K&L Deliveries Marking 30 Years of Growth with Eureka MoveIT TMS

For nearly four decades, K&L Deliveries has been a trusted name in Irish road transport, courier services and warehousing. From two vehicles in 1986 to a 39-vehicle fleet operating nationwide and across 28 countries, the company’s growth has been underpinned by one constant: a powerful, scalable Transport Management System (TMS) from Eureka.

For transport operators across Ireland searching for reliable TMS software, K&L’s story highlights what the right transport system can achieve.

About K&L Deliveries – A Leading Irish Transport Operator

Based in Millstreet, Co. Cork, K&L Deliveries Ltd. was established in January 1986 and is owned and managed by Gordon and Breeda O’Keeffe. Today, the company employs 56 staff and serves more than 1,800 active customers across Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Dublin and nationwide.

Operating from a modern 60,000 sq. ft. warehouse and office facility, K&L provides:

• Groupage transport services with daily preset routes
• Direct dedicated vehicle and driver solutions
• Long-term contract hire
• Warehousing and stock management

As a member of the Irish Road Haulage Association, K&L Deliveries maintains high industry standards while continuously investing in digital transport technology.

Why K&L Deliveries Chose a Transport Management System

Before implementing Eureka’s Transport Management System, MoveIT, K&L were operating with slower legacy software that restricted growth.

“Before Eureka, we were using a system from Dublin, but it was far too slow. It restricted our development. Before moving to Eureka, we couldn’t grow the business the way we wanted,” explains Managing Director, Gordon O’Keeffe.

For Irish hauliers, this challenge is common. Outdated transport systems create bottlenecks in planning, POD management, invoicing and customer communication.

By switching to Eureka’s MoveIT TMS software, K&L removed those limitations.

“Eureka has grown with our needs. As we expanded our fleet and warehouse, the system expanded with us.”

Saving Time with an Easy-to-Use TMS Software Platform

Ease of use is critical in a busy transport planning office. K&L found that the Excel-based familiarity of Eureka’s Transport Management System made adoption straightforward.

“It’s a very easy system to use. It’s practical and simple for the whole team, meaning everyone can concentrate on what they need to, to get their work completed on time.”

For Irish road transport operators, usability directly impacts productivity. With Eureka’s TMS software, K&L has:

• Reduced manual administration
• Automated job entry and customer records
• Digitised proof of delivery (POD) management
• Improved office efficiency

Customers can log into the transport system to book jobs and access PODs instantly.

“Our customers log into our system to book jobs and view PODs for completed deliveries. That visibility makes a big difference.”

This level of customer portal access is increasingly essential for competitive transport businesses in Ireland.

Real-Time Delivery Tracking with DispatchIT

Through DispatchIT, K&L Deliveries provides real-time updates on delivery status.

DispatchIT, Eureka’s driver app, facilitates seamless communication between office staff using the TMS, and driver’s mobile devices. Through the app, office staff can send job details and information direct to drivers, and drivers are able to update office staff throughout the delivery, from start to finish.

“With DispatchIT, our customers can see in real time when goods are delivered. It improves trust and reduces phone calls into the office,” Gordon explains.

For Irish hauliers, real-time tracking within a Transport Management System helps:

• Reduce inbound customer queries
• Improve service levels
• Strengthen customer relationships
• Increase operational transparency

Drivers benefit too, with less paperwork and clearer communication from the transport office.

The DispatchIT app enables drivers to capture electronic proof of delivery (ePOD) instantly upon job completion, eliminating the need for paper PODs and removing delays caused by manual document handling – helping Irish transport operators move away from slow, outdated processes and towards a fully digital TMS workflow.

Integrated Fleet Maintenance with MaintainIT

Fleet compliance and vehicle uptime are essential in the Irish road transport sector. K&L uses MaintainIT, fully integrated with their TMS software.

“We now have a full maintenance system that ties vehicles, drivers and jobs together. We get a complete picture of everything.”

MaintainIT, is Eureka’s integrated fleet and garage maintenance software, designed specifically for road transport operators who need full visibility and control over vehicle compliance, servicing and workshop activity.

Fully connected to the Eureka Transport Management System (TMS), MaintainIT enables operators to schedule preventative maintenance by date or mileage, manage defects raised through driver walkaround checks, create job cards, track parts inventory and monitor maintenance costs – all within one system.

By linking fleet maintenance to operational data within one transport system, K&L can:

• Schedule preventative maintenance
• Reduce vehicle downtime
• Improve compliance management
• Maintain full operational visibility

For transport operators managing growing fleets, integration between TMS software and maintenance systems is a major efficiency gain.

Digital Compliance with Total Check

K&L also uses the Total Check Driver Walk Around App, ensuring digital vehicle inspections are completed before vehicles hit the road.

This enhances:

• Driver compliance
• Road safety
• Instant defect reporting
• Reduced paper-based administration

For Irish haulage companies, digital walkaround checks are increasingly becoming best practice – particularly when integrated directly into a wider Transport Management System.

Supporting Pallet Network Operations

K&L Deliveries manages their Pallet Network freight operations using MoveIT within their TMS environment, streamlining pallet network processes and improving visibility across consignments.

“Through the MoveIT TMS, managing our Pallet Xpress work is made so much simpler.”

“Not only is the system easy to use, but the integration between the TMS and the network is seamless, giving us peace of mind that we are managing the work in the most efficient way possible.”

For pallet carriers in Ireland, a scalable transport system is critical to managing high volumes while maintaining service standards.

Supporting a Vision to Be Ireland’s Best Carrier

K&L Deliveries’ ambition is clear:

“Our vision is to be recognised as the best carrier of palletised freight and parcel consignments in Ireland.”

Their investment in a robust Transport Management System has enabled:

• Scalable business growth
• Improved customer service
• Reduced admin overhead
• Stronger fleet management
• Enhanced operational visibility

“The simplicity of MoveIT, and the working relationship we have with the Eureka team makes a huge difference.”

Would K&L Recommend This TMS Software?

After 30 years using Eureka’s Transport Management System, the answer is clear from Gordon.

“We’ve been using Eureka for 30 years. It has grown with us and supported our development every step of the way. For any transport business in Ireland looking at a TMS solution, we would absolutely recommend it.”
