Case Study: Longwater Construction Supplies Ltd achieves greater operational control and growth-ready performance insight with Kerridge Commercial Systems' K8 ERP

Longwater chooses Kerridge CS Solution

Longwater Construction Supplies Ltd, a Norwich- and Essex-based supplier serving customers from DIY enthusiasts to major groundworking companies (with nine trucks in Norwich and two in Essex), needed better control and insight to support planned geographic and product growth. To gain clearer performance analysis and improve processes across sales, yard staff and delivery operations, Longwater chose K8, the ERP system from Kerridge Commercial Systems.

Kerridge Commercial Systems implemented a 30-user K8 system deployed on an on-site server to provide integrated trading and business-management functionality. The case study does not report quantified post‑implementation results, but Longwater expects K8 to deliver greater adaptability in analysing performance by product group and customer, improved operational control and the ability to identify new opportunities to support its expansion—outcomes Kerridge Commercial Systems is engaged to deliver.
