Founded in 2010 by Tom Kallish, Tommie Copper compression wear uses multi-directional support and proprietary fabric to provide supportive relief to users while being comfortable enough to be worn throughout the day. The products are designed to be worn by anyone seeking support and relief from daily aches and pains. Due to the rapid growth of the company they needed to replace their existing manual systems and chose CGS as their one stop, end-to-end solution provider.

“When we began the search for a vendor it was important that we found one that could be all-inclusive in their offerings by providing not only software solutions and services, but cloud hosting as well,” said Malcolm Robinson, CEO of Tommie Copper. “CGS’s ability to be that end-to-end solution provider, combined with their immense industry experience and comprehensive solutions made them a perfect fit. CGS also took the time to express how genuinely interested they were in developing a long-term partnership with us well into the future as we continue to expand and develop.”

With the implementation of BlueCherry, Tommie Copper will leverage a single, integrated system that will enable them to achieve best industry practices while supporting their continued expansion.
