Discount Retail Chain Giant Tiger (family owned) will support its design and product development groups with better collaboration. The family discount store has over 260 locations across Canada and employs over 10,000 people. Giant Tiger, which is based in Ottawa, Canada, required a solution to drive product development from concept to adopted product, improve data integrity, centralize digital assets and support the generation of comprehensive product tech packs.
The retailer has selected CGS’ BlueCherry Next Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) to help support the design and product development groups in bringing collaboration among all stakeholders, suppliers and vendors. BlueCherry Next PLM is an enhanced part of the end-to-end BlueCherry enterprise suite for apparel and consumer lifestyle brands and retailers.
The retailer chose the BlueCherry Next PLM solution for its features including the seamless, designer-friendly integration with Adobe Illustrator and its intuitive, flexible and configurable user interface. The implementation of BlueCherry PLM helps support the retailer's current and future business requirements, helping to increase efficiency, collaboration and visibility across the supply chain.
