Boston, MA – October 3, 2024 — Bamboo Rose is excited to announce that The S Group, a leading global fashion and apparel manufacturer serving premium brands, will be transitioning from Backbone PLM to the Bamboo Rose Retail Management Platform. This move follows Bamboo Rose’s acquisition of Backbone PLM and marks a pivotal enhancement in The S Group’s operational efficiency and growth strategy.

While Backbone PLM significantly enhanced product development and tech pack creation for The S Group, the demand for greater scalability and advanced functionalities such as managing timelines, line plans, and in-depth costing capabilities prompted the exploration of Bamboo Rose’s comprehensive solutions.

With Bamboo Rose, The S Group is poised to boost operational efficiency, streamline timeline management, and meet every development deadline, ensuring timely product delivery. The advanced features of Bamboo Rose will support global growth and customer onboarding, without necessitating team expansion. Enhanced reporting capabilities will offer improved visibility and control over operations, facilitating more strategic decision-making.

"We have some of the world’s leading athletic brands knocking on our doors, and our collaboration with Bamboo Rose is laying the foundation for us to scale efficiently, onboard new customers, and accelerate the value we deliver. The continuous evolution of their platform, driven by both internal innovation and strategic acquisitions—like Foresight Retail's planning suite—reinforces our confidence that we’ve chosen the right partner to help us empower our customers' success," said Elizabeth Rogers, President and COO at The S Group.

“Our acquisition of Backbone PLM last year accelerated ongoing investments into our platform that are designed to address the constantly evolving product development-related needs for all Bamboo Rose customers," said Matt Stevens, CEO. "The S Group partnership exemplifies our commitment to providing advanced solutions for vendor collaboration, detailed reporting, and enhanced project management and we're deeply humbled to play a role in their exciting success journey.”

The S Group’s evolution with Bamboo Rose underscores the technology giant’s strength in serving the specific needs of brands and retailers as they grow into large enterprise organizations over time. Bamboo Rose is a trusted partner for today and tomorrow, committed to empowering ongoing success in the fashion and apparel industry.
