The leading business solution for
builders merchants
For over 40 years, K8 has been the trusted ERP platform powering Britain's builders merchants. From bricks and timber to insulation materials, builders' merchant distribution demands precision at every step. Manual processes lead to stock shortages, pricing errors, and frustrated contractors. K8 integrates every touchpoint of your merchant business, helping leading builders' merchants deliver the rapid service their trade customers expect.
Here's what our customers love about K8:
With our ERP software, we are able to understand more quickly and effectively what margins we need to achieve on which products. We can now target the right pricing in the right areas for all our customers to make sure we keep their business.
