About Site Supplies & Services

Fire protection equipment supplier, Site Supplies & Services, has decided to use a software solution from Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS) to manage its Hertfordshire based operation.Specialising in the supply of sprinklers, dry risers and other residential fire protection equipment, Site Supplies & Services operates alongside a sister company, Peter’s Transport Ltd, which looks after its deliveries and collections on a 24/7, 365 days a year basis. Established in 2000, the company has a reputation for providing excellent customer service.

Our business, which is growing year on year, has outgrown the basic accountancy system we’ve been using since 2006. We needed more sophisticated functionality to manage our stock across two branches, our customer data and price lists.

'We also wanted a system that would be easy for all our staff, including new staff employees, to use,' explained Maggie, 'Some of our suppliers also use K8 software and recommended it to us. Other factors in our decision were the confidence we had in the future development of K8 and the knowledgeable team who demonstrated the product.'

KCS solutions can be delivered in a variety of ways and Site Supplies will be accessing theirs via SaaS or ‘Software as a Service’. The software will sit on the K-Cloud and the seven users at Site Supplies will access it over the Internet. A key benefit of SaaS for small or medium-sized companies, with no in-house IT expertise, is how the software provider handles all system maintenance automatically and remotely and there is no need for servers on the business premises.

Our current system makes hard work of daily tasks. My trade counter and back office team is looking forward to working more quickly and easily when K8 goes live.
