Giant Tiger Stores Ltd. is rolling out a product lifecycle management (PLM) solution to support collaboration in design and product development.
The Ottawa, Canada-based discount retailer has selected the CGS BlueCherry Next PLM tool to bring together all product development stakeholders, including suppliers and vendors as well as design and product development groups. Leveraging the BlueCherry solution, Giant Tiger seeks 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 chose the BlueCherry Next PLM solution for features including seamless integration with Adobe Illustrator and what it found to be an intuitive, flexible and configurable user interface. GGS will also offer expertise and resources in retail and consumer goods, with the ultimate goal of supporting the retailer’s current and future business requirements and helping to increase efficiency, collaboration and visibility across the supply chain.
Giant Tiger, a leading privately held, Canadian-owned family discount store, has over 260 locations across Canada. The product assortment includes everyday essentials, family fashion items, and household needs. All of Giant Tiger’s franchised store locations are locally owned or operated, and the company also operates the gianttiger.com e-commerce site. Giant Tiger employs over 10,000 associates and operates its own distribution centres and trucking fleet.
