Source effectively

Your business performance depends on product quality, price, differentiation, and availability. Therefore, sourcing the right product at the best price is vital to attaining improved sales, higher profit margins, and excellent service across your supply chain.

Stock efficiently

Maintaining optimal stock levels can reduce handling costs and ensure economical transportation. However, such efficiency is only possible with software that helps you manage your inventory with clear visibility of supply and demand levels.

Sell profitably

Sometimes, there's no need to create or add new products. Instead, businesses can sell more products to customers by opening more routes to market. And by selling through multiple at once, you can take advantage of new and massive business opportunities.

Service competitively

Competition for the same customers is tough, so you must differentiate, and that can't always be through price. To stand out, you need quality products at keen prices and outstanding customer support. All of that and more is possible with our ERP systems.

Consultancy services

Delivering a world-class solution for your business requires knowledgeable and experienced people. Our dedicated team of professional project managers and consultants have extensive knowledge and experience to deliver expert project management services.

Support services

Our team of experienced technical and application analysts can provide assistance with problems and questions relating directly to data processing, software operation, functionality or changes. We offer professional IT service desk support at whatever level your business needs to optimise efficiency across its operations.

Business continuity

Business continuity planning is key to continued, efficient business operations in the digital age. A cybersecurity breach, network shutdown, or other unplanned IT disaster can severely impact your productivity and profitability without having business continuity software to help your organisation bounce back faster after the unexpected happens.

Hardware services

Computer systems are a fundamental part of every business operation, but they also require resources, time and skills to manage. By outsourcing your hardware provision to our experienced staff, you can save costs and leave it to our experts to supply and support the right hardware for your IT systems.

eLearning resources

Our cutting-edge eLearning platform offers an exceptional online training experience unmatched in flexibility, providing our valued users with unparalleled convenience and customisation. In addition, by learning remotely, you avoid the need for travel, helping reduce costs and carbon emissions.

Cloud computing

At KCS, we have our own geographically diverse cloud solution that offers an affordable, flexible and scalable means of running business software and managing IT infrastructure. Upfront costs are kept to a minimum as there is no need to invest in servers and hardware that quickly become outdated. Meanwhile, outsourcing your IT infrastructure to KCS puts the experts in charge.

Building strong partnerships

At KCS, we believe our customers deserve the best, which includes unparalleled third-party integrations that enhance the value of their products. That's why we take pride in collaborating with business technology partners who are the best in their class. Thanks to their exceptional service and extensive knowledge, our customers benefit from a world-class solution for their industry. In turn, we assist our partners in their growth and show our appreciation for their investment in our future.

We enjoy working with our customers - as they do with us.

Our desire has always been to create the UK's premier plant hire company. We couldn't have achieved that without the suppliers, such as inspHire, to help us create what we've created now. So, thank you to inspHire!

It’s great that K8 Trader is fast. Product enquiries happen instantly, meaning we can serve customers quickly and further improve our service levels.

Autopart has enabled me to get better control over stock, as purchase orders are created automatically when I place an online order with suppliers. It's saved hours of time in the back-office processing invoices.
