RK Ceramics selects the K8 business system for tile and bathroom distribution.

Kerridge Commercial Systems, leading provider of fully integrated business systems for tile and bathroom distributors, has announced that R K Ceramics Ltd has selected their K8 software solution to further grow the company and strengthen their business processes.

(July 2004) R K Ceramics, leading importer and distributor of high quality bathroom products, recently signed up to the K8 software solution from Kerridge Commercial Systems. R K Ceramics distribute to the highest standard bathroom products to the UK's leading outlets from their base in Warrington, Cheshire.

R K Ceramics, and its sister company Langley London Ltd, is a family run business that has been trading in its current form for over 12 years. They pride themselves in distributing the Villeroy & Boch brand all across the UK.

Says Rick Jones, Managing Director of Langley London Ltd, "we had got to the point when we desperately needed to replace our existing system as we were finding it impossible to extract the right information from it. The system also lacked specific functionality which is essential to us as a business."

Rick continues, "we looked at 4 different software suppliers, but the K8 solution, from Kerridge Commercial Systems, was the only choice for us. The standard functionality of batch handling and warehousing, within K8, is exactly what we were looking for."

Adds Alan Jones, Managing Director of R K Ceramics Ltd, "batch handling is critical for us here at R K Ceramics, and we are confident that the K8 solution handles that for us from day one, without any problems. I am sure it will be very easy for our warehousing staff to quickly pick the right tiles for our customers."

There are other reasons as to why R K Ceramics decided to implement Kerridge Commercial Systems' K8 solution. A major part is that the K8 solution has all the functionality a successful tile and bathroom distributor needs, as standard, so there are no modifications needed.

"The excellent transport planning suite of the K8 software will enable us to better adhere to our delivery promises and plan our distribution with even greater efficiency, whilst at the same time ensuring our vehicles are optimally loaded," finishes Rick.

Ian Bendelow, New Business Development Director, Kerridge Commercial Systems, is delighted to be in a position to welcome R K Ceramics to the ever increasing number of highly successful tile and bathrooms distributor customers using K8.
