-based e2open (NYSE:ETWO), a top cloud-based trade and supply chain software provider, in a fully debt-funded deal valued at $2.1 billion.
This strategic move is a game-changer for WiseTech, whose CEO Zubin Appoo confirmed that the acquisition aligns with their bold vision: to become the operating system for global trade and logistics. The deal massively expands WiseTech’s customer base, capabilities, and reach, moving beyond logistics into trade planning, channel and supply optimization, and end-to-end digital fulfillment.
“This is more than an acquisition—it’s a leap forward for global logistics,” said Appoo. “Together, we’re building a connected environment where every part of the supply chain can operate seamlessly.”
The transaction was funded through a new syndicated debt facility and follows an eight-week integration planning process. WiseTech now aims to unite both companies’ technologies, teams, and strategies, leveraging experience from over 55 successful acquisitions.
What This Means for Global Trade
WiseTech’s flagship product, CargoWise, already serves over 16,500 logistics companies across 195 countries. With e2open now on board, WiseTech adds powerful tools that support buyers, shippers, exporters, manufacturers, and brand owners—opening up new verticals and customer touchpoints.
The acquisition enables:
- Straight-through digital processing to replace paper-heavy systems
- Integrated planning and execution across the entire supply chain
- A multi-tiered, multi-sided digital marketplace for global trade
“This partnership is about amplifying efficiency and connectivity,” Appoo explained. “It’s about creating smarter, faster, more resilient supply chains for everyone.”
Looking Ahead
e2open CEO Andrew Appel expressed confidence in the transition:
“We’ve laid a strong foundation for growth. I’m excited to see what our teams can accomplish together as part of WiseTech’s global platform.”
Full guidance for FY26, including the financial impact of the acquisition, will be presented at WiseTech’s FY25 Results Briefing on August 27, 2025.
