Alvys Integration
Alvys runs dispatch, loads and billing for carriers and brokers, and it has a public API. We use it to bring loads and customers into your CRM, so you sell from real freight history.

Quick answer
How do you integrate Alvys with a CRM?
You integrate Alvys with a CRM through the Alvys public API, which exposes resources such as loads, drivers and trucks through a developer portal with interactive documentation. An integration service reads customers, loads and invoices and writes them to HubSpot or Salesforce. API access depends on your Alvys plan.

How we approach it
Why carriers on Alvys connect a CRM
Alvys already connects to the tools a carrier runs every day: QuickBooks, Samsara, Motive, DAT. What it does not do is sell. Shipper relationships, quotes, follow-ups and marketing sit in a CRM, and without a link reps quote blind.
We keep it practical: customers and loads into the CRM, a weekly volume rollup per shipper, and an alert when a regular shipper goes quiet. Most carriers get more from that than from any dashboard.
What the Alvys public API exposes
Alvys publishes an open developer portal with interactive documentation.
-
Loads
Load records with customer, stops, status and rates, the core of any CRM sync.
-
Drivers and trucks
Fleet resources, useful for capacity messages to shippers rather than for the CRM itself.
-
Prebuilt integrations
Alvys connects natively to QuickBooks, Samsara, Motive, Geotab and DAT, so accounting and telematics are already covered.
-
Plan-based access
API access depends on your Alvys plan. We confirm it before scoping.

What our team builds
What can F5 build on Alvys?
Anything with an API, an EDI feed, a database or a file export can be connected. If the connector you found stops short, our engineers build the rest, from the first data map to the system in production.
-
Two-way sync
Alvys records flow into HubSpot or Salesforce, and the changes sales makes go back where your process needs them. Real time where it matters, scheduled where volume is high.
-
Custom objects and fields
Shipments, loads, quotes and invoices as real CRM records linked to the account, with the fields your team filters on.
-
Middleware you can trust
A layer between the systems with retries, logs and alerts, so a failed record is fixed in minutes instead of found at month end.
-
Revenue attribution
The campaign that produced each lead travels to the quote, the shipment and the invoice. Marketing reports revenue, not form fills.
-
Dashboards and alerts
Account health, volume drops, open quotes and overdue invoices as CRM reports and Slack or email alerts for the people who act on them.
-
Portals, quote tools and apps
Customer portals, instant quote tools and internal apps on top of Alvys. See custom logistics software development.
Why logistics teams hire F5 for Alvys
- Logistics first. We know what a house bill, a load or a SKU means, so the data map starts from your operation, not from a generic CRM template.
- One team for engineering and growth. The people who build the integration also run campaigns on that data, so every field we sync has a sales or marketing use.
- Any system, any stack. APIs, SOAP and XML, EDI, databases, SFTP files and legacy on-premise systems. If the data exists, we can move it.
- Production standards. Monitoring, alerting, documentation and a handover your IT team can read. We support the build after launch.
- Scope before code. You get a data map and a build plan first, so you know what moves, in which direction and on which trigger before anything is built.

Turn data into pipeline
Dashboards, workflows and alerts in the CRM, so reps see shipments next to deals and marketing sees which campaigns produced revenue.
- Step 4
Monitor and extend
Error alerts, schema changes and new objects as you grow, with one team accountable for the integration and the marketing that uses it.
