Outsourcing Delivery, Increasing Profits With Matt Lafferty Of Curri

Outsourcing Delivery, Increasing Profits With Matt Lafferty Of Curri

Author: Jason Bader, Distribution Team September 7, 2022 Duration: 37:17

On-demand local delivery isn't just for burgers or beer. Matt Lafferty turned a remodeling project a-ha! moment into Curri, a nationwide all-in-one logistics platform best described as the Uber of construction supplies. Jason chats with Curri's energetic co-founder and CEO about the company's serendipitous start, impressive growth, and cost-effective delivery solutions for building materials distributors. 

Curri is a network of on-demand delivery drivers with appropriate vehicles (think: lift gates, flatbeds, bobtails) that could pick up and deliver materials wherever, whenever needed. Today, Curri operates in 49 states, making a delivery every 10 seconds. Each shipment comes with the same tech-driven features that the biggest names in e-commerce rely on, like live tracking and digital proof of delivery.

Matt's vision has proven so effective that many distributors have replaced in-house delivery fleets with Curri's on-demand platform, saving hefty operating costs. "We have a lot of distributors that are literally selling off their trucks and just using Curri because they're making more sales. They're not taking on the risk and the insurance for moving supplies and materials."
