How One Midsize Brokerage Improved Efficiency with Alvys

At Commercial Transport, the hustle never stops. As a growing freight brokerage, they move loads, handle paperwork, and juggle an ever-expanding list of responsibilities. For Nick Rabe, the company’s COO, keeping everything running smoothly while alo preparing for growth wasn’t just a challenge—it was a daily balancing act.

Nick knew they needed a system that could not only handle the complexities of the freight world but also make life easier for his team. “We needed a system that would not just meet our current needs but also grow with us,” Nick said.

That’s when Commercial Transport partnered with Alvys.

The Problem: Growth Meets Friction

Growth is a great problem to have—until your processes start falling apart under the pressure.

For Commercial Transport, manual processes were slowing everything down. Creating loads and managing rate confirmations required too much manual input, leading to wasted time and occasional errors. Important documents, like Bills of Lading (BOLs), were a headache to organize. And as the company scaled, these inefficiencies only grew, making it clear their old way of working wasn’t sustainable.

Nick and his team were ready for change.

The Solution: A New TMS System

Partnering with Alvys transformed how Commercial Transport worked. The TMS platform tackled their challenges head-on with smart features and intuitive tools. Here are a few of their favorites:

1. Automatic Load Creation

One of the first big wins came with Alvys’ Automatic Load Creation tool. Instead of spending valuable time manually entering data, Nick’s team could automate the process. This freed them up to focus on more strategic work.

2. Drag-and-Drop Document Management

Managing documents went from a chore to a breeze. With Alvys’ drag-and-drop functionality, uploading rate confirmations and BOLs became as simple as it sounds: drag, drop, and done.

Jordan Strong from Alvys put it best: “This feature was designed specifically to make document management seamless for users like you. Drag, drop, and go—it’s that simple.”

3. Training That Works for Busy Teams

Adopting a new system can feel overwhelming, but Alvys made the transition smooth by providing comprehensive training tools. Nick appreciated this, saying, “We’re all still learning, but Alvys is making it easier for my team to get up to speed quickly.”

The training modules—including video tutorials for different system features—ensured Nick’s team could hit the ground running and keep improving over time.

The Payoff: A Better Workflow

With Alvys in place, Commercial Transport is quickly seeing the benefits:

• Load Creation Simplified: Automation means less time spent on manual tasks.
• Fewer Document Headaches: Drag-and-drop functionality makes organizing paperwork fast and easy.
• Team Efficiency Boosted: Automation and training is freeing up the team to focus on what matters most—serving their clients and growing the business.
• Ready to Scale: Alvys’ tools and support give Commercial Transport a solid foundation for growth.

Nick was clear: Alvys wasn’t just a solution for today’s problems—it’s a partner for the future.

What’s Next for Commercial Transport

With Alvys in their corner, Nick and his team are ready for what’s next. Whether it’s handling more loads, scaling their operations, or finding new ways to serve their clients, they know they have the tools to succeed.

For Nick, it’s simple: “This system isn’t just meeting our needs; it’s helping us grow.”
