Challenge
Brookwell Supplies Ltd is a family-run business supplying the complete range of Land Rover parts and accessories. The company started trading in 1981, from Bovey Tracey on the edge of Dartmoor, and having secured a contract to supply parts to the Royal Navy in Devonport opened a branch in Plymouth. The company is now the largest independent Land Rover parts supplier in the South West supporting customers in many countries around the world.
Brookwells had reached the point where their computer system was no longer meeting the needs of the business. It lacked functionality, and there was no development strategy. For Brookwells, investing in bespoke work was not an option, and a decision was made to invest in a new system. After a thorough evaluation, K8 was chosen, and with the guidance and support of Kerridge Commercial Systems, the implementation was completed in around three months from server arriving to go live.
