We spoke with Alex, the venue’s General Manager, to understand how Cleo changed the game.

Before switching to Cleo, Pierce was using legacy solutions. But the experience was frustrating: invoices failed to upload, W9s wouldn’t register, and there were constant delays.

“There were lots of small problems, and I never really knew what would go wrong next.”
“Cleo became our weekly rhythm. I approve payments and move on. No back and forth. No guesswork.”

payment problems, and consolidated
them into one easy universal platform
that is so easy, even a DJ can use it!

Alex was using legacy platforms, but payments often failed or went to the wrong accounts. Vendors would constantly follow up, and managing everything became a part-time job on its own.
