Case Study: Anglo Stainless achieves real-time control, efficiency and full traceability with Kerridge Commercial Systems (K8 Manufacturing)

Success all the way for Anglo with K8 Manufacturing

Anglo Stainless Limited, a major stockholder and manufacturer of stainless steel fittings serving around 400 customers in the chemical, oil, gas, brewing and food sectors from West Yorkshire, needed to replace outdated computer and manual systems to reduce duplicated effort, improve traceability and gain accurate real‑time information across combined distribution and manufacturing operations. To meet these needs they selected Kerridge Commercial Systems and its K8 Manufacturing solution.

Kerridge Commercial Systems implemented K8 Manufacturing (live July 2009), delivering shop‑floor data capture, seamless distribution‑manufacturing integration, intercompany trading, electronic invoicing and stronger inventory and quotation controls. The system eliminated manual production monitoring with exception‑based reviews of actual vs allowed times, ensured consistent, accurate quotations and invoicing, cut postage and stationery costs through emailed invoices, and produced measurable productivity gains, cost savings and improved decision‑making that supported ongoing growth.
