Case Study: Trinidad Benham achieves EDI control and improved customer responsiveness with Cleo

Food service products distributor gains EDI control, improved customer responsiveness with Cleo

Trinidad Benham Corp., a Denver‑based food service packaging and distribution company, needed to bring EDI in‑house to regain control, reduce rising VAN costs, and speed partner onboarding for its complex supply chain. After evaluating options, their consulting partner recommended Cleo’s solutions — initially Cleo VLTrader and then an upgrade to the Cleo Integration Cloud, using Cleo Harmony as the AS2 platform and Cleo Clarify for data transformation and mapping.

Cleo implemented an integrated MFT and transformation stack (Cleo Integration Cloud with Harmony and Clarify), enabling Trinidad Benham to eliminate the VAN, regain control of EDI workflows, and onboard customers more quickly. The Cleo Clarify mappings cut data mapping time in half, saved many hours of reprogramming, improved responsiveness to customers, and supported processing of roughly 40,000 documents a year, delivering clear cost and service improvements for Trinidad Benham.
