Local courier alternatives: How Curri compares

Organizing vendor deliveries for your construction project can be a hassle, whether you’re undergoing a simple home renovation or managing a skyscraper megaproject. The demand for new construction is on the rise, which is great for the industry but it also means most companies need a way to streamline courier services to keep up.

Here’s how Curri compares to outdated conventional delivery services, and why it’s time to switch. 

What is Curri? 

Curri is an end-to-end software platform that allows businesses to run their supply chain more efficiently and effectively. The software helps contractors and companies unify vendor deliveries, give visibility to all stakeholders, and grow your sales while cutting waste. 

Denver, Aurora, San Francisco, Miami, it doesn’t matter. Curri users get access to a robust digital fleet that operates nationwide. Users can also choose their vehicle size and delivery type for eco-friendly efficiency. 

What does Curri offer that conventional couriers don’t? 

1. They have a comprehensive logistics platform

Curri’s logistics platform redefines construction delivery management. There are three core functionalities that draw users to make construction supply planning digital. 

• Intelligent matching: Curri sources the most optimal provider for your delivery requirements. The quality, speed, and price are taken into account when planning and confirming your delivery every time.
• Exceptions management: If delays, site conditions, and changes in inventory stall your project, Curri covers the management side to help you reroute your plans and stay on budget. 
• Single vendor: Curri streamlines your supply chain management, improves communication, and saves you money by helping you consolidate deliveries with a single vendor.

Traditional courier services operate by email or phone, and you’re left in the dark about status updates, delay notifications, and any inventory issues. 

2. Curri integrates with other construction software systems

As construction companies slowly go digital for project management and accounting processes, the digital tools often remain siloed. That’s where integrations come in. 

If you could instead integrate your courier management with your project management or BIM software, you could save time, simplify planning, and never miss critical updates. Curri integrates with dozens of tools, including Okta, Shopify, Azure, Netsuite, Monday.com, FedEx, and UPS. 

3. Hotshot and flexible delivery options

With many conventional courier services, the delivery is on their terms. They’ll get there when they get there. But Curri puts the power back in your hands. 

Curri supports flexible scheduling via three priority tiers: Scheduled, Rush, and Same Day (hotshot) delivery. They give you a choice based on speed and cost, so you can make better decisions about how to manage your project. 

4. They offer national fleet coverage

Often, businesses are limited to the local delivery availability in your city. There’s one possible route, and that’s what you need to take. 

Curri, on the other hand, offers advanced route planning on a nationwide delivery network that includes everything from box trucks to flatbeds. They can deploy the most appropriate vehicle from states away, and they run 24/7, so last-minute material drops or ordering changes are never a problem. 

5. They help businesses cut supply chain costs 

Maintaining your own transportation fleet can get pricey quickly. But with Curri’s access to the nationwide gig-based network, clients are only billed for what they use. Conventional delivery services lack on-demand flexibility, and become difficult to scale when more projects and vendors are added to the schedule. 

Clients reduce idle costs with Curri, especially as a renovation or construction business grows. 

Curri’s mission

Curri’s mission is simple: To be the way the world delivers construction and industrial supplies. 

Curri was founded in 2018, when cofounders Matt and Brian realized vendor delivery for businesses in the trades was overpriced and overly complex. Trades companies were wasting time and using gas-guzzling work trucks to deliver construction materials that could be better left to a dedicated courier. 

The more trades companies Matt and Brian spoke to, the more they realized that this money and time-wasting pain point was affecting every sector in the industry. Curri was created and has quickly become a trusted service for companies, small and large, all around the US. 

Curry doesn’t just serve the construction industry .They also often work with businesses in: 

• Oil & Gas
• Agriculture
• Sewage & Septic
• Irrigation
• Landscaping
• Roofing
• Lumber
• Kitchen & Bath
• Home Improvement

• Vehicle Transport 
• Medical Supplies
• Building Materials
• Electrical

And more! Curri specializes in packing, transporting, and delivering supplies that range from delicate to heavy and bulky. It’s a more flexible way to get expert service.
