Kiddicare plans for growth

Sunday July 1 2007

Kiddicare is using K3 to design and implement a complete retail management solution based on Microsoft Dynamics to support its expansion programme
Kiddicare, established in 1974, and is now the largest privately owned nursery supplier tin the UK. Its website was launched in 1999 making the company an early multi-channel player.

The company has grown steadily with more than 66,000 items ordered online each month and has now invested some £12 million in a new store and warehouse facility in Peterborough to cater for up to 8,000 pallets using high bay racking and a pick face supporting 3,500 locations over four floors.

K3 is now providing an end-to-end retail solution based on Microsoft Dynamics, that will enable improved management of stock, sales, promotions, buying, warehousing and financials. The new solution will become the single management point for all product information which will help streamline Kiddicare's processes and improve data accuracy.

The in-store offering includes EPoS and a kiosk solution based on K3's Order iPad. Kiddicare operates a "select and collect" process in the store for bulk items such as pushchairs which will be enhanced by the new kiosks. SharePoint is also being deployed to help manage product information for the website and improve collaboration with suppliers.

According to Scott Weavers-Wright, partner at Kiddicare: "We are dedicated to offering our customers outstanding service both in-store and online. We have chosen K3 as our partner in this drive and the solution can be extended to other Microsoft technologies. Our product offer will expand to drive higher sales in the new store and we anticipate that the new solution will enable us to manage furniture sales and an increased product offer."

It'll be interesting whether todays 133K sell by Andy Makeham causes the share price to drift.

Sab,

It's not easy to say. I've held KBT for quite a while and haven't seen similar peaks before - any previous rises (of lesser magnitude) have normally suffered retracement, but bearing in mind that we've seen a long-heralded breakout, it's anyone's guess. I would guess at a temporary retracement to around to 140p, but under the right news conditions we could see significant further progress.

It certainly seems a safe hold.

The trades data does not show a sell off today.

Hi all. New to this board. Was at an UKSA ( UK Shareholders' Association ) presentation by their top brass yesterday in Manchester. Was impressed and bought a few today on the dip. Hope I'm not too late after the steep rise recently. Do you think it's an inevitable dip or the start of a serious reversal ? Hope not ! Not heard of the Co. before yesterday. Good luck to all. Sab.

I suppose a little retracement's inevitable following such a strong surge.

Tipped (twice!) in Shares Mag today.

[spaceparallax] 11/4/2007 15:02

Looks like some are seeing 150p as profit-taking country! Who can blame them?

[stoaty1] 11/4/2007 14:47

A very big move up ,is something afoot?

[spaceparallax] 11/4/2007 14:46

better and better.

[orange1] 11/4/2007 14:14

All goes to show patience can be rewarded in the end!
Think the woes of Torex and the consequential benefits for K3 could be the driver at present.

Still watching - drat!
