Nick Darman and Joe Lynch discuss a carrier-centric TMS, which is exactly what Nick and the Alvys team have built. Nick is the CEO and Founder of Alvys, a transformative TMS for carrier, broker and hybrid operations.

About Nick Darman

Nick Darman iis the CEO and Founder of Alvys, a transformative TMS for carrier, broker and hybrid operations. During college, Nick began dispatching for his dad's family-owned trucking business. After earning his degree in Economics, he took a position at JP Morgan. However, his entrepreneurial spirit led him back to trucking. By 2014, he established an asset-based brokerage. Seeing a gap in quality operating systems, he assembled a team and crafted his own TMS in 2017. The system boosted his business to an impressive 100 million in revenue in just a few years. Given the success (and friends' interest in the TMS), Nick shifted to tech. Partnering with CTO Leo Gorodinski, the former VP of Engineering at Jet.com, Nick introduced Alvys in 2020. Created to support underrepresented carriers, Alvys is enhanced with a native EDI solution, granting carriers and brokers swift integrations and fluid workflows.
