Case Study: Collection 18 achieves streamlined EDI and consolidated B2B file transfers with Cleo

Women’s apparel manufacturer consolidates B2B processes, streamlines EDI with Cleo

Collection 18, a New York–based women’s apparel manufacturer, needed a single managed file transfer (MFT) solution to handle a few hundred daily EDI documents, Microsoft Office files and PDFs exchanged with nearly 40 trading partners. The company had used Cleo for more than a decade (initially an AS2 connection agent) but faced escalating VAN costs and fragmented point solutions for specific EDI documents, so it sought to consolidate B2B communications and streamline EDI workflows with Cleo.

Cleo implemented the Cleo Integration Cloud™ enterprise-grade file transfer solution, consolidating FTP, SFTP, AS2 and EDI processes on one platform. Collection 18 reports easier configuration and the ability to integrate all EDI workflows in a single system, eliminating multiple point solutions and improving efficiency for tens of thousands of files a year across its trading partners — delivering streamlined B2B communications and reduced operational complexity with Cleo.
