Stafix chooses K8

11th February 2015: Ndlovu Fencing, trading as Stafix Electric Fence Centres, is the Southern African distributor and importer of the international Stafix and JVA range of electric fencing energizers and components. They also supply Roboguard and CP PLUS CCTV products and accessories as well as gate and garage door automation systems.

Stafix MD, Shaun Williamson, says “Stafix started in the 90’s, but the CEO Maurice Williamson introduced high-powered electric fencing to the Southern African market in the 70’s. With many years of in-field practical experience and technical knowledge in the erection and installation of electric fences, automatic gate motors, and intercom systems, Stafix now provides customers with all the necessary products, equipment, service and advice that they require for their installation needs in the Agricultural, Wildlife and Security fencing sectors.”

Stafix selected the K8 ERP solution from Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS) to support their business and provide a firm foundation for their continued growth. The initial rollout of K8 will be for 60 users for the Central South African based branches. Phase 2 will follow in the Southern regions, adding another 60 users to the system and includes the manufacturing arm of the business. This will bring the total branches to approximately 20. K8’s comprehensive functionality includingn offline tills, central forecasting and data warehousing, helped secure the deal over competitor offerings.

K8 will be replacing a system which the client has outgrown and found lacking in inter-branch functionality, sales order and stock visibility as well as finance requirements for global credit control and consolidation. Furthermore K8 will help the business to improve their supply chain and control margins.

KCS South Africa Managing Director, Des Nangle, says, “We are very pleased to welcome Stafix to the growing number of multi-branch distributors who use K8 on a daily basis for accurate stock and financial information. These customers rely heavily on Kerridge Commercial Systems to supply and support business critical technology. Stafix is a prestigious organisation and we are looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership”.

Stafix Financial Director, Mrs Heidi Williamson, commented “K8 is a well-recognised solution in South Africa, and is well known for its tradingand distribution functionality.

With Stafix continuing to grow we need to have a successful ERP partner to grow with us. Data integrity is a vital part of any business today, so it is very important to choose the correct ERP solution.”
