From Paper Trails to Real-Time Efficiency

A Family-Owned Operation with Big Goals

Trans-Motion LLC operates with the best of both worlds: the horsepower to tackle large, complex logistics projects, and the personal touch that only a family-owned business can provide. Based in Omaha, they manage both carrier and brokerage operations, with a growing team and a strong emphasis on transparency, flexibility, and long-term partnerships.

“We are big enough that we have muscle to do really large and long-term projects, but we're still small enough that we haven't lost that personal touch.”

But that growth came with growing pains—especially when it came to technology.

The Challenge: Too Much Paper & Too Many Systems

Before Alvys, Trans-Motion was drowning in manual processes:

• Paperwork everywhere: Printed rate cons, handwritten notes, scanned docs—sometimes multiple times.
• Two disconnected systems for carrier and brokerage operations.
• Redundant data entry and missed opportunities to optimize across teams.
• Time-consuming payroll and settlements, requiring 20-page handbooks and workarounds.

As Alanna put it:

“We had a huge physical paper trail, which was really challenging to keep track of.”

The Solution: One Platform That Ties It All Together

Alvys replaced clunky systems and scattered workflows with a single, intuitive platform that supports both of Trans-Motion’s carrier and brokerage operations, allowing the team to operate with greater speed, accuracy, and visibility.

A Unified Operation

Trans-Motion can now seamlessly toggle between its two business units within Alvys. Dispatch, accounting, and settlements flow across both sides of the house without duplication or confusion.

“We can very quickly toggle back and forth between the two companies.”

With powerful search functionality, staff can quickly find any load, driver, or document.

"The search function allows us to quickly find information on specific drivers and their loads, giving us the ability to provide clients with information very quickly."

Consolidated their tech stack in one platform with integrations.

"The integrations are really wonderful. It works with our ELD system. It also integrates with our tracking for our trailers, and it's really become an interface that we can kind of use as an all-in-one rather than having to toggle between multiple different systems in order to get the information we need."

Easy-to-Use, Easy-to-Train On

New hires and veteran drivers picked up Alvys fast.

“Once you know how to navigate one module, it's pretty intuitive how to get around in the others.”

Cross-training is easier, which keeps operations running smoothly even when someone is out of the office.

Increased Driver Retention & Satisfaction

With Alvys, drivers receive load details, check-in/out, and see their settlements directly in the app. Dispatchers no longer waste time on check calls, and customers get real-time updates when they call.

Alvys makes paying drivers really easy. "Our company drivers can always look and see how many miles or hours have been reported in the system, so that really allows for that day-to-day transparency with them. All of our owner operators also have access to the rate confirmations and they can see exactly what they will be paid for each of those loads. I find that I have very few questions about payroll or  settlements at the end of the week because they have the information at their fingertips at all times."

Automatic Data Entry = Time Saved & Money Made

Alvys turns rate cons into live loads via email. That alone freed up dispatchers to focus on higher-value work—like finding new clients and exploring better lanes.

“We just upload all of our rate confirmations and then Alvys actually takes all that data and throws it right into the load for us.”

Custom Reporting & Revenue Visibility

With fully customizable reports, Trans-Motion now tracks revenue per truck, driver, or customer—daily. This gives teams visibility without waiting for end-of-month meetings.

"Alvys provides robust reporting features. We can customize reports by revenue per truck, revenue per driver, or revenue per customer, which is critical as we continue to grow."

Outstanding Support & True Customization

Onboarding had its bumps—but Alvys delivered. The support team jumped in, pulled in engineers, and customized the platform to meet Trans-Motion’s accounting and reporting needs.

"The team really worked to make sure they fully understood what was going on. They roped in everybody that they thought might need to be a part of those conversations, and we just walked through the process to make sure that we had what we needed...I don't know what they do, make new coding or whatever, they worked really hard to make sure that Alvys worked the way we needed it to. That high level of customer service and the fact that their product is malleable and not just a cookie cutter is something that I will definitely sing their praises on."

The Results

• Cut back-office busywork dramatically
• Improved driver satisfaction and adoption
• Reduced billing errors and payroll questions
• Enabled cross-training and operational resilience
• Gave every team member access to the insights they need

"Really for us, Alvys has that high level of customization and that high level of personal touch, both of those things are values that we have as a company for Trans-Motion. It's nice to have a partner in the industry that carries those same values."
