Last-mile solutions specialist Stuart has announced a new partnership with TradeKart, an innovative on-demand delivery platform designed to support tradespeople.
With one in five tradespeople having experienced delays in sourcing materials, leading to a loss of work, the ability to quickly access tools and materials is crucial to small business growth. Integrating Stuart’s delivery solutions with TradeKart’s platform will streamline the process for tradespeople, ensuring that they have fast and reliable access to the resources they need to work efficiently and run their businesses smoothly.
Through this partnership, Stuart will power TradeKart’s last-mile delivery operations, helping to enhance their service offering to trade merchants. As the demand for same-day and rapid delivery continues to rise in the DIY and hardware sector, this collaboration will strengthen the operations for small businesses. It will enable them to meet the ever-evolving customer expectations in urban areas for quick, reliable and sustainable delivery service.
“For tradespeople and their customers, waiting for essential tools or materials to arrive is a slow and frustrating process – and one that can grind entire projects to a halt. In today’s society, we can order nearly anything to our doors within a day, so it seems only natural that this should be extended to essential building supplies. We are thrilled to be partnering with TradeKart to redefine last-mile delivery in the trade sector, lending our expertise to support tradespeople and small businesses in urban areas across the UK,” says Cornelia Raportaru, CEO of Stuart.
Alistair McAuley, CEO of TradeKart added: “Over 300 million hours a year are lost by tradespeople collecting materials. Our vision at TradeKart is to offer tradespeople across the UK the products and services they need, wherever and whenever they need them, all from the palm of their hand. This exciting new partnership with Stuart gives us even greater ability to service our customers more efficiently and reliably, meaning they can focus on what they do best rather than waste all that valuable time.”
