Spec-Cast Wear Parts

Spec-Cast Wear Parts has nearly tripled in size since 2015, therefore they required a system that could better manage their 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 (Pty) Ltd 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 (Pty) Ltd, supplying replacement wear parts for the construction, mining and agriculture 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 causing unnecessary duplication of work.

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."

Aimee Mason - Managing Director, Spec- Cast Wear Parts

Upon implementation Spec-Cast will benefit from key functionalities in K8 required for their growth and to streamline processes. Some of the features include; back to back processes for buy-outs and consolidated views.

They will further benefit having access to:

• Views of the group's overall performance at a click of a button.
• Drill down functionality to manage inventory and employees.
• Accurate forecasting, both long term and short term as well as defined market segmentation.

We look forward to working with SpecCast Wear Parts and offering them the same value and expansional growth which we continue to offer 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"
