Company experiences record year as demand for Cleo Integration Cloud platform accelerates

Cleo, the global leader of the Ecosystem Integration software category and provider of the Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC) platform, today reported its 2021 results with another record-setting performance driven by the market’s need for supply chain and organizational agility.

Cleo Integration Cloud enables businesses to rethink how B2B integration is done by providing a modern ecosystem integration platform that results in higher customer satisfaction, faster time-to-revenue, quicker eCommerce and marketplace integration, and improved SLA management and error resolution through end-to-end visibility and real-time analytics.

In 2021, the market recognized the value of ecosystem integration, which resulted in a 121% year-over-year gain in cloud customers.

In Cleo’s view, these results reflect the intensity with which companies in manufacturing, logistics, distribution, and other industries are rethinking their integration strategies in response to COVID, and how Cleo’s ecosystem integration platform and expertise provide precisely the integration capabilities companies need to obtain the agility required to drive revenue and protect profitability in turbulent times.

“Cleo’s 2021 business results underscore the tremendous value that ecosystem integration is bringing to our customers and demonstrates why Cleo stands tall and alone as the most innovative integration solution provider in the market,” said Mahesh Rajasekharan, President and CEO of Cleo. “By enabling critical B2B use cases through our unique blend of API and EDI integration on a single platform, we are helping 4,100+ companies solve their toughest integration challenges, strengthen their ecosystems through more trustworthy relationships, capture incremental revenue, and expand their profit margins.”
