BlueCherry API
BlueCherry by CGS is a cloud, fashion-specific supply chain platform spanning ERP, PLM, shop floor control, EDI, warehouse management, B2B eCommerce, and merchandise planning for apparel, footwear, and consumer lifestyle brands. An unofficial API lets you programmatically pull styles, bills of materials, purchase orders, inventory, and shipments—and push updates like new orders, style records, and production status back into BlueCherry.
What is BlueCherry?
BlueCherry by CGS (Computer Generated Solutions) is a cloud, fashion-specific supply chain management platform purpose-built for apparel, footwear, and consumer lifestyle brands, retailers, and manufacturers. Companies use BlueCherry to manage product development and lifecycle, plan and forecast demand, run shop floor and production, exchange EDI documents with trading partners, operate warehouses, sell wholesale through B2B eCommerce, and run finance and order-to-cash—on a unified platform powered by Microsoft Azure Cloud.
Core product areas include:
- ERP (inventory, finance, purchasing, receiving, and order-to-cash management)
- PLM (design collaboration, tech packs, bills of materials, sample tracking, costing, and compliance)
- Shop Floor Control / Manufacturing Execution (production and statistical quality control)
- Merchandise and AI Planning (demand forecasting and inventory optimization)
- Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) for trading-partner document exchange
- Warehouse Management and B2B Wholesale eCommerce platform
Common data entities:
- Styles, Colorways, Size/Color matrices, SKUs, Product Variations
- Bills of Materials, Materials, Trims, Tech Packs, Samples
- Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Production Schedules, Cut Tickets
- Inventory, Shipments, Receipts, Warehouse Locations
- Suppliers, Factories, Customers, Compliance and Quality Audit Records
- EDI Documents, Invoices, Costing and Margin data
The BlueCherry Integration Challenge
Brands run mission-critical apparel workflows on BlueCherry every day, but turning a multi-module, ERP-plus-PLM suite into reliable API-driven automation is non-trivial:
- Multi-module spread: ERP, PLM, Shop Floor, Planning, EDI, and Warehouse each carry their own object models, IDs, and lifecycle states that must be stitched together
- Two-dimensional size/color matrices: Apparel-specific style-color-size grids don't map cleanly onto generic flat SKU schemas
- API access gates: The BlueCherry API & Integration Platform is available to customers and partners, but endpoint coverage and onboarding vary by deployment and contracted modules
- Hybrid and cloud deployments: Some brands run on Azure-hosted cloud while others run hybrid, so a single integration must tolerate different connectivity models
- EDI and trading-partner coupling: Order, ASN, and invoice flows are entangled with partner EDI maps that change per retailer
- Configuration drift: Per-brand workflows, custom fields, and module versions mean a generic connector breaks across tenants
How Supergood Creates BlueCherry APIs
Supergood reverse-engineers authenticated sessions and BlueCherry's RESTful API & Integration Platform to deliver a resilient, normalized API layer for your BlueCherry tenant—across ERP, PLM, and the connected supply chain modules.
- Handles username/password and MFA securely within a managed session
- Maintains session continuity with automated refresh and change detection
- Normalizes responses across Styles, BOMs, Orders, Inventory, and Shipments—including two-dimensional size/color matrices—so you integrate once against consistent objects
- Aligns with brand-specific module configuration, custom fields, and entitlements to ensure compliant access

API Endpoints
Authentication
/authenticateAuthenticate to a BlueCherry tenant using username/password, or MFA, and obtain a session token for downstream calls.
Product
/stylesList styles with colorways, size/color matrices, and SKUs, filtered by season, brand, status, and division.
Product
/create_styleCreate a new style with its bill of materials, tech pack references, and costing against the brand's configured product model.
Orders
/ordersRetrieve sales and purchase orders with line items, quantities, ship dates, and trading-partner details.
Orders
/create_orderSubmit a new sales or purchase order with style, size/color breakdown, pricing, and delivery requirements.
Inventory
/inventoryPull on-hand, in-transit, and available-to-sell inventory by style, SKU, and warehouse location.
Logistics
/shipmentsList shipments, ASNs, and receipts with status, carrier, and warehouse details across the supply chain.
Use Cases
Sync product and style data into PLM and downstream tools
- Pull styles, colorways, BOMs, and tech packs from BlueCherry PLM into design and merchandising systems - Push new styles and material specs back into BlueCherry without manual re-entry - Keep size/color matrices consistent across PLM, ERP, and eCommerce
Automate order-to-cash and EDI flows
- Stream sales and purchase orders from BlueCherry ERP into ERP, finance, and 3PL systems - Create and update orders programmatically instead of through manual screens - Reconcile invoices and EDI documents against trading-partner expectations
Unify inventory and shipment visibility
- Pull on-hand and in-transit inventory across warehouses into a single view - Stream shipment, ASN, and receipt events to downstream fulfillment and analytics tools - Surface low-stock and at-risk orders to planning and customer-service workflows
Feed demand planning and analytics
- Export sales orders, inventory, and style performance into BI and AI planning systems - Reconcile costing and margin data from PLM against actuals in ERP - Trigger replenishment and production workflows from forecast signals

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Supergood normalizes data across BlueCherry ERP, PLM, and the connected modules, so styles, BOMs, orders, inventory, and shipments are available through one consistent API surface rather than separate per-module integrations.
Supergood preserves BlueCherry's two-dimensional size/color matrix model rather than flattening it. Style-color-size breakdowns are exposed in a structured form so quantities, SKUs, and orders stay accurate across systems.
Yes. BlueCherry runs on Microsoft Azure Cloud and also supports hybrid deployments. Supergood adapts to either model, working against the same authenticated surfaces with connectivity tuned to your environment.
Where the RESTful API & Integration Platform is available, Supergood uses it directly. Where specific endpoints aren't exposed for your modules, we operate against authenticated session flows so coverage isn't limited to the published API.
Each tenant is profiled against its configured modules, custom fields, and workflows. Supergood preserves brand-specific fields and lifecycle states rather than forcing a generic schema, and monitors for configuration drift over time.
