Women’s Apparel Designer, Jude Connally, Selects BlueCherry Enterprise Suite to Improve Design to Delivery Process, Support Continued Growth

CGS announced today that Jude Connally has chosen BlueCherry ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) to support their wholesale and retail growth, improve information flow, and improve transaction efficiency.

The New Jersey-based women’s clothing designer needed a platform that could easily scale with them as they continued to grow and their needs became increasingly diverse. Their manual and non-integrated systems presented several challenges, and they began searching for a platform that could provide them with seamless integration from design to delivery.

“After evaluating several potential vendors, CGS made it clear they thoroughly understood our multifaceted needs and illustrated how BlueCherry could meet all of them with ease,” said Jude Connally Zimmerman, Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Jude Connally. “We took the time to speak with other BlueCherry clients and determined it was, by far, the superior solution. The value of being a part of the BlueCherry community, coupled with the system’s far-reaching capabilities, ease of use, and CGS’s team of experts, made this decision rather simple for our company.”

By implementing BlueCherry ERP and PLM, Jude Connally will enhance their operation in several areas including improved reporting and analytics, reduction in manual tasks, reduction in double entry, and improved service to internal and external customers.

“We are extremely satisfied that Jude Connally opted to go with BlueCherry over the myriad of systems available in the marketplace,” said Paul Magel, President of the Applications Solutions Group at CGS. “Because Jude Connally is continuing to develop, they needed a scalable, flexible platform that could be tailored to their specific needs as their business continues to grow. With BlueCherry, Jude Connally will now achieve more accurate reporting and analytics, improved decision-making, and seamless, organizational alignment across the board.”

In addition to BlueCherry, Jude Connally will also leverage CGS’s best-in-breed, fully managed cloud hosting services, decreasing their need for internal IT resources.
