Case Study: Global Port Logistics Firm achieves scalable, secure high-volume data handling and optimized partner management with Cleo

Global port logistics firm chooses Cleo solutions to handle massive data volumes and optimize partner management

Global Port Logistics Firm, one of the world’s largest ports, faced fragmented, high‑volume data flows from 1,500 trading partners (with plans for triple‑digit growth in 12 months) and spikes up to 50,000 messages per hour. The firm needed secure, EDI‑compliant, centrally managed communications supporting multiple protocols and fast, reliable monitoring—so it selected Cleo’s managed file transfer solution to standardize and scale its data exchange.

Cleo implemented a high‑performance, scalable configuration (starting with 150 connections) with a user‑friendly web interface, multi‑protocol support (FTP, SMTPS, WebSphere MQ, AS2, HTTPS), closed‑loop audit trails, and robust reporting. The Cleo solution delivered centralized management, improved security and compliance, faster onboarding and monitoring of partners, and the capacity to handle massive throughput—becoming a benchmark for other port partners and allowing the port’s managers to focus on moving goods while Cleo handles data movement.
