Case Study: Lipari Foods achieves rapid partner onboarding and streamlined multiprotocol data integration with Cleo Integration Cloud

Lipari Foods Uses Cleo to Deliver Products Quickly and Efficiently

Lipari Foods, a leading independent wholesale food distributor based in Warren, Mich., serves more than 5,000 retailers across 12 states and needed to strengthen partner relationships while scaling growth. The company faced an IT challenge with multiprotocol data integration—partners required EDI plus XML, spreadsheets and other file types—so Lipari Foods turned to Cleo and its Cleo Integration Cloud to modernize communications.

Cleo implemented Cleo Integration Cloud as a centralized integration hub and managed the process from installation through deployment, freeing Lipari Foods’ internal IT resources. The result: multiprotocol support (EDI, XML, spreadsheets), faster onboarding—partners can be onboarded in hours instead of days—fewer errors, and a scalable platform to grow trading partners from 150 toward the target of 1,000, improving overall partner communication and operational efficiency.
