Curri provides a software-and-services platform for construction and industrial-supply logistics, focusing on middle- and final-mile delivery. It connects businesses with a nationwide network of carriers and offers features like route planning, rate-shopping, dedicated drivers, on-demand fleet access, and exception tracing to manage shipments, scale operations up or down with an elastic fleet, and consolidate invoices into a single bill. The platform can onboard preferred carriers or tap Curri’s network of over 2 million certified providers, enabling customers to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve delivery performance.
