Case Study: Steyport Ltd. achieves real-time stock control and improved operational efficiency with Kerridge Commercial Systems' K8 Manufacturing

K8 Manufacturing playing an essential role

Steyport Ltd. is a family-owned manufacturer of premium paints and printing inks (processing nearly 2,000 orders a year with ~10% exports) that outgrew its legacy IT system by 2009. Seeking a modern, fully integrated solution, Steyport Ltd. selected K8 Manufacturing from Kerridge Commercial Systems after benchmarking shortlisted options and valuing ongoing development and industry credibility.

Kerridge Commercial Systems implemented K8 Manufacturing using its Business Process Mapping, on‑site consultancy, training and data conversion to integrate sales, R&D, production and QA. The solution delivered one‑time data entry, real‑time stock and financial visibility, accurate process costing, batch traceability, remote order entry and decision‑support dashboards—reducing administrative burden and speeding decisions; Steyport Ltd. reports gains in efficiency across the business and says it would now find it very difficult to run the factory without K8 Manufacturing from Kerridge Commercial Systems.
