Alvys acquires LoadOps customer base from Optym

Alvys is taking over Optym’s LoadOps customer base in a strategic partnership announced Tuesday, positioning Alvys as the TMS home for those customers while Optym shifts more fully into optimization software. The deal is meant to speed a smoother transition for carriers and brokers and deepen each company’s focus areas.

Why it matters: - The move gives LoadOps customers a new transportation management system home without forcing a larger operational reset. - Alvys gains more carriers and brokers on its platform. - Optym can concentrate resources on optimization products, including LoadAi. - The deal could expand the companies’ shared customer base with a new joint offering that has not yet been announced.

What happened: - Alvys is acquiring the LoadOps customer base from Optym as part of a strategic partnership announced Sept. 23, 2026. - Alvys will serve as the TMS home for Optym’s existing LoadOps customers. - Optym will shift focus to its optimization science and products. - Both companies said they are working together to support a smooth transition for customers.

The details: - Alvys describes itself as an AI-first TMS for carriers, brokers and hybrid companies. - Optym focuses on transportation network optimization. - Optym’s Founder and CEO Ravi Ahuja said the company built Optym to solve hard optimization problems in transportation and wanted to put more resources into that mission. - Ahuja said LoadOps customers needed a TMS partner built for the long haul, and that Alvys was the right partner after meetings with Alvys clients and leadership. - Alvys Founder and CEO Nick Darman said the platform gives customers one system for dispatch, accounting, compliance and driver management. - Darman said the system offers one login and one source of truth. - Alvys said the platform is built for carriers and brokers. - The companies said early migrations are happening within days of the first call. - The companies said initial users are encouraging peers to adopt the system. - Alvys recently launched Alvys Foundry, which it uses to enable agentic workflows while continuing to serve as a system of record and workflow platform. - Optym’s optimization products include LoadAi.

Between the lines: - The partnership looks like a clean division of labor: Optym leans into optimization software, while Alvys expands in core TMS operations. - For customers, the appeal is continuity. The transition is framed around preserving workflows instead of replacing them. - The language around a shared offering suggests the companies see room to sell more together after the migration.

What’s next: - Alvys and Optym are continuing to move LoadOps accounts onto Alvys. - The companies plan to announce a shared offering for their combined install base. - Alvys will keep developing Alvys Foundry and its core TMS platform. - Optym will keep developing LoadAi and related optimization products.

The bottom line: - Alvys gets a bigger customer base, Optym gets sharper focus, and LoadOps users get a new TMS platform with both companies involved in the transition.
