Alvys acquires LoadOps customers; Optym keeps LoadAi. Thomas Wasson Alvys is acquiring the LoadOps customer base from Optym as part of a strategic partnership the two companies announced Wednesday. Alvys told FreightWaves that the financial elements of the transaction are private. The arrangement makes Alvys the transportation management system for carriers and brokers that ran LoadOps, Optym's TMS. Optym keeps LoadAi, its load planning and driver assignment platform, and is putting its resources there. Optym has spent more than 25 years applying operations research to freight planning decisions, and LoadAi runs at asset-based carriers across North America. "We built Optym to solve the hardest optimization problems in transportation. This partnership lets us put everything into that mission," said Ravi Ahuja, founder and CEO of Optym. Optym approached Alvys after evaluating several transportation management systems, according to Alvys, and picked on the basis of which vendor could best support the LoadOps install base as those customers scaled. The two companies are migrating LoadOps accounts onto the Alvys TMS one at a time. Consolidation was the main pitch behind migrating the accounts. "We are very grateful to Ravi, Shaman, and the team at Optym for the opportunity to partner with their LoadOps customers and to provide them with a platform to continue to grow and thrive. In Alvys, these companies are getting one platform for dispatch, accounting, compliance, and driver management... for both carriers and brokers. One login, one source of truth. We built it for operations exactly like theirs," said Nick Darman, founder and CEO of Alvys. Alvys and Optym said they are working with each account on transition and setup. Early operations have migrated within days of their first call, according to the companies, with initial users recommending the system to peers. Founded in 2020, Alvys says its platform moves roughly $9 billion in freight a year, with 60,000 carrier drivers on it. The company has raised $77 million in total funding, including a $40 million Series B led by RTP Global in September 2025. Alvys recently released new features to augment its TMS platform. Alvys Foundry, launched Aug. 11, lets carriers and brokers build agents against check calls, invoice and settlement preparation, and track-and-trace exceptions, either from Alvys templates or to order. Both companies said a shared offering for the combined install base will be announced later, and Alvys told FreightWaves there are multiple potential opportunities for the two organizations to partner more deeply.

Alvys launches self-serve onboarding and free trial, opening its TMS to trucking companies of any size. August 27, 2026, 15:45 GMT Freight carriers and brokers can sign up for Alvys TMS online, start a free trial, and move their first load the same day, with no minimum fleet size. For years, the industry made carriers earn their way into good tools by getting big first. We flipped that. You can start on Alvys at any size." - Nick Darman, CEO of Alvys SOLANA BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, August 27, 2026 / EINPresswire.com / - Alvys, the AI-powered transportation management system (TMS) for carriers, brokers, and hybrid operations, today announced self-serve onboarding and a free trial, available to trucking companies of every size for the first time. Until now, running a company on enterprise-grade TMS software meant being big enough for a sales-led rollout. Alvys has removed that barrier. Any trucking company, from a single truck to a national fleet, can now sign up online and start a 14-day free trial without a demo or a sales call. "Trucking companies don't buy software because they want software. They buy it because they want to grow," said Nick Darman, CEO of Alvys. "For years, the industry made carriers earn their way into good tools by getting big first. We flipped that. You can start on Alvys at any size, and the platform grows with you." Signing up takes about 10 minutes. A carrier enters its MC or DOT number and Alvys verifies it with the FMCSA on the spot, filling in company details automatically. The verification step is deliberate: Alvys vets every MC to keep fraud out of the network. From there, the operator verifies their email with Google or Microsoft single sign-on, adds a payment method, and lands on a Getting Started page where they can build their first load the same day. From day one, new customers run dispatch, an AI tool that reads rate confirmations and creates loads in seconds, a driver mobile app with document scanning, same-day invoicing, and settlements on one platform. Alvys has 120 pre-build integrations including Quickbooks, major ELDs, load boards, fuel cards, and more. The results carriers see on Alvys are documented. In a January 2026 survey of 208 Alvys customers, respondents reported getting paid 2 to 5 days faster on average, and 42% doubled their load volume without adding staff. The self-serve motion reflects how Alvys sees its customers: not as small fleets, but as growing ones. Companies that start with one or two trucks run the same platform Alvys' largest fleets use, so there is no system to outgrow and no migration when they scale. The free trial and self-serve signup are available now at alvys.com/free-trial. About Alvys Alvys is the AI-first TMS for carriers, brokers, and hybrid operations.
