Stevens is succeeding Sue Welch, who founded Bamboo Rose and served as CEO.

  • A key extension of Product Lifecycle Management, Claims Management helps retailers and brands keep pace with ESG legislation and consumer expectations.

    BOSTON – December 20, 2022 – Bamboo Rose, the leading multi-enterprise supply chain and product lifecycle management platform for retailers, brands, and suppliers, is excited to announce new Claims Management functionality that prepares retailers and brands for emerging regulations, changing consumer trends, and accelerating competitive pressures.

    Consumers expect retailers and brands to bring products to market that align with their fast-changing expectations and coincide with their personal values. As organizations scramble to keep pace, they run the risk of making claims on products that might be inaccurate – introducing consumer safety, regulatory, and brand risk. Bamboo Rose Claims Management helps retailers maintain product innovation agility to consumer trends and values while digitally ensuring that these product claims aren’t misleading or inaccurate. The platform’s multi-enterprise architecture takes this assurance a step further – validating product claims against several tiers of a client’s supply chain community.

    “Today, all product categories, from apparel to health and beauty, need to ensure that claims they make on raw materials, ingredients, sourcing partners, and packaging can be verified and substantiated under regulatory scrutiny,” said Ann Diamante, Chief Product Officer at Bamboo Rose. “It’s been exciting to work closely with product, supply chain, legal, and marketing teams on a platform that supports agile, low risk product innovation across global markets.”

    Aggregating and digitizing claims management data on Bamboo Rose replaces multiple legacy systems and manual data management approaches that have eroded data quality and generated siloes across teams. On Bamboo Rose, this data becomes real-time and validated by 3rd parties as well as internal teams. In a digital format, this diverse data becomes searchable allowing clients to quickly search product specifications such as ingredients, materials, or claims across the entire portfolio to prepare for emerging regulations or respond to an inbound consumer inquiry.

    In January, the Bamboo Rose leadership team will be in attendance at NRF 2023, Retail’s Big Show, meeting with clients on platform strategy, demonstrating industry leading software, and discussing the trajectory of the retail industry in 2023 and beyond. To meet with Bamboo Rose at NRF, schedule a meeting to visit us at Booth #3966.

    “We’re thrilled to partner with Bamboo Rose and Columbus Consulting who will be key players in digitizing and streamlining our product management processes through seamless digital transparency and communication,” said Charlotte Davies, Chief Product Officer at Hunkemöller.

  • The industry software leader works with the world's largest retail and brand organizations to drive agility and visibility across their product development, sourcing, and supply chain operations

    BOSTONJan. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Bamboo Rose, the leading multi-enterprise supply chain and product lifecycle management platform for retailers, brands, and suppliers, has surpassed $1T in annual client revenue in 2022. This milestone comes as Bamboo Rose has added a record number of new global retail clients such as Hunkemöller and The Vitamin Shoppe and strengthened strategic relationships with existing enterprise clients including GAP and Urban Outfitters.

    This momentum for Bamboo Rose comes as shifting consumer demand, supply chain disruption, macro-economic headwinds, and emerging Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) regulations have all placed pressure on retailers to drive agility and efficiency across their product and supply chain organizations. Bamboo Rose's two-decade presence as an innovator and thought leader in the retail industry positions them well to help clients digitize collaboration and transaction to help manage compounding business complexity.

    Bamboo Rose's growth, coupled with strategic alignment to some of the retail industry's core business challenges and technology requirements in 2023, has generated major strategic moves for the B2B software company. In June, Bamboo Rose announced a strategic investment from Rubicon Technology Partners, a leading private equity firm based in Boulder, Colorado that is focused exclusively on investing in and growing enterprise software companies.

    Additionally, Bamboo Rose announced a new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Matt Stevens, and Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), Mike Mattei, in December 2022. Stevens and Mattei are technology industry veterans with extensive experience growing software organizations into market leaders via extensive operations and go to market experience.

    "The results speak for themselves. Bamboo Rose is a strategic, foundational platform for some of the retail industry's largest players. I'm excited and humbled at the opportunity to partner with both Bamboo Rose's current and future clients on delivering highly differentiated and transformative solutions that are core to their retail business success," said Stevens.

    January 15-17, the Bamboo Rose team will be in attendance at NRF 2023, Retail's Big Show, meeting with clients on platform strategy, demonstrating industry leading software to members of the retail community, and discussing the trajectory of the retail industry in 2023 and beyond.
