Lucchese Boot Company Selects CGS
BlueCherry Enterprise Suite
Legendary western boot manufacturer
Lucchese Boot Company has agreed to replace its legacy business
software system with the CGS BlueCherry Enterprise Suite. By
implementing the fully integrated ERP, PLM, and WMS solution,
Lucchese expects to save time and money by streamlining its entire
concept-to-customer business process and increasing operational
efficiencies.
New York, NY, August 25, 2009 —
Computer
Generated Solutions Inc. (CGS) announces that legendary
boot maker Lucchese Boot Company (
http://www.lucchese.com)
has selected CGS BlueCherry
® to replace legacy business
software at its El Paso, Texas (USA) headquarters. The BlueCherry
Enterprise Suite will be used by multiple teams to manage everything
from new product development to manufacturing and customer delivery.
Lucchese expects the new system will help streamline its entire
concept-to-customer business process and increase overall
operational efficiencies.
“Our old business system could not adapt to our changing needs,”
stated Tom Hough, Lucchese chief financial officer.
“Even though
it was heavily customized, it lacked industry-specific functionality
and was not conducive to integration with other systems. With
continued growth, we recognized the need for an industry-tailored
system that could help us streamline our various business processes
and provide us with more timely and accurate information for
decision-support. BlueCherry provides all of that in a single, fully
integrated package that has been proven capable of managing the
complexities of our vertical footwear operation. Beyond the robust
manufacturing capabilities of the system, we were impressed with the
domain expertise of the CGS team.”
In addition to the core financial, order and manufacturing
management capabilities of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
system, the BlueCherry implementation at Lucchese will also include
integrated product lifecycle management (PLM) and warehouse
management system (WMS) software modules. Lucchese will also
leverage BlueCherry’s built-in Report Builder to simplify system
reporting and support management by exception, Tool Box Builder to
make in-house system configuration changes without the need for
costly and time consuming programming, and Data Conversion tools to
speed implementation of the new system.
“We are pleased with the opportunity to work with the Lucchese
team,” noted Paul Magel, senior vice president, CGS Application
Solutions.
“Together we look forward to the significant
improvements and business-changing benefits that a best-of-breed,
fully integrated business system will bring to their operation.”
World-renowned for classic western boots and outstanding
workmanship, Lucchese Boot Company is one of the most luxurious and
exclusive boot companies in the world. The company celebrated its
125th anniversary in 2008. All Lucchese Classics, Lucchese 2000 and
