Case Study: Calii achieves secure, automated B2B ACH payments and PCI Level 2 compliance with Very Good Security

Calii Unlocks the B2B Market to Offer Secure ACH Payment Automation

Calii, a Monterey-based marketplace that automates the food supply chain, needed to scale B2B payments while avoiding the cost, time, and risk of handling sensitive payment data in-house. Faced with manual, insecure ACH processes and an estimated $1M+ and 6–9 month lift to build a PCI Level 1 environment, Calii turned to Very Good Security to offload security and compliance so they could move quickly and stay focused on core product development.

Very Good Security implemented its Zero Data platform and infrastructure, building a Calii‑branded payment form, enabling real‑time ACH orchestration with payment aggregators and banks, and securing ACH batch transmissions. The solution delivered PCI Level 2 compliance, eliminated the need to hire data security engineers or maintain costly infrastructure, accelerated time‑to‑market, and unlocked Calii’s B2B payments channel—freeing up resources to reinvest in growth.
