Xcel Brands, the media and consumers product firm, has selected BlueCherry enterprise suite of cloud based solutions, including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), and Business Intelligence (BI).
BlueCherry suite, by CGS, a global provider of business application, enterprise learning and outsourcing services, provides end-to-end capabilities for apparel, footwear and consumer lifestyle brands.
The implementation is to meet the transitional need of the company as it has recently expanded to wholesale of private label/ branded apparels. Also, to improve the workflow for its apparel and jewellery division through a proper order management system.
“We’re excited to further Xcel’s most popular apparel and accessory labels, but our changing business model calls for streamlining the process and technology used to meet customer demands. By choosing a proven solution that many apparel and consumer product brands have successfully implemented, we expect BlueCherry to help us meet our goals,” said, Robert D’Loren, chairman and CEO of Xcel Brands.
“With over 30 years of experience in the fashion apparel market, CGS understands the value of having the right solutions in place to efficiently and effectively run business operations. We are thrilled to welcome Xcel Brands to our thriving BlueCherry community of apparel and consumer goods customers and look forward to building a long-lasting relationship with the team.” – Paul Magel, President, Business Applications and Technology Outsourcing Division, CGS
