Case Study: Bonus Electrical achieves a 5% margin increase with Kerridge Commercial Systems' K8

Bonus Electrical - Customer Case Study

Bonus Electrical, a Hull-based wholesaler tasked in 2013 with doubling turnover and improving profitability, was struggling with an unstable incumbent system and a lack of business intelligence. They selected Kerridge Commercial Systems’ K8 software for its industry experience and responsive sales approach to provide a robust trading platform and the reporting they urgently needed.

Kerridge Commercial Systems implemented K8 (including an integrated POD system and a Luckins interface for near-instant catalogue updates), plus email invoicing and real-time pricing at the trade counter. The solution delivered time and cost savings across the business, deeper sales analysis to refine rebates and buying, faster customer service, and measurable impact — Bonus’ turnover rose from £3m to £10m in six years and, since adding the Luckins interface, margins improved by 5%.
