Case Study: Nordstrom Timber achieves full stock visibility and greater profitability with Kerridge Commercial Systems' K8 ERP

Nordstrom Timber upgrades to integrated ERP system from Kerridge CS

Nordstrom Timber, the largest independent timber merchant in the City of Sunderland and a family-run business since 1953, faced growing operational strain from a 25‑year-old accounting system and manual till processes that caused stock invisibility, order errors and limited margin control. To modernise operations they chose an integrated ERP upgrade to K8 from Kerridge Commercial Systems.

Kerridge Commercial Systems implemented the K8 trading and business management solution—covering sales, finance, stock control, works orders and delivery management (with Web Builder planned for later)—to give Nordstrom Timber a single view of stock and sales. As a result, Nordstrom now has full stock visibility at the trade counter, can relay works orders more efficiently, reduce callbacks and processing errors, and expect improved margin control and profitability.
