Transportial vs Alvys
Alvys, founded in 2020 in Solana Beach, California, is a cloud TMS for carriers and brokers that raised a US$40M Series B in 2025. It offers a broad carrier feature set (dispatch, fleet and maintenance, IFTA, settlements, EDI) with a long list of ELD and accounting integrations, and quotes its plans by load volume with no per-user fees. Transportial differs in its built-in route optimization, per-transaction pricing published on the website, and its customer-facing automations.

Why teams switch from Alvys
Plan board with built-in optimization
Dispatchers plan on a drag-and-drop plan board, and Transportial’s VRP solver assigns shipments to trucks by capacity, time windows and vehicle type in seconds, then lets the planner adjust.
Pay per transaction, start free
Transportial charges per transaction with volume discounts instead of per seat, and the Starter tier is free up to 20 shipments a month. Prices are published on the website, in US dollars.
Automations and customer tracking
Event-driven message automations send status updates and alerts to customers, and each shipment gets a secure tracking link that works without a login, cutting "where is my truck?" calls.
