Open ECX partners with K8 to further
digitise the supply chain
Open ECX is pleased to announce a partnership with Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS), the leading provider of business management solutions for the distribution, automotive and rental industries. Through this strategic partnership, K8 customers will gain access to the Open ECX Next Generation EDI platform, which is designed to optimise and further automate the Order to Cash and Purchase to Payment processes within K8. By delivering this comprehensive and integrated solution with its flagship business software, KCS will help its users facilitate fast, secure, and paperless transactions for smoother daily operations.
“Open ECX’s cloud-hosted solutions ensure an accurate, secure, and completely digital transaction environment,” says James Mitchell, KCS UK & Ireland Managing Director.
“Through the sophisticated integration of K8 and Open ECX, we will deliver greater automation to key trading activities for our customers, significantly improving their processing speed and accuracy. This innovation reduces costs and enables our customers to redeploy resources within their business, as well as helping them further eliminate the unnecessary use of paper, energy and other capital.”
Another key area of importance for KCS is how this integration not only streamlines operations but also supports environmental sustainability. “By reducing the need for paper-based processes,” James Mitchell highlights, “we’re helping our customers find ways to reduce their carbon footprint, which is important because that aligns with our global efforts as a business to help realise a safer and more secure environment for us all – sustainability and profitability do go hand-in-hand.”
Kerridge Commercial Systems provides innovative, digital software solutions and services to its customers worldwide. In addition, KCS partners with best-in-class providers like Open ECX to help its customers enjoy the benefits of fully digitising their business operations – crucial in a world where skilled resources are at a premium.
