Alvys is a Solana Beach, California-based logistics software company building a modern, AI-driven transportation management system for the trucking industry. Founded in 2020 by Nick Darman, who was motivated by watching his father struggle with the operational complexity of running a trucking business, Alvys set out to replace the fragmented, legacy software that carriers and brokers still rely on to move freight.
The core problem Alvys addresses is fragmentation. A typical carrier or brokerage juggles separate tools for dispatching, billing, compliance, accounting, and analytics, forcing staff to re-enter data, reconcile across systems, and lose visibility into the business. Alvys consolidates all of these functions into a single integrated TMS, creating one environment where loads can be dispatched, invoiced, tracked, and analyzed without the manual handoffs that drain time and introduce errors.
AI and automation are increasingly central to the platform. Alvys uses automation to eliminate repetitive manual tasks, from data entry to document handling, and reports that users see an average 22% increase in load volume after adopting the system, a direct measure of the operational leverage the platform provides. By combining automation, integrated systems, and AI, Alvys aims to let carriers and brokers do more freight with the same team.
Alvys raised a $40 million Series B led by RTP Global, with participation from Alpha Square Group, Titanium Ventures, Picus Capital, and Bonfire Ventures, bringing total funding to $77 million. Notably, the round closed during a prolonged freight recession, an environment in which efficiency-focused software becomes especially valuable as carriers and brokers fight to protect thin margins. Alvys is positioned as a system-of-record TMS modernized for the AI era, competing against both legacy TMS incumbents and a new wave of point-solution freight-automation startups.
