Bluesight Streamlines B2B Integration with Platform Consolidation and Cleo’s Blended Services

Medication tracking software provider achieves increased efficiency by replacing multiple in-house integration solutions and EDI vendors with Cleo Integration Cloud and tapping into Cleo’s Managed Services expertise

Established in 2011, Bluesight provides simple medication tracking from purchase to patient administration, for customers including hospital pharmacists, diversion specialists, and pharmacy supply chain organizations. The software development company relies on robust integration software to process large EDI files and millions of transactions annually.

As Bluesight’s business evolved over the past dozen or so years, it became clear that its B2B supply chain integration strategy needed to be revisited. The original combination of multiple in-house integration solutions and reliance on various EDI vendors resulted in a costly and overly complex integration configuration, lengthy and problematic trading partner onboarding times, and poor visibility. This hindered Bluesight’s ability to scale its business.

To ensure Bluesight’s operations could keep up with business growth, the software development company replaced its in-house solutions and EDI vendors with one platform that could accommodate all its needs, now and well into the future -- Cleo Integration Cloud (CIC). Additionally, Bluesight turned to and continues to utilize Cleo’s blended services approach, which is a custom Managed Services option where integration responsibilities are split between Bluesight and Cleo’s team of experts.

By migrating to CIC and utilizing Cleo’s blended services approach, Bluesight discovered and created value through numerous straightforward integration improvements, including:

Platform consolidation—EDI and API combined into one, easy-to-use solution
Increased internal bandwidth—Cleo’s blended services approach frees Bluesight to concentrate on developing innovative products
Fast trading partner onboarding—leading to accelerated sales cycles, faster time-to-revenue, and more satisfied customers
Scalability—reliable processing for large files and a high volume of transactions
Trustworthy protocol and standards support—connect with any trading partner
In-depth visibility—drill down into transactions, integrations, processes, and errors, with all integration data available in a centralized dashboard

Bluesight’s Technical Program Manager, Ravi Boppana says, “By offloading EDI processing to Cleo, now we can seamlessly manage the high transaction volumes that our business requires. This allowed us to shift our efforts from the complexities of integration to supporting our company’s core business focus: developing exceptional Bluesight products that transform the world of medicine.”
