BlueCherry Integration

Challenge

An increasingly complex supply chain has led many apparel manufacturers to explore new revenue channels, while attempting keeping costs as low as possible.

The apparel supply chain is a sourcing and logistical challenge. Cotton may be purchased from China and silk from India. Rough assembly could be in the Philippines with finishing performed in downtown Los Angeles. The cost of materials, labor and logistics must be accurately tracked with reporting available on demand.

BlueCherry helps apparel organizations to manage this complexity with ERP and accounting systems. However, when these organizations seek to migrate their platform to online brand-specific B2C sites and/or wholesale ordering, the results often fall short. With significant time and money already spent on BlueCherry, how can an apparel business leverage and utilize the data and business rules contained BlueCherry for online ecommerce?

Solution

Enter Upshot Commerce. Our BlueCherry Integration enables apparel organizations to seamlessly sync mission critical data from BlueCherry ERP to ecommerce sites built on the Upshot Commerce platform.

Data such as product prices, customer accounts, COGs, shipping costs, product attributes and inventory stock levels can be pulled from BlueCherry and flow through to B2B and B2C ecommerce sites. For apparel companies with multiple brands, the Upshot Commerce platform can use data from BlueCherry to power multiple, brand specific sites. Finally, because of the seamless integration, Upshot Commerce can send ecommerce sales data back to BlueCherry, so all reports can be viewed in a familiar, central location.
