Upply Contract Management
Levallois-Perret, France
What it is
Upply Contract Management centralizes transport rate cards and applies negotiated carrier conditions when shipments are assigned. Users can import cards with origins, destinations, validity periods, freight types, and pricing terms into one repository. Supported pricing structures include per-kilometre, zone-based, pallet, and shipment rates, as well as other carrier-negotiated models. Teams can configure included, fixed, or indexed fuel surcharges and custom surcharges; these are applied during shipment assignment and remain editable. When rate cards match, the corresponding carriers are prioritized, and selecting one applies its negotiated rates and relevant surcharges. The service supports contract management and accessorial rules, but not rate comparison or carrier bid management. Upply describes an API-first architecture for connections to TMS, WMS, ERP, and CRM systems. It says Contract Management data is hosted in France, with encryption in transit and at rest, secure backups, restricted access, and deletion policies. Carriers and freight forwarders can register free; shipper pricing is an annual subscription based on shipment volume.

The verdict
Upply focuses on storing negotiated transport terms and applying them during shipment assignment. Shippers should note the shipment-volume-based annual subscription and the lack of rate comparison and bid management.
Who it suits
