How Forvia improves the reliability of its transport pricing using market data

Forvia is a major industrial player with an international presence, operating across several segments, particularly in the automotive sector. In a constantly evolving environment, controlling transport costs and understanding market dynamics have become strategic priorities for its supply chain teams.

Forvia’s transport teams must continuously set prices for new routes, monitor market developments, and ensure the competitiveness of their partners—all while maintaining a high level of service.

Key challenges: improving reliability and market visibility

Before Upply, estimating prices for new transport routes relied on lengthy and largely manual processes.

Each new route required specific research, comparisons, and analysis, consuming significant time for the teams. This approach made it difficult to gain a global view of the market and slowed down decision-making.

For Forvia, several key challenges quickly emerged:

• Speeding up price estimation for new routes
• Gaining access to a reliable and up-to-date view of the transport market
• Expanding analysis beyond the automotive sector
• Strengthening the relevance of benchmarks in a multi-sector environment

The solution: a clear and fast market view with Upply

With Upply, Forvia’s teams have gained greater clarity and reliability in their transport market analysis.

The tool enables them to quickly analyze a large number of routes using SmartScan, which facilitates bulk uploads and significantly accelerates processing.

Freight indices provide a dynamic view of price evolution by destination, while methodological sections and the confidence index help contextualize the data and enhance its interpretation.

As a result, teams benefit from information that is fast, structured, and reliable to support their decision-making.

Results: more clarity, more confidence

The value delivered by Upply is not only measured in immediate financial gains, but above all in the quality of analysis and transparency.

Thanks to benchmarks and market insights:

• Teams gain a better understanding of market price levels
• They can more accurately assess the performance of their carriers
• They observe that many of their partners are aligned with the market

These analyses have helped better understand the positioning of their carriers and confirm that many are aligned with market levels

With Upply, Forvia has gained visibility and maturity in its transport management. Teams now have clearer insights to support and guide their decision-making.
