What is Alvys?

Alvys is a cloud-native Transportation Management System (TMS) built by trucking and logistics industry veterans for asset-based carriers, freight brokers, and hybrid carrier-broker operations. Alvys consolidates load management, dispatch, driver management, compliance, accounting, and operational analytics within a unified platform to eliminate the need for disjointed point solutions. Headquartered in Solana Beach, California, the platform is, according to the vendor, utilized by over 3,000 trucking companies.

Key Features

  • Load Management and Dispatch: Automatically creates loads from rate confirmations, tenders, and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) feeds, allowing dispatchers to plan, assign, and track freight from a single interface.
  • Native EDI Connectivity: Includes built-in EDI with automated data synchronization, eliminating per-transaction fees and third-party EDI provider costs.
  • Accounting and Payments: Features automated invoicing, billing, driver settlements, eCheck processing, and International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) reporting.
  • Driver Mobile Application: Enables drivers to review load details and scan or upload transport documentation, including Proof of Delivery (POD) and Bill of Lading (BOL) files, directly from mobile devices.
  • Compliance and Safety: Tracks drivers, trucks, trailers, carrier records, and vehicle maintenance, incorporating fraud protection tools for carrier screening.
  • Reporting and Analytics: Provides operational and financial dashboards, alongside a public Application Programming Interface (API) for custom report generation.
  • AI and Workflow Automation: Utilizes Alvys Intelligence and the Alvys Foundry agentic platform to automate repetitive back-office and dispatch workflows.
  • Integrations: Includes pre-built connectors for over 100 third-party applications, including Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs), load boards, factoring services, and enterprise accounting systems.
