Original Software has announced that EH Smith, a leading builders’ merchant in the UK has become the latest customer on their ERP Testing Platform.
A family-run business with over 100 years’ experience in the construction industry, EH Smith are one of the UK’s largest independent builders’ merchants, supplying products and services to tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts across the country.
Continuous Improvement Director at EH Smith, James Cave, explains why they came to Original Software to help with their drive towards more structured business process testing with their ERP system, Kerridge K8: “Our testing process was mainly manual, which means it can be slow to carry out and resolve any fixes that arise at update time. With a major upgrade on the horizon, we needed to alleviate any fears about business impacts that can be caused by any system and process issues.”
To combat the risk of business disruption, EH Smith chose the Original Software Testing Platform to organize their testing activities and carry out their manual testing, with the added bonus of capturing their processes in helpful documentation for the business to use in training and knowledge transfer.
James continues, “Maintaining business continuity is critical, and any issues in our business applications can have disastrous consequences for us, such as lost revenue, disruption to customer orders and internal transfers. We selected Original Software for their experience in testing over multiple ERPs and applications combined with a quick and easy solution for our team to work with.”
Carl Andrews, CEO at Original Software commented, “Original Software is delighted to welcome James and the team at EH Smith to our testing platform. We’re looking forward to helping EH Smith further increase time-savings and coverage with their testing on the exciting pathway to automation in the future. ”
