DBM Group set to build future with K8

Contract signed for new, fully integrated system

29th April 2014: Kerridge Commercial Systems announces that DBM Group has placed an order for K8 - the market-leading integrated solution widely used by UK builders’ merchants. Kent-based DBM will use their new system to improve business efficiencies, develop customer service capabilities and support future growth. The 26 user K8 system will be implemented across the group which comprises DBM Civils, Discount Builders Merchants, Medway Builders Merchants and One Stop Builders Merchants.

Branch manager Lukha Singh who led the project to choose a new system said, “Our business has grown substantially in recent years and our existing systems lacks the integrated functionality that we now need. K8 will provide us with first class sales, purchasing, stock control and financial tools, reduce paperwork and streamline our processes significantly. Not having to manually cross-check orders with invoices will save a lot of time and much greater visibility of real time information will speed up our sales counter operations.”

DBM Group’s decision to implement the system followed a thorough review of suitable alternatives and ultimately, the choice was between K8 and another leading system. The company chose K8 for its proven, wide-ranging capability and well-established reputation in the builders’ merchant sector. “Knowing that the system is used by many builders’ merchants across the South East is very reassuring. We are confident that K8 will serve us extremely well,” said Lukha.
