Cleo, Open ECX form partnership to automate supply chain processes

Cleo, a provider of AI-driven supply chain orchestration solutions, has partnered with Manchester-based Open ECX to offer an integrated system aimed at fully automating Procure-to-Pay and Order-to-Cash processes.

The joint offering combines Cleo’s Integration Cloud with Open ECX’s automation engine to connect enterprise resource planning systems with a customer’s trading partners, regardless of data format or architecture. The solution supports EDI, API, MFT and hybrid integration patterns, along with capabilities such as PDF-to-XML conversion, image-based data extraction and real-time validation.

“Cleo never stops innovating, and this partnership with Open ECX is a powerful extension of our mission to deliver multi-directional, AI-powered supply chain orchestration for our customers by digitalizing and automating workflows,” said Mahesh Rajasekharan, Cleo CEO.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Cleo and bring our automation capabilities to a broader global audience,” said Matthew Jones, founder of Open ECX. “This collaboration allows us to jointly deliver a best-in-class solution that meets 100 per cent of our clients’ document processing needs—no matter the format or system.”

The companies say the partnership offers universal document ingestion, real-time integration, end-to-end visibility and faster deployment through pre-built connectors and templates.
