Upply is a tool that simplifies and facilitates the Supply Chain. Anyone can use it to communicate however they want and whenever they want. Upply’s goal is simple: to bring transparency and flexibility to the Supply Chain, thereby redefining its core aspects.

Upply is for any company offering goods transport services, or who has transport needs. Upply is perfect for carriers (transport, delivery, and logistics companies), loaders, but also commissioners of transport, consulting firms, or any other players interested in the Supply Chain industry, like students. As a dedicated operational partner, Upply provides transparent information and cutting-edge tools to help players managing their Supply Chain, and make informed decisions.

Any professional looking for goods transport capacities can become a client of Upply. Each company is verified by Upply to ensure the marketplace is only used by reliable professional shippers.

Any professional offering goods transport capacities can become a client of Upply. Each company is verified by Upply to certify its identity, its registration with the registry of shippers, and its professional ability.

Upply applies a 2.5% fee to both the buyer (sender) and the seller (carrier). This fee is indicated when the order is placed and on the invoice: from one side, the fee is added to the price of transport for the buyer, and the other the fee is subtracted from the sum paid by Upply to the carrier after delivering the transport service.

The benchmarking service analyzes 60 million prices and places your price on the market’s price range in real time. There are 3 modes of transport: road (Europe and the US), air, and maritime shipping worldwide. It is updated weekly.

The algorithms are based on the analysis of a database containing over 60 million data points, updated continuously (use of the platform and verified partners). They anonymize, encrypt, guard, and integrate the different data sources in real time: the more the platform is used, the more reliable and precise the results will be.

Upply has 2 data sources: the data entered by our users through the “compare prices” tool, and data shared by our partners – senders, carriers, and commissioners –. All the data is anonymized, encrypted, and guarded before being aggregated to model the market.

Unregistered users can access 10 requests on the Upply platform. To get unlimited requests, register for free on our website.

“Compare a budget” (SmartScan) reports can be downloaded as PDFs. But stay tuned, because new formats will be available soon!

You’ll get your SmartScan report in just a few minutes. It can be even quicker (less than 30 seconds, you won’t even have time to grab a coffee!). The standard Upply model is available directly in the “compare a budget” section.

The volumes are set depending on the bundle the company chooses, and may not be divided among users. The total use of the quota is therefore aggregated among all users.

The price displayed on an offer corresponds to the price offered by the carrier plus the Upply fee. Additionally, the loader may select additional services during the order, the price of which will be added to the total amount of the service.

Offer and demand matching is done according to 5 criterion: origin, destination, weight, height, and date.

As of today, you can only ship “general cargo”. Other types of goods (hazardous material, refrigerated goods, etc.) will be added soon.

As of today, only road transport for freight within France is available. Upply is looking to expand progressively to this mode of transport in other countries, and to other modes of transport.

Today, the GT&Cs signed by the buyer and the seller are the ones set by Upply (default transport regulation). They can be replaced/supplemented with the carrier’s GT&Cs in a future version.

Upply offers an instant messaging service. It allows a buyer to exchange with a seller before the order and continue to do so while the operation is underway (if there is an order confirmation between the two parties).

In case you have not found a carrier, your request expires the day after the date of removal.

Upply is a digital platform that constantly registers new requests and new offers. You will be informed by email as soon as an offer meets the specifications of your request. Feel free to reach out to our customer service if you can’t find an offer when your request reaches its term.

Upply’s marketplace is committed to presenting you all the offers that meet your needs. The buyer is free to choose the offer that appeals the most to him/her after chatting with the different sellers.

Once the proof of delivery (CMR or consignment note) is downloaded by the carrier and verified by our teams, Upply generates two invoices and sends them to the buyer: one proving the transport service was executed (issued on behalf of the carrier), and a second one outlining Upply’s commission of 2.5%. Payment should be made within 30 days of the delivery date.

According to Upply's general terms and conditions, if a carrier does not show up, he risks having to compensate the buyer. Our customer service can walk you through compensation options.

The buyer as the seller may use the instant messaging feature on each order. He thus dialogues with the seller throughout the order and until the execution of the transport.

When the seller selects this option, he commits to immediately accepting the request of a buyer for his offer. This feature lets the buyer be certain that he will obtain the service he is looking for.

As of today, you can only offer France-France road transport. Upply will progressively extend the geographic reach of its marketplace services.

Upply always discloses the information in an effort to be neutral and fair. This is why the seller undertakes to provide all of his offer’s details to find available loads. He therefore must first post his offer before finding available loads that meet the specifications of his offer.

When the offer matches with several requests, the seller may pick the one he prefers among the different buyers (“standard reservation”). He may not choose a request for which the buyer has not yet formulated a “standard reservation”. However, he may reach out this buyer via the Upply messaging feature.

As soon as the proof of delivery is verified by the Upply team, we’ll automatically send you the invoices. First, the buyer received 2 invoices, one for the transport service, one for the Upply commission. Simultaneously, and for information purposes, the seller receives an invoice for the transport service (the same one the buyer receives). Then, when the buyer’s payment is received, the seller receives a new invoice with the details of the amount he just received (the amount is equal to the price of the transport service minus the Upply fee). Each party may access his invoices in his online account.
