Grimco partners with Cleo

Cleo, a provider of supply chain orchestration solutions, announced a partnership with Grimco, a provider of signage products and services. This collaboration, now 1.5 years in the making, has supported Grimco’s growth as it celebrates its 150-year anniversary in 2025. Through Cleo’s supply chain orchestration solutions, Grimco says it has streamlined operations, improved forecasting, and enhanced customer and vendor relationships.

“Partnering with Cleo and utilizing Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC) has been a game-changer for Grimco,” said Mark Fowler, Grimco IT infrastructure manager. “Cleo’s solutions have allowed us to reduce manual entry, streamline EDI processes, and improve the ease of exchanging documents with our customers and vendors. This collaboration has had a tremendous impact on our efficiency and is a key enabler for our continued growth.”

Before adopting Cleo’s solutions, Grimco faced challenges with its previous EDI solution, which was difficult to support and lacked the flexibility needed for business growth.

“Our decision to move to Cleo was driven by the need for a secure, cloud-based solution that would allow us to better integrate our systems and streamline data movement,” Fowler said. “With Cleo, we’ve achieved easier integration, faster partner onboarding, and a more secure data exchange environment.”

According to Grimco, by leveraging Cleo’s managed services and professional services, it can focus on its core business while ensuring their integration efforts continue to evolve.

“We’ve learned a lot from Cleo,” Fowler said. “Their expertise has been invaluable, especially when onboarding new trading partners. We don’t plan to become experts in EDI ourselves – that’s where Cleo’s professional services team comes in to ensure smooth integration while we focus on what matters most: our customers.”

“On behalf of Team Cleo I want to congratulate the entire Grimco organization on the amazing milestone of their 150^th anniversary,” Cleo president and CEO Mahesh Rajasekharan said.  “Very few companies attain such amazing success, and as your supply chain orchestration partner, we are truly honored to have contributed to Grimco’s growth and success over the years. Today, and as Cleo Integration Cloud continues to evolve with AI and automation, and so much more, we’ll be right there with you creating value for you and your customers for many years to come.”
