Frontier for a Alvys shopper

- Priced by booked loads a month, never by seat. Unlimited users on every plan
- Each carrier's emails in one chain on the load: accept, counter by email, or pass

- Carrier bills checked against the rate con before you pay
- Runs inside your trucking company too, if you also haul
When Alvys might fit better
If most of your freight runs on your own trucks and you broker the overflow, Alvys is built for that, and its page lists over 120 built-in integrations, including native EDI with no middleware fees, QuickBooks, major ELDs and load boards. Frontier runs a trucking company and a brokerage in one account too, but its broker side is newer and in early access.
New, and in early access
Frontier for Brokers is new. It comes from the team behind Frontier for Carriers, which a family-owned trucking company runs on every day, and it’s built first for brokerages from one person to a busy floor.
