Firwood Timber: Building strong foundations with Kerridge Commercial Systems in their 50th year of business
Success stories
Below are just a sample of some of our customer success stories. So, don't just take our word for it. Read how Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS) business management solutions are helping companies digitally transform across the distribution, automotive, and rental industries.
With 70-80 operators to process each week, our original management method was over-complicating processes and very resource-hungry. inspHire then introduced us to the timesheet function, which saves our team two days a week and allows us to focus on other areas.
Gareth Clements, Operations Director at Ardent Hire Solutions

We've been with KCS since 1986, so 38 years. Naturally, we're delighted with the software. Around 70 per cent of our business is wholesale, so from a distribution point of view, we find the KCS system excellent.
Ciaran Murray, IT Manager for Tractamotors

We used a previous ERP system before, but we moved to Autopart about two and a half years ago, and it's been a complete transformation. With the cloud-based system, it's like moving from night to day. It's a great system.
