Why HVAC suppliers rely on Curri dedicated routes

Larry Bernstein

September 19, 2023

For business owners and homeowners, every repair has a level of urgency. Yet, HVAC repairs are particularly urgent since a summer day without air conditioning or a winter day without heat can be unbearable. With the weather so volatile, HVAC services are even more crucial. Because of the urgency often associated with HVAC repairs, suppliers need to carefully manage the logistics related to material delivery. With dedicated pick-up and drop-off routes, HVAC suppliers can satisfy their customers and help them keep their clients happy.

Curri offers dedicated routes, so HVAC suppliers have a flexible, affordable delivery solution that improves operations and allows them to meet customer demand.

Efficiency and affordability

When HVAC issues arise, homeowners/business owners expect repair people to handle it quickly. The only way a repair person can meet customer expectations is for suppliers to get materials to them ASAP. Therefore, HVAC suppliers need to have their fleet (and a driver) ready to go at a moment’s notice. The logistics related to this are challenging since the level of demand is inconsistent – making it costly.

Curri can help HVAC suppliers be more efficient and keep up with the need for quick delivery at a reasonable rate. The Curri delivery team is fast, integrates seamlessly with HVAC operations, and reduces the cost of maintaining a fleet and hiring drivers. Plus, there are no signup fees or monthly service charges, and HVAC suppliers only pay for the deliveries they book.

Flexibility and expansion

Having a vehicle and driver always ready for a delivery or pick-up is expensive as it requires a bloated fleet and staff of drivers. The question HVAC suppliers have to ask is, “How many deliveries will we make today?” While they could track past sales/deliveries, apply analytics, and make an educated guess, they can never be sure. If you guess incorrectly and a customer does not receive their materials promptly, they may decide to go to a competitor.

When you partner with Curri, your fleet can expand as needed. Curri is a great for small businesses in need a flexible solution for delivery operations. We also can help expanding businesses that want to grow their market without overburdening their delivery operations.

Multi-stop + pick-up + drop-off routes

Curri has a variety of routes and services available for HVAC suppliers. Plus, we can tailor our offerings to meet your needs.

Our services include multi-stop routes, which is helpful on busy days or when a driver becomes unavailable. Other times this could be of great use is busy season and when drivers are on vacation? Curri offers all-day dedicated routes on any of our vehicle types for a flat fee. So, you can count on the availability of the delivery service and be clear about costs. Note, drivers are available for both pick-up and drop-off of HVAC materials.

Same-day hotshots

Ever had one of those days where every call requires a delivery? As an HVAC supplier, you want to be able to provide timely delivery service to everyone. But sometimes, it seems impossible.

When you partner with Curri, you have easy access to our network of vehicles, so you can always service your customers. A hotshot delivery, a one-off delivery, can be ordered by pushing a button. All you need to do is enter your location, choose a vehicle, and share information about the delivery. A driver with the appropriately sized vehicle will quickly respond and deliver (or pick up) HVAC supplies.

Powerful (yet simple) logistics

As an HVAC supplier, you know customers often feel a sense of urgency regarding equipment/supplies. Therefore, it’s urgent to get the logistics related to delivery correct. Otherwise, customers will be frustrated.

Curri can manage the logistics and ensure delivery service happens as customers would like. With our extensive experience, large crew of drivers, fleet of vehicles of all different sizes, and advanced systems, we understand how to make delivery and pick-up logistics work. You can easily request the vehicle type, the time needed, and the necessary service (scheduled route, multi-stop, hotshot, etc.). Curri’s top-notch logistics system can quickly match your needs with an available driver/vehicle, so you’ll never miss a delivery.

Overcome staffing problems

Delivery companies across the country recognize there’s a shortage of drivers. Finding enough qualified drivers is a challenge. And back-up drivers? Forget about it. Again, even if your HVAC supplier business has sufficient staffing, there are days when demand is greater than expected. What happens then?

Curri helps you put the headaches related to delivery staff aside. When you work with us, we can pick up the slack, so you always have enough staff. We have hundreds of drivers across the country and vehicles of all types. Tap into our network and say goodbye to staffing problems.

Customers love it

Your customers want their HVAC supplies delivered quickly. When you provide consistently speedy service (pick-up or delivery), customers count on you and are appreciative.

Curri’s trained drivers are well-trained and courteous. They photograph the delivery as proof of service and keep the recipient of the supplies informed regarding arrival time. So, your customers know when the delivery will be made. This white-glove service will leave your customers thrilled.
