Case Study: Fortune Transportation achieves cloud visibility, security, and scalability with Cleo Integration Cloud

Fortune Transportation embraces cloud tech with Cleo Integration Cloud

Fortune Transportation is a family-owned, mid-size refrigerated freight carrier founded in 1980 in Windom, Minnesota, operating roughly 150 trucks, 250 trailers and 10 vans across 18 states. Facing rapid growth, rising customer expectations, and a two-person IT staff running mainly on-premises systems, Fortune needed to modernize connectivity without abandoning existing investments. To meet that need they evaluated Cleo and selected Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC Express) as their first cloud integration step.

Cleo implemented a hybrid approach: moving trading-partner connectivity and data movement to Cleo Integration Cloud while keeping data transformation on-prem (preserving their Cleo LexiCom investment). The solution enabled faster partner onboarding, greater visibility and control, reduced maintenance (no extra servers or OS updates), and stronger cybersecurity—CIC Express offers 99.95% availability and SOC2/GDPR compliance—allowing Fortune to scale more easily and maintain ROI from prior systems.
