Curri’s top features of 2025: Smarter delivery tools and streamlined workflows

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.
