Alvys

Cloud transportation management system built for carriers and brokers that run both sides of the business

As of 31 August 2026, Alvys's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. Alvys is a newer cloud TMS aimed at trucking companies that broker freight as well as haul it, a mix that older systems handle by making you buy two products. Softwr lists it under Logistics. Alvys is available on Web, iOS, Android, API.

Overview

What Alvys does

Alvys is a transportation management system delivered as a hosted web application, founded in 2020 and based in Nashville. It covers load entry, dispatch, driver assignment, document capture, invoicing and carrier settlements, with a driver mobile application for status updates and paperwork. It is sold to asset based carriers, freight brokers, and the growing number of companies that operate as both. The distinguishing point is that dual operation is the design assumption rather than an add on module. In the established systems a carrier that also brokers overflow freight either buys a second product or works around a data model built for owned trucks, which is why so many mid size trucking companies run two systems and reconcile between them. Alvys treats an owned truck and a purchased carrier as two ways of covering the same load, so the load record, the customer invoice and the profitability view do not split. Commercially that is worth real money to a company with fifty trucks and a brokerage desk, because it removes a reconciliation job and gives one margin number per load. Buyers are typically carriers and brokers in the twenty to three hundred truck range that have outgrown spreadsheets or a very basic system and cannot justify an enterprise implementation. The trade off is maturity. A system founded in 2020 has a shorter integration catalogue, fewer third party consultants who know it, and less coverage of the awkward cases such as multi currency cross border settlements, intermodal drayage accessorials and complex driver pay schemes that the older vendors accumulated over decades.

What people use it for

  • A carrier with its own trucks that also brokers overflow freight and is tired of reconciling two systems
  • A growing brokerage that wants a hosted system without an on premises database server and a DBA
  • A trucking company that needs drivers to submit paperwork from the cab instead of at the terminal on Friday
  • A fleet replacing spreadsheets for settlements and wanting per load margin without a month end exercise

The honest half

Where it falls short

Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Alvys.

  • The company was founded in 2020, so the integration catalogue is short compared with systems that have spent thirty years accumulating EDI trading partner maps, and a customer with an unusual shipper connection may be funding that build.
  • There is effectively no independent consultant market, so implementation, data migration and configuration expertise all come from the vendor, which is a single point of dependency during a cutover.
  • Accounting depth is limited and most customers still run a general ledger in QuickBooks or similar, so the TMS is a subledger rather than the finance system.
  • Complex driver pay schemes, cross border currency handling and heavy accessorial structures in drayage are areas where the older systems are more complete and where workarounds are still common.
  • Pricing is not published, so a buyer cannot size the cost before entering a sales process, and per user pricing on a dispatch team with part time night staff can be an unpleasant surprise.

Questions people ask

Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.

Yes, and also for one that only hauls. The point is that it does not force a choice.

Is it hosted or on premises?

Hosted only. There is no on premises deployment option.

Does it replace my accounting system?

No. It handles settlements and invoicing and pushes to an accounting package.

Is pricing published?

No. Expect a quote based on users and volume.
