Claude Lanouette, vice president, finance, Marie Claire said, “Marie Claire has a well-established private label and several locations throughout Canada, but we needed to efficiently and effectively manage the apparel lifecycle. With CGS we’re assured of expert industry knowledge and proficient resources. Implementing the BlueCherry Suite, will help us manage our design and sourcing process throughout our Canadian operations as well as our overseas suppliers.”
