Additionally, Cleo honored two other vertically influential channel partners for their respective contributions to Cleo’s business growth.
The Persimmon Group, based in Dallas, Texas, was named Cleo’s “Logistics Systems Integrator of the Year.” As a global leader in ecosystem integration technology, Persimmon has a keen grasp on many of the logistics and transportation management system (TMS) on the market today. Their Cleo practice is focused on developing what it calls “customer-specific ecosystems,” a new approach to IT modernization that optimizes critical end-to-end business processes across a company’s supply chain. From manufacturing to end-consumer delivery, or from order fulfillment and billing to product catalogs and delivery, Persimmon helps companies move information, expedite trading partner onboarding, and increase the velocity of B2B transactions by providing greater control and organizational agility to meet evolving ecosystem integration requirements.
Through the partnership with Cleo, Persimmon enables its customers to maintain healthy relationships with all their ecosystem stakeholders. Persimmon’s supply chain expertise, combined with Cleo’s robust platform, allows for customized development of both API and EDI solutions that fit individual customer requirements and that can be delivered quickly, no matter what IT environment the customer is using.
And last, Cleo awarded C&A Technology LLC (CAT), a leading provider of Oracle JD Edwards (JDE) and SAP services and solutions that align business systems with business strategies enabled by technology, with honors as Cleo’s “Manufacturing/Distribution System Integrator of the Year” for 2022. CAT’s expertise in JDE and SAP EDI managed services and deep industry knowledge complements Cleo’s cloud integration platform to create new offerings for specific industries. By combining each company’s strengths, Cleo and CAT are helping clients extend their JDE and SAP EDI managed services solution through cloud-based integration.
