13 Firms sign non-disclosure agreement with Govt to access ULIP Data

13 firms have signed a non-disclosure agreement with the government to access data from the Unified Logistics Interface Platform (ULIP). “Till date, 13 organisations – MapMyIndia, CargoExchange, Freight Fox, Conmove, Intugine, Eikonatech, Yes Bank, Superprocure, CargoShakti, CloudStrats, Shyplite, APSEZL, and AITWA have signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to access data on ULIP.”

The policy aims to bring ease of doing business in the logistics sector by simplifying the logistics processes, improving its efficiency, bringing in transparency and visibility, and reducing logistics cost and time. The commerce and industry ministry said that 11 more organisations like Instavans and Trucks, Bosch India, Portlinks and Shiprocket are in the process of signing the agreement.

The ULIP platform will enable the industry players to get secure access to information related to logistics and resources available with various ministries. At present, 30 systems from seven ministries are integrated through more than 100 APIs covering more than 1,600 data fields for usage by the stakeholders.

ULIP has a dedicated portal that makes the process of data requests simpler, faster, and transparent. After the registration, users need to submit their use cases, which will then be reviewed based on the proposed usage of the requested data and after the successful review, users requesting data will have to sign an NDA.
