Curri wins Gartner’s Best Ease of Use 2026 badge for intuitive AI route planner

JANUARY 2026— Delivery logistics solution Curri wins Gartner’s “Best Ease of Use 2026” badge for its Route Planner feature. The product offers multiple ways to optimize deliveries, from simple drag-and-drop to intuitive AI. Curri serves many industries slow to adopt new technologies, thereby bridging the gap between dispatchers using manual strategies and those with streamlined tech. 

The Gartner badge is a digital award given to outstanding software vendors based on high user ratings, reviews, and satisfaction scores. This data is collected on websites such as GetApp, Capterra, and Software Advice. Because votes are tallied based on reviews, the award reflects real-user experience rather than analyst findings. 

Why users are switching to Curri’s Route Planner

In the industrial, construction, and retail industries, delivery logistics are eating into operational costs. Slow, manual route planning is a significant source of operational time and cost waste for businesses of all sizes. Dispatchers fail to book the most efficient routes at the right times, and most software tools that streamline the process are convoluted to learn. Curri differs in a few ways. With Route Planner, users:

• Send fewer vehicles on the road, easing up the scheduling process
• Save on wear and tear with their internal fleets
• Lower fuel consumption and reach their sustainability goals
• Shrink their internal fleets and labor spend

Route Planner also provides bookers with peripheral data, including live tracking, proof of delivery, and traffic forecasting. The feature works across any industry, as well as any delivery type, including FTL and LTL shipping, and same-day hotshots.

How it works

Curri saves users an average of 25% on operational costs. Here’s how using Route Planner works to make that happen. 

• The drag-and-drop tool: Curri bookers can drag orders from their queue right onto the driver’s route on the map. 
• The lasso tool: Here, bookers can draw a simple looping zone around all designated drop-off points on a map. Then, simply assign the auto-optimized route to a driver.
• The Auto-assign tool: This feature uses advanced logic and AI to automatically build and simplify the most complex routes. It also runs scenarios to minimize the number of vehicles needed, helping users reduce their fleet size and save more money. 

Users aren’t required to use every facet of Route Planner; they only need to choose the planning method that best suits them. No more manual planning. No more bloated fleet. 

Accessibility and scalability: A must for any industry

For those looking to sign up, trying Curri is as simple as creating an account and making your first booking. If a dispatcher knows how to use a rideshare or food delivery app, they’ll already know how to use Curri. 

Scaling is also easier than ever. Internal fleet capacity has a ceiling in terms of hours on the road, delivery turnaround times, and service radius. But with Curri’s Route Planner, users can be matched with the right vehicle and driver, within a nationwide radius, with turnaround times that rival those of the biggest e-commerce giants. 

This frees up teams to invest in broader growth strategies, foster better customer relationships, and use their logistics budget on tools and resources that were previously unavailable. And because there’s virtually no learning curve with Route Planner, users can see these results almost immediately. 

What’s next for Curri

Curri has long been a go-to resource for companies in the industrial, distribution, and construction sectors. But we can expect to see Curri serve broader markets with revamped services in the near future, including retail businesses with same-day van fleets. Because their services are so flexible and accessible, any business with last-mile or complex logistics needs could benefit from using Curri.
