Case Study: Edgar Brothers achieves streamlined operations and future growth with Kerridge Commercial Systems' K8

Implementing K8 to support future growth

Edgar Brothers, a Macclesfield-based distributor and retailer of firearms and ammunition established in 1947, faced growing pains from rapid business expansion and reliance on bolt-on solutions and workarounds in their legacy OneOffice environment. To gain integrated management information and more capable warehouse and procurement functionality, Edgar Brothers selected K8 from Kerridge Commercial Systems as their new ERP platform.

Kerridge Commercial Systems led a METIS Discovery phase with in-depth workshops, configured K8 around Edgar Brothers’ processes, and implemented advanced warehouse management, procurement functionality and handheld/barcode operations alongside a train‑the‑trainer program. The K8 rollout eliminated bolt-on solutions, introduced powerful business information tools, delivered measurable time‑saving efficiencies in procurement and warehousing, and positioned Edgar Brothers to support future growth with a planned go‑live in January 2016.
