About Alvys

Alvys Inc. provides a cloud-based transportation management system (TMS) designed to digitize and streamline logistics workflows for trucking carriers, freight brokers, and hybrid operations. Founded in 2020 by CEO Nick Darman and CTO Leo Gorodinski, the company is headquartered in Solana Beach, California. The platform serves as a centralized operating system to manage dispatch, load and driver management, fleet management, accounting, safety, and compliance. Alvys targets small to mid-sized trucking companies, a segment it notes has been historically underserved, but also offers an enterprise platform for larger fleets.

The founding of Alvys was driven by Darman's direct experience within the trucking industry. Coming from a family of truck drivers, he started his own asset-based brokerage in 2014 and identified a lack of adequate software solutions. This led him to build a proprietary TMS for his own company, Archerhub, before co-founding Alvys to offer a refined solution to the broader market. Gorodinski brought significant technical expertise to the venture from his previous role as VP of Engineering at Jet.com, where he developed scalable software architecture later acquired by Walmart. The company went to market in 2022 and has since reported significant growth, including a 10x increase in its customer base in 2023.

Alvys' business model is subscription-based, with pricing tiers determined by the number of loads managed per month. The platform is designed as an all-in-one solution, unifying carrier and brokerage operations on a single dashboard to eliminate the need for multiple, fragmented systems. Key features include automated load creation, drag-and-drop dispatching, real-time tracking and tracing, an IFTA tax calculator, and a mobile application for drivers to manage documents and communications. The system integrates with over 120 third-party partners, including electronic logging devices (ELDs), load boards, fuel cards, and accounting software like QuickBooks. By unifying data and automating manual processes, Alvys aims to help clients reduce overhead, increase load volume, and improve overall operational efficiency.
