Rig Terminal vs Alvys
Alvys and Rig Terminal are both cloud-native TMS products built for the post-McLeod era. The difference: Alvys is a TMS. Rig Terminal is a TMS plus FDIC-insured business checking, fleet fuel cards, weekly payroll, 24-hour factoring, AI load scoring, and Voice AI — at a flat monthly price.
Pick Alvys if you only need the TMS layer and already have banking, payroll, and factoring sorted. Pick Rig Terminal if you want one platform that runs the operations and the money.
