“ AT CGS , WE TAKE A CUSTOMER-FIRST APPROACH TO ALL OF OUR DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION INITIATIVES ”
— Ajay Chidrawar , Vice President , Global Product Management & Customer Success
Are there any companies that you partner with that help drive operations ? How is this relationship mutually beneficial and important ? A good example is our partnership with Juki , the largest supplier of industrial sewing machines . BlueCherry Shop Floor Control is a real-time application that automates the collection and reporting of production activities with smart devices on the factory floor . Integrating with Juki , we offer “ smart solutions ” via sewing terminals , allowing manufacturers to track and collect data throughout the production process . This integration is allowing factory floor managers to be more proactive , addressing issues as they arise to improve overall efficiency and productivity .
Without a crystal ball , what do you anticipate the future of the supply chain to look like ? One major trend we are seeing throughout the industry is the increased use of 3D software . Historically , when designers would send through ideas , there was a lot of back and forth as to product design . 3D solutions allow for real-time collaboration , speeding up the design process and enabling products to enter the market more quickly .
Can you talk me through any plans for the future ? In May 2019 , our organisation acquired Visual Next , a provider of end-to-end software to apparel , footwear , uniform and fashion accessory companies . The integration of Visual Next ’ s solutions is our immediate focus , incorporating the latest technology to create a unified next generation offering that supports the rapidly evolving needs and accelerated growth of apparel , fashion and lifestyle brands .
