Lamberet, a leading French refrigerated bodywork manufacturer, designs refrigerated vehicles ranging from 1 to 100 m³ at its production site in the Ain region in France. As a European leader in the sector, the company relies on a strategic spare parts service where every shipment must be fast, reliable, and cost-competitive.
For Thomas Kintrup, Spare Parts Manager, the daily objective is clear: "Delivering to our customers on time, at the fairest price — both for the parts and the transport."
The challenges: improving visibilityand reducing delays
Before Upply, Lamberet managed its transport operations through freight brokers, with exchanges primarily by phone and email.
The teams faced several challenges:
- a lack of benchmarks on market transport prices,
- response times that were sometimes too slow to prepare quotations,
- difficulty comparing multiple transport offers.
Lamberet was therefore looking for a solution capable of quickly benchmarking prices, streamlining operations, and securing the competitiveness of its shipments.
The solution: Upply to analyse prices, benchmark offers, and manage shipments
Today, Upply has become a day-to-day tool for the spare parts teams, helping them both building quotations and organising shipments.
1. Transport price analysis
Upply's Benchmark tool allows teams to position each transport offer to the market.
They can thus offer customers a fair, objective, and competitive price.
2. Faster and more reliable quotations
With Upply, teams can quickly identify the most suitable transport offer and integrate an accurate price directly into their customer quotations.
3. Direct booking with Upply Marketplace
Once the parts are ready, shipments are arranged in just a few clicks through carrier partners connected to the Upply Marketplace.
"Thanks to Upply, we've gained visibility over the transport market and the execution of our shipments."
The results: efficiency, transparency, and competitiveness
Since Lamberet implemented Upply:
- 4 out of 5 shipments are now organised through the platform,
- quotations are produced more quickly,
- prices offered are aligned with the market,
- shipment management is smoother and more transparent.
A real operational gain for the teams — and a direct benefit for customers.
“For Lamberet, Upply means objectivity, speed, and competitiveness.”
