In January 2022, CGS’s Application Solutions division began publishing a BlueCherry® blog the Thursday of each week. We started the year with a look forward to trends around fashion and apparel supply chain and technology we planned to cover.

For each blog, we also committed to sending an email to our customers, clients and communities so everyone could keep up to speed on topics relevant to their part of the business.
