The Hard Truth About TMS Choices
Choosing the wrong TMS can trap you in endless onboarding calls, broken integrations, and a system that looks slick in a demo but slows you down in the real world. That’s where the difference between Truckpedia and Alvys shows up fast. On paper, both claim automation, integrations, and modern features. But when it comes down to running trucks, keeping dispatch smooth, and getting invoices out on time, Truckpedia consistently comes out ahead.
Out of the Box vs. Waiting on Integrations
Alvys has made a name around integrations—ELDs, load boards, accounting, and more. It’s impressive, but it also means you don’t really get a working system until those connections are configured. That can mean weeks of setup before you see value. Truckpedia flips that script. It works the moment you log in. You don’t need a consultant to connect six different platforms just to dispatch your first load. You’re operational on day one, and that speed matters when your margins depend on keeping wheels moving.
Where Truckpedia Pulls Ahead
Both platforms bring solid features, but here’s where Truckpedia delivers advantages Alvys simply can’t match:
- Immediate usability: Truckpedia runs out of the box, while Alvys depends heavily on integrations.
- Load collaborator feature: Share live tracking with brokers, shippers, or stakeholders automatically—no extra logins required.
- Unlimited customizable dispatch views: Shape the dashboard around your process instead of reshaping your process around the software.
- Two-click invoicing: Process and invoice loads in seconds, not after a series of steps.
- Live interactive dispatch: Generate and send invoices before the truck leaves the dock, accelerating cash flow.
These aren’t minor conveniences—they’re business-critical advantages that save time, improve customer relationships, and protect margins.
Invoicing That Moves as Fast as Your Freight
Cash flow is where small carriers live or die. Alvys can invoice, but you’re still moving through multiple steps before payments are triggered. Truckpedia keeps it simple: process and invoice a load in just two clicks. Even better, with our live interactive dispatch, you can generate and send that invoice before your driver leaves the dock. That means faster payments, healthier cash flow, and no more waiting weeks to get what you’ve already earned.
The Bottom Line
Alvys brings modern design and integration depth. But Truckpedia is built by truckers who know you don’t have time to wait on IT setups or fight through rigid dashboards. With out-of-the-box usability, real-time collaboration, customizable dispatch views, and lightning-fast invoicing, Truckpedia gives carriers the tools to grow without adding complexity.
Carriers don’t win by buying the flashiest system. They win by running the one that saves time, gets cash in the door, and adapts to their operation. That’s why Truckpedia is the smarter choice in 2025.
