Cleo, BeyondTrucks Partner to Blend Rich Capabilities of Ecosystem Integration and Modern TMS Platforms

Logistics firms with Liquid Bulk, Dry Bulk, Flatbed and Refrigerated fleets stand to gain seamless API and EDI integrations

Cleo, the pioneer and global leader of the Ecosystem Integration software category and provider of the Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC) platform, along with BeyondTrucks, a multi-tenant SaaS Transportation Management System (TMS) solution for the logistics industry, announced a technology partnership to offer joint carrier customers cost efficient, reliable, and future-proof EDI connectivity to the BeyondTrucks TMS.

BeyondTrucks believes that EDI capabilities are a critical component of carriers’ technology stack. By working with Cleo, BeyondTrucks customers find in Cleo the expertise and network advantages of a tried and proven provider this critical part of their business deserves. Large fleets have increasingly moved away from “all-in-one” solutions and unbundled critical functions to award them to the respective best-of-breed providers. This partnership allows BeyondTrucks to focus on developing its SaaS TMS platform to address the unique modernization needs of medium and large fleets, while entrusting Cleo to handle mutual customers’ often complex EDI integrations.

“Cleo’s specialization in EDI connections and their reputation as a supply chain execution innovator makes it a no-brainer for us to join forces with an EDI expert like Cleo,” said Matt D’Souza, Director of Sales and Marketing with BeyondTrucks. “Plus, Cleo’s leadership in Ecosystem Integration is filling a void in the market. Previously trucking companies had to rely on specialized consultants, but now Cleo has made B2B integration far more cost efficient.”

Likewise, Bob Hoch, Cleo’s Director of Channel Sales and business lead on the new partnership, said, “Cleo’s new partnership with BeyondTrucks elevates Cleo’s commitment to the logistics and transportation industry, and will help our customers gain market share in this competitive market. By continuously focusing on innovation and bringing an API-first mindset to integrating ecosystems, we will serve our large customer base and the extensive network of shippers and carriers with our powerful solutions and deep expertise.”

BeyondTrucks offers targeted solutions for Liquid Bulk, Dry Bulk, Flatbed and Refrigerated Fleets. The company’s TMS platform’s specific capabilities include:

• Intuitive Automation: Eliminates the inefficiencies of legacy TMS systems by automating processes, reducing manual data entry, and minimizing errors.

• Advanced Analytics: Enterprise-grade analytics for enhanced reporting and data visualization.

• User-Centric Design: Cloud-based platform simplifies operations management through an intuitive user interface, minimizing need for manual intervention.
