Numeo vs Alvys

Modern cloud TMS for trucking carriers and brokers.

Alvys is a modern web-based transportation management system (TMS) used by 2,000+ trucking companies. Numeo is an AI-native dispatch layer that automates load finding, broker outreach, and rate negotiation across DAT, Truckstop, and direct broker accounts — and runs on top of any TMS, including Alvys. The two products solve different problems: Alvys is system-of-record, Numeo is dispatch automation.

Where Alvys is strong — and where Numeo fits

Alvys strengths

  • #1 modern TMS for trucking by market presence
  • Full operational coverage: dispatch, accounting, settlements, EDI, driver app
  • Strong customer base — 2,000+ companies using the platform
  • Mature integrations with factoring, ELD, and shipper EDI

Where Numeo fills the gap

  • →No AI load search across boards — dispatchers still manually pull from DAT, Truckstop, broker portals
  • →No AI negotiation of broker rates — outreach is manual email or phone
  • →Annual contracts and per-seat pricing; not ideal for carriers under 25 trucks testing dispatch automation
  • →TMS replacement project — most carriers run on McLeod, Truckbase, or spreadsheets and need a migration plan

Verdict

Alvys is the right choice if you need to replace a creaky legacy TMS and you have budget for annual seat licensing. Numeo is the right choice if you want to keep your current TMS (or run lean without one) and automate the day-to-day dispatch work — load search, broker outreach, rate negotiation, and status updates. Most carriers run Numeo on top of their existing TMS, including Alvys.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Numeo and Alvys?
Alvys is a system-of-record TMS — it tracks loads, billing, settlements, and EDI. Numeo is an AI dispatch automation layer — it searches loads across 15+ boards, drafts broker rate-negotiation emails, and pushes load status updates automatically. Alvys replaces your TMS; Numeo runs on top of it. Many carriers use both.
Is Numeo cheaper than Alvys?
Yes — Numeo starts at $9.99 per dispatcher per month (billed annually) on the Pro plan, with a free Chrome extension as the entry point. Alvys does not publish pricing but typically runs $150–$300 per seat per month on an annual contract. Numeo also has no implementation fee or migration project.
Can I use Numeo on top of Alvys?
Yes. Numeo runs alongside any TMS, including Alvys. Dispatchers use Numeo for load search across boards, broker outreach, and AI rate negotiation — then push the booked load into Alvys via integration or copy-paste. No TMS replacement required.
Is Alvys an AI dispatch tool?
Alvys is a modern TMS with some workflow automation, but it does not include AI load ranking across boards, AI-drafted broker negotiation emails, or AI broker status updates. For those, carriers layer Numeo on top of Alvys or replace manual dispatch processes with Numeo.
What is a good Alvys alternative for small carriers?
For carriers under 25 trucks, Numeo One is a lightweight AI-native TMS alternative from $9.99 per dispatcher per month. It includes dispatch, load tracking, driver app basics, and integrates with QuickBooks. Carriers under 5 trucks often start with the free Numeo Spot Chrome extension on DAT and add Numeo One later.
