Diane von Furstenberg Selects Computer Generated Solutions' Product Lifecycle Management System
Computer Generated Solutions (CGS) announced that premier fashion-leader Diane von Furstenberg (DVF) has selected CGS’s BlueCherry Infinity PLM solution as its platform for global apparel development and sourcing. The new system will replace the company’s existing aging PLM system. Once implemented, DVF expects the BlueCherry solution to improve their overall business processes, enhance productivity by reducing manual effort, gain visibility, and accelerate speed to market.
DVF needed a solution that would centralize all information to provide easy access and collaboration for their design, product development, and merchandising teams.
“After careful evaluation of other PLM solutions, including the latest offering from the current PLM vendor, we felt that BlueCherry offered the best-in-breed functionality we needed in order to centralize our product development and link all departments in the development process,” said Jeannie Lau, Executive Vice President, Production and Product Development for Diane von Furstenberg. “Considering we already use BlueCherry ERP, their PLM solution is totally seamless and they are interchangeable. This creates a centralized hub of information that will promote synergy across all of our divisions.”
The BlueCherry PLM implementation will allow Diane von Furstenberg’s teams to view vital information at a much earlier stage in the process, allowing for multiple strategic business improvements.
