The BlueCherry suite provides end-to-end supply chain management capabilities for apparel, footwear and consumer lifestyle brands. In the last year, more than 20 leading brands, including Surf Line, Boohoo, Creative Home Fashions and Levy Group, chose BlueCherry for its proven solutions and industry expertise, adding more than 10,000 new users. Many of the existing customers also added complementary solutions within the BlueCherry portfolio.

In May, CGS acquired the Montreal-based fashion software company, Visual Next, bringing the best end-to-end workflow, from sourcing materials to sales, to the customers of both organisations. Also, in October, CGS announced expansion to the UK market with a focus on delivering comprehensive technology solutions to the company’s growing list of global brands.

In 2019, the company released over 100 major enhancements and updates to the BlueCherry Enterprise Suite, and since the acquisition of Visual Next, has completed 65 major enhancements. Nearly 80 per cent of the enhancements were a result of direct feedback from the user community.
