Kerridge Commercial Systems, leading software provider to the tile and bathroom wholesale, merchant and distribution market place, is further strengthening its K8 software proposition by offering an interface to the Logicom product, Virtual Worlds.
(May 2005) Kerridge Commercial Systems
has recently announced that they will be working together with Logicom,
leading supplier of CAD (Computer Aided Design) solutions. Logicom’s
virtual reality room planning software, Virtual Worlds, offers a flexible,
easy to use CAD system for the design of Kitchens and Bathrooms and
is used extensively by Builders Merchants and specialist Kitchen,
Tile and Bathroom suppliers and designers.
Ian Bendelow, New Business Development Director, Kerridge Commercial Systems,
says "we are pleased to have this co-operation agreement in
place with Logicom. Given our large customer base in the Tile, Kitchen
and
Bathroom industries, we felt it time to co-operate with other complementary
software suppliers to bring an even more 'joined up' IT solution
to
our customers. The interface between K8 and Logicom enables our mutual
customers to build visually the bathroom or kitchen and then secure
the order by electronically linking the CAD system to the stock management,
quotation and pricing features of Kerridge
Commercial Systems' K8. This
can be achieved without any delays, re-keying and potential keying
errors. Customer satisfaction, financial control and efficiency are
delivered through our interface."
Logicom is a leading Virtual Reality Room-planning 3-D software specialist with over 1,000 professional customers in the UK. The 'Virtual Worlds' package revolutionises interior design and planning, producing a 'live' 3-D walkthrough. Customer's requirements can be instantly changed and visualised. Following years of effort, a special version with unprecedented design features was launched last year aimed at the tiling industry.
Ian continues, "Kerridge Commercial Systems believes that partnering with Logicom offers tangible benefits to our mutual customers. We are pleased to be able to provide our customers with new functionality as an option within our K8 solution. It's an open world and time that IT companies offered truly integrated solutions to the advantage of real businesses."
The partnership between Kerridge Commercial Systems and Logicom will bring together the best of two breeds. Although the products are mutually independent, together they will enhance the productivity and improve on customer service for bathroom and tile distributors, wholesalers and merchants. For Kerridge Commercial Systems to have a working relationship with Logicom ensures that their customers are provided with a range of solutions and services that ensure the easiest, highest level of service to their customers.
Dave Varey, Managing Director of Logicom states, "we are delighted to be working in cooperation with Kerridge Commercial Systems. This will enable our users to immediately make Virtual Worlds more of a complete business package. It also allows our company to keep our programming resources focussed on enhancing even further the specific strengths of visualisation and planning in the tiling, bathroom and kitchen design markets."
Continues Ian Bendelow, "our philosophy is always to be one step ahead with technology and always in a position to offer the best possible solution to our customers."
