Kerridge CS Powers the Technology for Ark Trading’s Drive Thru

"We are the first traders to provide customers with this service from the convenience of their vehicles. Clients can remain in their vehicles while material is brought to them and loaded into their vehicles."

Levi Strauss, Director of Purchasing, Ark Trading

Ark Trading has been a Kerridge Commercial Systems customer since 2015. K8 replaced an outdated POS “Sales Assist” and manual back office process. Paul Koster, new Managing Director of Ark Trading, focused the relaunch of Ark Trading to position the company to provide the best possible service to all building contractors. As part of the relaunch, Ark Trading launched its ‘Drive Thru’ for all hardware and building customers in June 2017.

Powered by K8 technology, Ark Trading are able to have a mobile work station using a wireless network to service their customers in their yard. The ‘transit service’ concept was complete with a printer, allowing customers to receive a full service and sales transaction from the convenience of their vehicle.
