Working in partnership with Kerridge CS saves EH Smith ‘dozens of man hours’

“We worked in partnership with KCS to develop a solution whereby we had a mass amendment ability within the projects module. We can now identify a project, select the changes that need to be made and use that application to bring up all those orders and associated lines.”

James Cave, Senior Business Analyst, EH Smith

Ensuring customers can deliver great service with maximum efficiency is at the heart of the partnership Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS) offers to its customers. This means providing the tools they need to source effectively, stock efficiently, sell profitably and service competitively in their respective markets.

K8 business management software provides KCS customers with a vast range of industry-specialist features designed to ensure they have that competitive edge. Sometimes, they need something extra to really make sure they have a real advantage over the competition - and the KCS team works in partnership with customers to create a solution.

One business to have recently deployed an application such as this is EH Smith Architectural Clay Products, a division of independent builders’ merchant EH Smith who have 98 years’ experience in the construction industry as established specialists in bricks and building materials. The Architectural Clay Products division deals with companies specifying large-scale projects across the UK, and is well established in the sector as an industry leader.

James Cave, Senior Business Analyst at EH Smith, reveals that creating a tailored application was necessary for the administration team, and how the results have led to considerable time and efficiency savings.
