Advanced transportation management software provider Alvys on Monday announced the launch of its integrated marketplace, which consolidates multiple load boards directly within its TMS platform. The Alvys Marketplace aims to give carriers greater access to freight opportunities by streamlining operations and eliminating the need to juggle multiple systems.
“As a former logistics company owner, I know how critical it is to book the right freight quickly — but there’s too much data for human dispatchers to sort through,” said Nick Darman, founder and CEO of Alvys. “Alvys’ marketplace feature automatically processes and filters load opportunities from multiple sources, helping dispatchers book the best loads possible.”
The new marketplace aggregates freight from major load boards like DAT Freight & Analytics and directly from freight brokers, representing an estimated $1 trillion worth of available loads. Carriers using the Alvys TMS can now search for loads based on location and equipment type, submit bids, contact brokers or shippers directly, and book loads instantly through the new interface.
By leveraging real-time data on carrier operations already in the Alvys TMS, the marketplace aims to match available freight to specific trucks and routes. For carriers, these recommendations can provide more strategic load planning and help maximize revenue.
“You no longer need to post your truck anywhere because we know where your truck is going to be empty,” Darman told FreightWaves. “We know whether your truck has loads from that location where you’re delivering. We also know how much money your truck needs to be making in order to break even or make a profit.”
For dispatchers, the Marketplace can dramatically reduce the time and stress involved in finding and booking freight. Rather than constantly monitoring multiple load boards and manually calculating profitability, dispatchers can set parameters for desirable loads and let the system do the work.
“The carrier or the dispatcher doesn’t have more capacity than two or three windows at the same time. They don’t have the appetite to go on 10 different load boards or 20 different load boards. They just want everything in one dashboard,” said Darman.
Mariana Garstea, operations manager at Universe Carrier, praised the new feature: “It allows our dispatchers to be more efficient and have everything in one system,” Garstea said.
The marketplace launch represents a significant milestone for Alvys, which has positioned itself as a comprehensive solution for midsize carriers and brokers since its founding in 2020. By bringing freight opportunities directly into its platform, Alvys is closing the loop on its vision of an end-to-end system for managing logistics operations.
