Meg Jorbel

December 8, 2025

A year of smarter tools, smoother workflows, and stronger delivery performance.

In 2025, Curri introduced a powerful set of tools designed to help construction and industrial distributors deliver materials faster, manage routes with more confidence, and reduce slowdowns across every branch. Whether teams support multiple warehouses, deliver to busy jobsites, or manage an internal fleet, these updates were built around one goal: keeping materials moving with fewer delays and less manual effort for every community.

Below is a breakdown of the most impactful features Curri released in 2025.

1. LTL arrives at Curri

More shipment options for palletized freight and oversized materials.

2025 marked the launch of Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) shipping. Distributors can now quote palletized freight, classify materials accurately, and manage LTL deliveries alongside Hotshot deliveries—all within the platform.

2. Hotshot booking gets smarter

Why these updates matter for construction and industrial distributors

Every update released in 2025 supports the daily operational challenges distributors face:

  • Keeping construction and industrial supplies flowing to jobsites without delays
  • Reducing booking errors and cutting manual steps
  • Improving visibility across urgent and scheduled deliveries
  • Supporting busy branches during peak demand
  • Simplifying multi-stop daily route planning
  • Managing freight, hotshots, and coverage in one platform

With improvements across LTL, Hotshot, Route Planner, Dedicated, and everyday booking tools, Curri provides a more unified, reliable way to move materials.

Looking ahead

The 2025 updates strengthen the Curri driver app and the platform distributors rely on daily to deliver materials, maintain coverage, and serve customers on time. These enhancements reflect a mission to help distributors deliver faster, plan smarter, and operate with greater confidence.
