Upply is based on over a billion real data items from invoiced transport flows, anonymized and continuously updated.

This data is modeled by machine learning algorithms, which calculate a median price for each line (origin, destination, type of goods, weight, distance, etc.) and assess its dispersion on the market. Prices are adjusted daily to reflect actual market conditions.

Upply data comes from actual and invoiced transport flows, shared by a network of over 4,000 partners, carriers and shippers. They are anonymized, standardized and continuously updated, guaranteeing a reliable, representative and up-to-date view of the transport market.
