CGS, a global provider of software and business applications, enterprise learning, and outsourcing services, announced that it has entered into a sales and distribution partnership for its BlueCherry® Enterprise Supply Chain Platform with Tradelink Technologies – a provider of supply chain solutions for over 400 global brands and retail companies, and more than 50 logistics companies across 70 countries. The partnership provides for the industry’s first end-to-end factory RFID solution, from raw materials to shop floor control and shipping – including serialization and traceability that enables the delivery of the European Product Passport.
“The secret for our success is the breadth and depth of our strategic partnerships, and we couldn’t be more pleased to expand our partnership with CGS to bring our local and cloud-based bar coding and scanning applications solutions to more organizations,” said Dan Entac, president of Tradelink Technologies. “With the BlueCherry Suite, factories can have confidence that the data they rely on to inform pivotal business decisions is unified and accurate. It allows the integration and rationalization of data into one single version of truth, making business processes more efficient while delivering reliable business insights.”
"Today's factories and brands face constant disruption. Connecting data, insights, and digital enablement across the supply chain is no longer a nice-to-have but a must-have,” said Paul Magel, president of CGS applications and technology outsourcing division. “By combining BlueCherry Shop Floor Control with Tradelink's RFID solutions, we've created a win-win for everyone. We are thrilled that this partnership will give factories complete visibility, inventory accuracy, and traceable data, providing customers with the best solution to deliver actionable insights into operations."
With the latest in local and cloud-based RFID and bar code scanning applications, the combined solution can be scaled to fit the largest global companies to the smallest suppliers. The result? Any factory can be outfitted with the highest level of automatization and digitization – allowing for more efficiency, visibility, and actionable insights, enabling them to meet the ever-changing demands of their retail and brand partners while providing the rich and reliable information required to facilitate key supply chain decisions.
