Klipboard welcomed a record number of customers, partners and industry leaders to its customer event, Konnect 2025, held at the Crowne Plaza, Stratford-upon-Avon. The two-day conference marked what the company describes as a major turning point in its journey, with the official unveiling of the Klipboard brand, new solutions and AI capabilities, and a bold vision for the future of business management technology.
One of the major updates shared at Konnect 2025 was the official unveiling of Klipboard – the new name for the business formerly known as Kerridge Commercial Systems. The rebrand unifies the group’s previously separate businesses, brands, and products under one clear identity, Klipboard says, making it easy for customers to engage with the full suite of solutions that now sit under one roof.
CEO Ian Bendelow described the rebrand as “an exciting milestone, reflecting Klipboard as a unified, forward-thinking organisation dedicated to delivering industry-tailored solutions across wholesale distribution, automotive, field service, rental, transport management and manufacturing sectors.” He continued: “Today marks an exciting milestone as we launch Klipboard. This rebrand reflects our passion for collaboration, innovation and delivering measurable value to customers. We believe this new name and a contemporary brand identity will showcase what our amazing teams do and help customers to navigate all our solution offerings under one roof.”
The rebrand will be rolled out globally in phases across 2025, with all solutions aligning under the Klipboard name. James Mitchell, CEO of Klipboard Europe, opened the conference by setting the tone ahead and highlighting the importance of an integrated solution portfolio. “Increasingly our customers do more for their customers. They sell and install items, service, repair, rent and maintain. Many deliver and collect items with transport solutions.”
Konnect 2025 was the largest event in the company’s history, both in terms of turnout and ambition. The company concludes: “From bold new branding and cutting-edge AI to deeper investment in innovation and customer service, the event clearly showed Klipboard’s momentum and customer-first mindset. As the event closed, the message was clear: Klipboard is not just transforming software – it’s helping its customers transform the way they do business.”
