Our customers

'The openness of K8 provided us with the means of becoming one of the first builders’ merchants in Northern Ireland to go live with a fully functional and integrated ecommerce website, allowing customers to check stock availability across our branch network as and when they need to.'

'Without K8, we wouldn’t have a business; the system is reliable, works well and is easy to use. Compared with the other systems that we have seen, being able to navigate quickly between modules and applications is fundamental for us.'

'The possibilities with K8 are endless with new things, better ways and more opportunities to improve the business,' says Eamonn McNeill, IT Manager for the Belfast-based company. 'Kerridge Commercial Systems and K8 are the right combination for us.'

'Liffey Distributors is the leading distributor of forest, garden and leisure equipment tools across Ireland. We maintain a philosophy of providing customers with high standards of support and service and K8 has completely changed the way we run the business for the better.'

'We were able to ensure continuity and the system’s capability in terms of audit and traceability means that controls are much tighter now, particularly if an issue occurs. And we're much more proactive than reactive to situations as they occur.'

'Before, we'd have to devote two days to stock takes. But with K8 Trader, sales and goods received updates immediately, so we always have the closing stock value. Also, instant trading stats - with positive and negative results for each line - saves time and helps decision-making.'

'Autopart is very user-friendly from both our side and the customer’s side. It has assisted us in things that you don’t often think of on a day-to-day basis such as keeping tabs on payments and outstanding invoices. Those smaller tasks often make a great difference in the big picture.'

'We chose to move to the cloud as we can't afford to have downtime at branches if there is a problem at head office. KCS provided a very detailed implementation and training process, and the support and follow-up have been excellent.'

'With tyres, we're ordering from Vietnam and Thailand 3-6 months in advance. As you can imagine, there can be logistical difficulties, plus concerns about having enough tyres in stock to meet demand. That's why we love the insights and intelligence we get from the K8 data warehouse.'
