New York, NY – November 12, 2013 — CGS, a leading global provider of technology solutions, announced today that Little Giraffe has chosen the BlueCherry Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Microsoft Dynamics SL to help manage future growth, optimize their global supply chain, and improve management reporting.
As a leading provider of luxurious, exclusive, and hassle-free children’s and adult accessories, Little Giraffe experienced a period of steady growth over the last four years. As a result, their existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system was no longer a fit for their changing needs and they looked to find a system that could grow with them into the future.
“We investigated the market extensively for potential solutions and vendors,” said Trish Moreno, President, CEO, and Creative Director for Little Giraffe. “In the end we decided CGS’s BlueCherry was a superior solution that provided the scalability we were looking for based on our forecast for future growth. Moreover, we foresee BlueCherry as a key foundation to the building blocks of our future success, enhancing our ability to quickly respond to our customer’s needs in a constantly evolving marketplace.”
BlueCherry ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) will provide Little Giraffe with better overall functionality of their operation as well as robust reporting and automation of previously manual processes. They will also benefit from improved production tracking, inventory control, PO fulfillment, customer care, and sales analysis. In addition, Microsoft Dynamics SL will provide Little Giraffe with improved financial management and reporting.
“We are happy to welcome Little Giraffe into the CGS and BlueCherry family,” said Paul Magel, President of the Application Solutions Group at CGS. “BlueCherry’s best-in-class functionality, backed by CGS’s breadth of experience, will enable Little Giraffe to accurately forecast and manage demand throughout their entire supply chain. The scalability BlueCherry provides will also allow for simple integration with other systems and modules they may choose to implement in the future.”
