Spec-Cast Wear Parts has nearly tripled in size since 2015 and required a system that could better manage its operations and financials. K8 provides the support for further growth of the business with a system that will offer the controls and efficiencies required.
Spec-Cast Wear Parts was founded in 1986, specialising in the manufacture and supply of patterns and casting to the railway industry, with replacement parts for coaches, wagons and locomotives. In 2005, Spec-Cast launched a new division, Spec-Cast Wear Parts, supplying replacement wear parts for the construction, mining and agricultural sectors.
Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS) first established a strategic long-term relationship with Spec-Cast Wear Parts in 2015.
Spec-Cast Wear Parts realised the need for a comprehensive, fully integrated ERP system after experiencing exponential growth in the business. K8 will be replacing their legacy system, which Spec-Cast felt lacked efficient stock management functionality and caused unnecessary duplication of work.
Aimee Mason, managing director of Spec-Cast Wear Parts, said: "K8 offers all the functionality we need, accommodating our complex business processes. K8 offers a fully integrated, non-modular ERP solution that will enable us to grow our business".
Upon implementation, Spec-Cast will benefit from key functionalities in K8 required for growth and to streamline processes. Some of the features include back-to-back processes for buy-outs and consolidated views.
They will further benefit from access to:
* Views of the group's overall performance at a click of a button;
* Drill-down functionality to manage inventory and employees;
* The ability to control and improve margins;
* Accurate forecasting, both long-term and short-term, as well as defined market segmentation.
Tiaan Grobbelaar, sales director at KCS, said: "We look forward to working with Spec-Cast Wear Parts and offering them the same value and expansional growth that we continue to offer to our current customers. With more than 40 years in the industry, we have no doubt that Spec-Cast Wear Parts and KCS will continue to grow together."
