Legacy TMS Is Costing You More Than You Think

It’s time to break free and run your freight business smarter.

Tired of clunky software, surprise fees, and minimal innovation? You’re not alone.

Across the industry, fleets are realizing that their old-school TMS is slowing them down, draining their budget, and putting them behind the competition. If your current system feels more like a burden than a boost, this one’s for you.

Let’s break down exactly why legacy TMS platforms are holding your business back—and how modern platforms are changing the game.

1. Unstable. Unreliable. Outdated.

Legacy TMS systems are built on aging, server-based infrastructure. That means:

• More downtime
• Higher IT and maintenance costs
• Limited access outside of the office

In a 24/7 business like trucking, that kind of instability can kill your margins and your momentum. Modern systems like Alvys, on the other hand, is cloud-native—no hardware, no IT headaches, no remote logins, just real-time access from anywhere and from any device. All you need is internet.

2. You’re Locked In

Legacy vendors love to trap you with:

• Long-term contracts
• High upfront (and ongoing) costs
• Surprise charges for every extra feature

Ever heard of the “Sunk Cost Fallacy?” By the time you realize the system isn’t working, you’re so invested it feels impossible to switch.

Alvys flips the script. One transparent, per-load price. No long term contracts required. No nickel-and-diming, no ridiculous fees for support or integration set up. Most carriers cut their software costs by up to 5x when they make the switch—while gaining flexibility and control.

3. No Innovation = No Edge

If your TMS hasn’t meaningfully changed in 3–5 years, that’s a red flag.

Freight technology is evolving fast, and Alvys ships AI-powered features and performance upgrades constantly—at no extra cost. While legacy systems stagnate, Alvys users get smarter routing, faster dispatching, better visibility, and real competitive advantage. We role out new features every month and rarely ever charge for them.  With Alvys, there is a constant stream of free upgrades.

4. Built on Broken Foundations

You can’t bolt modern tools onto ancient tech and expect it to work.

Legacy systems weren’t designed for today’s integrations, compliance automation, or real-time tracking. That’s why they struggle to scale. It’s like dropping a Tesla engine into a ‘98 Civic. Flashy? Maybe. Functional? Not really.

Alvys was built from the ground up to scale, integrate, and flex with the needs of modern freight operations.

5. Support That Charges You to Suffer

Legacy support = Long wait times + Robotic responses + Extra charges just to get help

At Alvys, support is always included. You get freight-savvy experts, fast answers, and actual problem-solving—because your team deserves better than a helpdesk that adds to your stress.

Modern Freight Teams Are Ditching the Legacy Drain

If you're still stuck with outdated software, you're likely overpaying and underperforming.

With Alvys, you can:

+ Modernize your ops

+ Lower your costs

+ Scale without the stress
