K8: Providing Real World Solutions to the Challenges of the Modern Business

Whether in the distribution, merchant, wholesale or retail trade, the modern business faces the same set of particular challenges. Having identified these challenges, leading specialist software provider Kerridge Commercial Systems has designed real world solutions with its highly advanced K8 system.

Strategic decision-making

Performance in the modern business world is all about strategic thinking, but strategic decision-making is only effective if the foundation strategy is based on accurate and up-to-date data. When the information is as important as profit margins, best-selling products, sales performance and demand levels, only real-time data is of use. K8 business intelligence software facilitates fast and accurate business decisions through easy accessible, immediate data. K8’s financial management solutions allow this data to be incorporated with accounts, while K8 Mobile delivers all this information to your smart phone, laptop or tablet.

Growth management

Modern businesses must evolve or die, but growth can be a risky thing. In order to minimise the risk and effectively manage the growth, you need complete control over all business streams. Rely on K8 web builder software to secure the growth with reliable IT systems which support new market opportunities. Look to K8 warehouse management software to tightly control inventory, replenishment, dispatch and delivery. Utilise K8 Financials to help you adapt to the new needs of a growing business.

Cash and margin control

Cash and margin control is all about attention to detail, ensuring costs are kept in check, margins are correct, stock levels are healthy and accounts are paid quickly. K8 purchase order control software allows for accurate forecasting; K8 supply chain management software keeps control of stock, warehousing and delivery; while K8 sales order processing software facilitates fast and accurate quotations, transactions and payments.

Customer relationships

Modern businesses ignore ongoing customer relationships at their peril. Keep your customers happy at all times and you keep them away from your competitors. K8 offers CRM solutions which deliver essential customer data for targeted sales and marketing. K8 warehouse and stock management software gets the right products to the right customers, on time. K8 Ecommerce offers fast, secure and convenient trading for both you and your customers.

Security and continuity

Even if all of the other challenges are being managed effectively, a simple power outage or IT failure can still threaten the modern business. That is why K8 business continuity software provides critical systems backup and disaster recovery for major incidents. Meanwhile, K-Cloud enables you to operate virtually, securely and flexibly; and Offline Trading allows your branches to continue trading even during server malfunction or failed network connections.

Kerridge Commercial Systems is excited to be able to deliver such far-reaching solutions to the challenges facing businesses today.

What Are The Benefits Of K-Cloud Computing Software?

You will undoubtedly have heard mention of cloud computing software over the last few years. This is a proven and highly effective method of off-site data storage, maintenance and protection. The technological experts at Kerridge Commercial Systems have provided this specialist K-Cloud service to a variety of businesses. We've received a number of positive reports from customers who've enjoyed the types of benefits outlined in this blog.

Cloud Solutions To Suit Various Businesses

We offer a range of cloud computing services to businesses of different sizes and specialisms. They are able to choose cloud computing packages which may be easily adapted to match their specific requirements. Some have the need to store large amounts of valuable data, while others are more interested in web hosting. Our helpful team will take the time to arrange packages based upon these kinds of demands.

An Affordable Alternative To Traditional Storage

Customers have the option of paying for cloud computing services in regular instalments. This makes it easier to manage the financial aspects of data storage. There is no need to spend large amounts on brand new hard drives or computer memory upgrades. And it is possible to restrict the amount that is spent on dedicated IT support.

The Protection Of Essential Data

Individuals who have access to cloud computing software do not have to concern themselves with the creation of back-ups or the implications of computer breakdowns. They can save files automatically to the cloud. Workers can use their personal computers and handheld devices to gain access securely stored data. It is even possible for different staff members to log on and collaborate via the cloud.

Remote Working Opportunities

Staff that would previously have been required to work from a central office are now able to complete tasks off-site. They can access the cloud from home or the hotel conference room. Business owners who've allowed their employees to telecommute have noticed an improvement in productivity and general satisfaction.

Our Promise

Of course the IT requirements of different businesses are liable to change over time. It may be necessary to increase the level of accessibility or the amount of storage. However, the level of K-Cloud provision can be scaled to meet these specific demands. We will provide on-going IT support to suit our client's needs.
