Tilespace has been a customer of KCS since 2010. It has two branches. Tilespace offers an unrivalled selection of exclusive, imported brands specialising in tiles, sanitary ware, taps and fittings. It recently upgraded from K8.07 to Babbage.
With an executive board counting on 75 years of collective industry experience and bolstered by dedicated and experienced management and staff, the collaboration has been dynamic, earning Tilespace a highly respected reputation in the marketplace. Management's daily hands-on approach to the business has resulted in a culture of agility, intimacy and virtuosity breeding trust among key suppliers and long-standing clients.
"Due to all our testing, the great team I had at Tilespace as well as KCS, we had a very smooth go-live, with almost zero issues," said Bronwen Fritz, Financial Manager, Tilespace.
"We can't stress enough the importance of testing and having a good team of individuals doing this process from a client perspective, as well as a KCS one," said Paulo Rodrigues, Operations Manager, Tilespace.
