The Miami-based lifestyle apparel provider Peace Love World has implemented the BlueCherry Enterprise Suite with enterprise resource planning (ERP), product lifecycle management (PLM) and supply-chain collaboration (CSC), according to Computer Generated Solutions (CGS), a global provider of technology solutions, including BlueCherry software.

With wholesale, retail and e-commerce increasing for Peace Love World, the apparel company required a more robust solution to address reporting needs, inventory accuracy and product development, according to a statement from Computer Generated Solutions.

The apparel company was looking to address multi-channel virtual inventory sharing and allocation between wholesale, retail and e-commerce, and after an extensive search, the company selected BlueCherry because of CGS’ history and proven track record of delivering quality solutions, as well as providing features that would help give the company a competitive advantage, Peace Love World stated.

BlueCherry is an integrated enterprise solution that manages the concept-to-consumer product lifecycle for soft-goods companies. The BlueCherry Enterprise Suite includes configurable features, exception-based alerts and notification, and integrated supply-chain collaboration.

Peace Love World is an American lifestyle brand launched in 2007. The company produces apparel for women, men and children, as well as accessories and gifts in the pet and home categories. It offers goods through a company e-retail website, as well as through six company stores in Florida and one store in Hong Kong. Peace Love World is also available in independent boutiques throughout the United States and abroad.

CGS is a global technology company headquartered in New York. It employs more than 4,500 employees in 20 offices in North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia.

“CGS clearly articulated their commitment to understanding our unique needs, something that other providers just were not able to do,” said Angie Martinez, vice president of operations at Peace Love World. “We did extensive research and talked to other BlueCherry clients who were extremely pleased. Couple that with their focus in the fashion industry and best practice business analytics expertise offered through implementation and support, and our decision became rather easy.”

“The fact that Peace Love World chose us over the competition speaks volumes of the quality of people at CGS, our sterling reputation within the industry, and our commitment to customer satisfaction,” said Brian O’Connor, vice president of sales at CGS. “It’s truly exciting to be in business with them, and we look forward to continuing to grow our partnership in the near future.” —Deidre Crawford
