Beck Group, a UK supplier of protection materials for construction, has partnered with Alrik to automate its transport operations; marking Alrik’s entry into the UK market.

Operating nationwide with hundreds of orders moving every day, Beck Group has built a flexible network of courier partners to serve builders merchants and contractors across the UK. The model worked but came at a cost.

Behind every delivery sat a manual operation: coordinators making real-time decisions based on experience, data locked in disconnected systems and no single view of what deliveries were costing or how they were performing. As order volumes grew so did the administrative burden and the risk of falling short on customer promises.

Beck Group turned to Alrik to transform how transport is managed. With Alrik, the entire delivery operation is orchestrated from a single platform: transport decisions are automated, data flows seamlessly between ERP, and transport, and the team has real-time visibility and control across deliveries.

The result is a delivery operation that is scalable, data-driven and no longer dependent on manual decision-making.
“Moving to AI-powered automation will enable faster, more consistent deliveries, improved accuracy, and greater transparency for our customers. Exactly the step we need to keep raising service standards,” says Lyndon Dupont Innovation and Sustainability Director at Beck Group.

For Beck Group this means:

  • Operational efficiency: manual admin replaced by streamlined and AI powered processes
  • Cost insight: real cost per delivery to optimise spend across the network
  • Customer promise kept: consistent on-time deliveries
  • Courier control: visibility and management of transport partners in one place

For Alrik, the partnership marks a key milestone: Beck Group becomes the company’s first customer in the UK.

"Beck Group, a supplier with deep heritage and bold ambition, is exactly the type of partner we built Alrik for. The UK construction supply chain is ready for smarter delivery operations, and Beck Group's decision to lead that charge says everything about who they are. We couldn't have asked for a better first partner in the UK," says Nici Sundén-Cullberg, Founder and CEO of Alrik.

The partnership brings Beck Group into Alrik’s growing community of suppliers, merchants, and tool and plant hire companies using transport intelligence to run better delivery operations.
