Beck Group Brings AI Automation to Construction Supply Deliveries

Beck Group, a leading UK supplier of protection materials for construction, has partnered with Alrik to automate its transport operations and eliminate the manual processes holding back growth – marking Alrik’s entry into the UK market. 

Operating nationwide with hundreds of orders moving every day, Beck Group serves builders' merchants and contractors across the UK. Behind every delivery sat a manual operation and 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 will be orchestrated from a single platform: transport decisions automated, one connected workflow, and the team will have 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:

• Better operational efficiency with automated decision-making
• Improved customer service and transparency
• Full visibility of transport operations and performance 

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.
