Case Study: Taylor & Sons achieves 50% greater efficiency and same-day invoicing with Kerridge Commercial Systems (K8)

Kerridge CS supporting growth at Taylor & Sons

Taylor & Sons is a London-based timber merchant founded by Ian Taylor that grew organically supplying around 100 small-to-medium builders. Before working with Kerridge Commercial Systems, the business relied on manual spreadsheets and USB transfers, which made invoicing slow (often a month late) and obscured stock value and buying efficiency. Ian chose K8, the ERP system from Kerridge Commercial Systems, to address these challenges.

Kerridge Commercial Systems implemented K8 for sales, purchasing, accounting and stock control, with quick setup and minimal training. The system made Taylor & Sons about 50% more efficient, cut invoicing from two–three weeks to less than a day, improved cash flow through smarter buying, and produced business intelligence that reduced delivery and stock costs.
