We started with one mission: fix cross-border e-commerce for Latin America.
The current model is broken. Expensive, opaque, and built for everyone except the Latin American consumer.
The Opportunity
Only 14% of LATAM shoppers buy cross-border. 86% is still untapped.

Our Vision
One platform to automate cross-border commerce.
Upper is building the holistic infrastructure Latin American cross-border commerce never had — unifying freight, AI-powered customs and smart last-mile into a single, fully automated platform. No handoffs. No black boxes. AI at every layer.

Every SKU classified automatically. Duties calculated in seconds. Compliant declarations generated without human input.
End-to-end freight
Dedicated air routes from Miami and Madrid directly to Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and the Dominican Republic.
Smart last-mile network
High-density locker infrastructure and door delivery across LATAM — fully owned, no third-party handoffs.
Fully automated flow
From checkout to doorstep, every step is connected. One platform, one data layer, zero manual touchpoints.
