Customer numbers continue to rise
BM Aluminium has seen an 8% rise in customer numbers since the start of 2019 as the aluminium sector continues to defy sluggish market conditions, the company has reported.
The exclusive UK distributor of the LogiKal software system said the increase is coming from both new and established businesses, and reflects the ongoing growth across the board in aluminium.
Managing director Dean Hodges said: “These new customers are in retail, trade and commercial markets, and range from start-ups to big, familiar names. What they have in common is a desire to future proof their businesses by choosing software they know can accommodate even the most ambitious potential growth.
“The biggest shift we are seeing is in companies choosing LogiKal as an alternative to the proprietary software provided by their aluminium systems company. This is because LogiKal gives them the freedom to switch effortlessly between systems as they diversify and take on other new products.
“With so many exciting new innovations coming to the market in aluminium, fabricators are telling us that they want to be able to put together their own product ranges without it impacting on their efficiency or service levels and LogiKal obviously enables them to do exactly that.”
Another key driver for many of these new BM Aluminium customers is the continuing market investment taking place in machinery. With no let up in the number of CNC machines being ordered, LogiKal continues to be the first choice software for providing all of the relevant machine links, the company said.
BM Aluminium is also currently benefiting from the number of new systems houses – including Cortizo – entering the UK market, which are making their databases available to new customers within LogiKal.
