New York, NY, November 3, 2010 — Computer Generated Solutions Inc. (CGS) announces that online fashion retailer NASTY GAL INC. (www.shopnastygal.com) will has begun implementation of the BlueCherry® enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution at its San Francisco Bay area headquarters. As the company’s first integrated business system, BlueCherry will be used initially to manage vendors, product styles/colors/sizes, purchase orders, and inventory. NASTY GAL expects the new system to dramatically improve inventory integrity, integrate and streamline business processes, and drive greater operational efficiencies.
According to Vice President Frank Buettner, “NASTY GAL’s ability to grow and scale is severely limited by its manual processes and lack of ERP software. As volume grew, we recognized the need for a software system that can integrate and standardize many of our core business processes. BlueCherry ERP provides that structure and gives us the reporting we need to manage the business at all levels.”
Once implementation is completed, BlueCherry will also help the company centralize and streamline access to company and product information while enabling greater management and team visibility into global business processes.
“We chose CGS because they have proven their solution at some of the top apparel retailers in America,” continued Buettner. “The system’s ease of use and the fact that it is quick to implement are also important factors in the decision. We are confident that as Nasty Gal continues to grow, BlueCherry has the depth of functionality that we will need to support new and more sophisticated business processes. BlueCherry ERP gives us the tools we need to scale the business efficiently.”
“We look forward to working with NASTY GAL as they accelerate their impressive growth,” noted Paul Magel, President of the CGS Application Solutions Group. “We applaud their strategy to leverage the best in available technology to support more efficient growth and position the company to seize expanding opportunities in online retailing.”
