Your business. Your way. What’s new in K8?
Our customers are constantly striving for innovation and new and better ways of doing things. We’re always listening to our customers and the evolution of K8 is driven by what they tell us they need. Our investment in development is currently focused around the sales, supply chain and finance areas. Sometimes it’s just a small change that can make a big difference to a customer’s pain point.
Here are some of K8’s latest features and innovations:
Electrical Catalogue (Luckins) – K8 enables the easy upload of product detail from the Luckins catalogue. Products can automatically be adopted within the product table, or the K8 Price File (this allows you to hold basic product detail within K8 and easily adopt the product, whether temporarily or permanently). In addition to the adoption of product, K8 allows for automated super-session and obsolescence.
K8 eReporting Dashboards – Reporting Dashboards provide your business with the ability to tailor and create your own KPIs and reports that can be delivered to users on their desktop, smartphone or tablet. With instant access to performance measures such as sales versus targets, aged debt profile, inventory on-hand, orders taken, supplier performance and many others, you can be sure that you stay connected to the business at all times.
Flexible product search and selection – Finding the right product is made easy within K8. Standard word searches can utilise ‘sounds like’ and ‘fuzzy’ search methods. For example, typing ‘Cabel’ would also return ‘Cable’, typing ‘Smyth’ would return ‘Smith’. It is possible to set default settings for the search at the system level or for individual searches - allowing different searches to behave differently. There are also settings to determine the ‘fuzziness’ of the search as well as the ordering of the results.
K8 ePOD (Electronic Proof of Delivery) – Allows your drivers to manage deliveries remotely. Once load planning has been completed within K8, the full manifest may be exported to the drivers HHT (Hand Held Terminal) and they will be guided to each delivery in turn. With full capability to confirm and amend deliveries, fail drops, capture images and a range of other sophisticated features, the driver can capture signatures and automatically complete deliveries. A signed POD is also stored within K8.
Works Order Processing – We’ve rebuilt this feature so it has a stronger manufacturing edge with multi-stage production and job costing capabilities.
Upgrade Toolset – Now we can upgrade our existing customers – even those with huge databases and a high throughput of orders - to new versions of K8 while they are still trading.
Capture contact image in Sales Order Processing – Customer contact images may now be captured and uploaded via Sales Order Processing. Once the image has been captured and stored against the contact, it displays in Sales Order Processing once that contact record is entered in the future.
File attachment to products – Multiple attachments may now be stored against each product within K8. Images and documents may be uploaded via the product maintenance function and these are then available via the stock display option. It is possible to upload images from a local repository, or to scan documents and to have these stored within the database and be accessible to all with appropriate security privileges.
