F30 Building Products upgraded from an accounts package at capacity limits to K8 from Kerridge Commercial Systems. The system supports multi-site operations across Bristol and Plymouth depots, allowing branch managers to control stock, logistics, and reporting locally. K8 integrates sales order processing, purchasing, stock control, CRM, and financial accounting on a single ledger, with plans for further branch expansion.

Key takeaways

Legacy accounts system could not handle growing transaction volumes or multi-site data requirements.

K8 enables real-time information access and autonomous operations at each depot location.

Stock control and logistics shift from centralized head office to local branch management.

Single integrated ledger supports sales, purchasing, CRM, and KPI reporting across sites.

Scalable architecture positions F30 to expand branches while matching larger competitors' capabilities.
