The Kerridge ‘Konnect’ customer conference has opened at the Crowne Plaza in Stratford on Avon. Around three hundred attendees have joined the two day event, which includes a number of breakout sessions and discussions with commercial partners that link to the software, such as Dojo card payments.
James Mitchell, MD opened the event with a speech that focussed on the computer firm’s three areas of focus, namely sustainability, profitability and digitisation. He added that the company is planning to expand its reach throughout the world through a mixture of organic growth and by buying out companies.
