Case Study: Sligro Food Group achieves faster, more reliable order processing and cost savings with Cleo

Sligro Food Group - Customer Case Study

Sligro Food Group, a leading Dutch food wholesaler that processes hundreds of thousands of orders weekly, needed a seamless, high-volume way to communicate with customers and partners to reduce operational costs and avoid disruptions. The case highlights the use of EDI to automate order flows, with the EDI implementation delivered by ECS International (using IBM Cool Spools) and presented in this Cleo case study.

ECS International’s EDI platform translates and routes files automatically, handles very large volumes with minimal day-to-day management, and added faster, more reliable processing plus a management dashboard. As reported by Cleo, the solution cut manual work, connects hundreds of customers without issues, shortens order-to-delivery times by about 30%, and delivers roughly one-third cost savings versus paper-based methods, while proactive support minimizes costly disruptions.
