Circa Corporation Transforms Business System with Fully Integrated BlueCherry® Suite
Fashion belt and accessories designer and manufacturer Circa Corporation will replace its legacy software systems with the latest CGS BlueCherry Infinity business software solution. The San Francisco based company expects the fully integrated software suite to enable it to achieve greater operational efficiencies and enhance collaboration across product development, manufacturing, sourcing, financial and customer service operations.
New York, NY (Vocus/PRWEB ) November 19, 2009 -- Computer Generated Solutions Inc. (CGS) announces that fashion belt and accessories company Circa Corporation (http://www.circacorp.com) has agreed to replace its legacy business systems with the latest BlueCherry Infinity enterprise software suite. The new software will enable the San Francisco-based company to gain the control and efficiencies of a fully integrated business solution while leveraging the latest fashion-specific advancements in financial management, product development, sourcing and manufacturing. Circa anticipates that BlueCherry will increase its ability to control costs, communicate with vendors, speed new products to market, reduce chargebacks and increase customer satisfaction.
“In deciding to move away from our aging AS/400 business system, we wanted an integrated Windows-based solution that had the specific capabilities we need to improve the operational performance of our business,” noted Circa IT manager Hoang Nguyen. “After a thorough evaluation of both large and small system providers, we concluded that CGS and BlueCherry offered the best fit in terms of industry expertise, technology platform and overall integration.”
When implementation is completed in early 2010, the new system will provide product lifecycle management (PLM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), financial management (through Microsoft Dynamics) and complete integration with Circa’s deployment of the CGS Leadtec shop floor control system. Also factoring into the selection, BlueCherry Infinity employs the latest Microsoft database technology (Microsoft SQL Server 2008) and development framework (Microsoft .NET) to deliver a comfortable and productive Office-like user experience.
In addition to overall process and business planning improvements, Circa will leverage BlueCherry Infinity to enhance collaboration and management of bills of materials, bills of labor, costing, royalties, bulk orders and other critical brand and private label business activities.
“We are delighted to be selected by Circa for this important step forward in their business,” noted Paul Magel, senior vice president, CGS application solutions. “We look forward to working with them to modernize and better integrate their business systems, driving improved efficiencies and business processes.”
