Sports nutrition and activewear brand, Bulk, has diversified its carrier network, optimised delivery lead times and scaled its operations across Europe – allowing it to increase orders by +66% in three years – in partnership with Scurri, the delivery management platform.
The brand says it has saved more than £1million across its European delivery network by integrating with a wide range of carriers via Scurri’s platform, which allows Bulk to easily switch providers, optimise rates and enhance its commercial negotiations.
“If you’re locked in to a carrier utilising their API, carriers know it’s difficult for you to switch. But if you’ve got carrier management software like Scurri Connect which enables you to switch quickly, it adds impetus to those tender discussions. We’ve used that to great effect and have achieved six-figure savings across our EU delivery network.”
John Beazley, Logistics Director, Bulk
By diversifying its carrier network, Bulk has reduced delivery lead times by up to 24 hours in the EU. Previously reliant on DHL for all shipments, Bulk now uses a mix of carriers, including DHL Packet, DHL Connect, Evri (France), UPS (Ireland), PostNord (Sweden & Denmark), to cut costs and offer faster delivery options.
Processing over two million orders annually, Bulk leverages Scurri’s Rules Engine to configure and adjust its shipping logic without needing technical support from carriers, enabling it to automate processes and scale efficiently during peak times.
“It’s rewarding to see how our technology has played a key role in driving cost efficiencies, reducing delivery times and enhancing their customer experience,” Rory O’Connor, Founder & CEO of Scurri, commented.
