Kerridge Commercial Systems adds an integrated
Tool and Plant Hire feature to its comprehensive Wholesale, Distribution
and Merchants solution, K8.
The Tool and Plant Hire feature includes an integrated asset register
with appropriate depreciation features. Visually intuitive and easy
to use functionality offers selling features to help promote associated
products, including sale or return functions for consumables. Deposit
management, cash handling and electronic funds transfer are available,
including chip and pin compatibility. Customer specific pricing is
featured with comprehensive hire rate options and various invoicing
terms and frequencies. Invoice forecasting and other management tools
provide day-to-day visibility of the department performance. In addition,
the Tool and Plant Hire feature also maintains service history of
all assets and an integrated workshop management system for in-house
repair and maintenance management. Comprehensive and easy to use,
Kerridge Commercial Systems' Plant and Tool Hire will be of interest to
specialist hire businesses as well as those looking to add Hire management
to a more diverse business.
As an integral part of the K8 solution, the Tool and Plant Hire integrates with the K8 accounting system, sharing the same tight financial controls and management visibility as the rest of the business. In addition to the accounts integration, the company wide marketing system, which is at the heart of the K8 system, is updated immediately with valuable customer details that can be used by all other areas of the business to promote and gain other sales opportunities.
Says David Liddle, Product Development Director at Kerridge Commercial Systems, "the addition of the Tool and Plant Hire feature to K8 is in keeping with our strategy to offer a total solution for the building and industrial distribution industry. In addition to the hire specialists, who will find this solution attractive, many of our more diverse customers will also seek to use the Tool and Plant Hire feature. Some of our Merchant customers already boast a hire department and some others have expressed an interest in launching their own hire departments. We feel it essential to bring an integrated option to K8. As many Merchants seek to develop new ways of attracting business, Tool and Plant Hire solutions will become increasingly necessary."
