Side-by-side evaluation
This is a buyer evaluation framework, not a feature-count scorecard. Current plans, contracts, configurations, integrations, and business models determine what either system must prove.
| Decision area | Alvys | ARK TMS | Acceptance test |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business model | Alvys supports carriers, brokers, hybrid companies, enterprises, and private fleets. | ARK is designed around U.S. freight brokerage operations. | Split every workflow into brokerage, fleet, shared, or retired before mapping data. |
| Driver and asset operations | Alvys markets a driver app, asset tracking, safety, maintenance, and driver or carrier settlements. | ARK supports broker carrier and load workflows; fleet maintenance and asset dispatch are not the core product position. | Identify the system that will own drivers, trucks, trailers, HOS, maintenance, and fleet pay. |
| EDI and automation | Alvys promotes native EDI, automated load creation, marketplace work, and a public API. | ARK supports EDI and API integrations, but each trading partner and automation must be scoped and tested. | Replay one inbound order and all required status, document, and invoice messages. |
| Commercial structure | Alvys publishes a starting price plus user, division, and commitment packaging details. | ARK’s standard checkout is seat-based; current terms and any custom offer should be compared in writing. | Model actual users, divisions, integrations, implementation, data migration, and support. |
Commercial scope

Pricing and packaging can change. Use current written offers from ARK and Alvys as the commercial source of truth.
