Deep Industry DNA
We aren’t just developers trying to learn supply chain – we are veteran supply chain professionals who build world-class software for shippers and receivers.
Backed by a 50-year legacy and comprised of professionals with over 300 combined years of industry experience, we know that generic tech falls apart when the stakes are high. We engineered AlchemyTMS to solve the exact operational bottlenecks that growers, manufacturers, producers, distributors, and retailers face every day. Whether it’s automating lot-tracking for FSMA 204 compliance or creating rules-based engines to eliminate yard congestion, we understand the operational realities behind the software.
Uncompromising Data Security
Your data belongs to you, full stop. AlchemyTMS is hosted in a fully secured, cloud-based architecture fortified by comprehensive disaster recovery systems and backed by 24/7 support to ensure your supply chain never stops moving.
We understand the logistics industry’s need for absolute privacy. Your proprietary lane data, negotiated carrier rates, and routing guides are hosted on dedicated servers. So, you dictate exactly who sees your data—meaning zero third-party visibility unless you explicitly authorize access for your trusted carriers or 3PL partners. We never independently share, leverage, or monetize your operational data. With advanced encryption and strict access controls, your competitive advantage remains entirely yours.
Built for Enterprise Integration
Your TMS shouldn’t be an island, and your competitive advantage shouldn’t be at risk. AlchemyTMS acts as the connective tissue of your supply chain, using standard APIs, EDI, and other secure integration methods to connect seamlessly with your existing tech stack. Whether you are running a modern cloud-based WMS or a heavily customized legacy ERP, your operational data flows effortlessly in both directions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AlchemyTMS and who is it designed for?
AlchemyTMS is a modular, cloud-based Transportation Management System (TMS) engineered exclusively for shippers and receivers. Designed specifically for growers, manufacturers, producers, distributors, and retailers, it allows supply chain leaders to seamlessly manage both dry and refrigerated freight, automate load tendering, gain real-time visibility, and integrate their logistics operations with existing ERPs. Because it is strictly built for organizations controlling their own shipments – and not for 3PLs, brokers, or carriers – AlchemyTMS guarantees absolute data privacy and gives shippers total control over their network.
What is the difference between a modular TMS and custom TMS software?
Traditional custom software is built from the ground up—meaning multi-year development cycles, high costs, and significant risk. A modular TMS like AlchemyTMS relies on a robust, battle-tested core architecture. We then tailor the specific modules, business rules, and workflows to your exact operations. You get the exact-fit performance of custom software in a fraction of the time and without the custom price tag.
How does AlchemyTMS connect with my existing ERP or WMS?
AlchemyTMS integrates with any existing ERP or WMS to ensure real-time data flow across your entire tech stack, regardless of complexity. Whether that means leveraging modern APIs, traditional EDI, webhooks, or secure file transfers for older legacy systems, we make the connection happen. We routinely link up with platforms like Famous Software, NetSuite, Oracle, Blue Yonder, and Samsara, ensuring your data flows effortlessly in both directions.
Does AlchemyTMS support cold chain and produce-specific requirements?
Yes. AlchemyTMS was built for the fresh produce and cold-chain industries, where shelf life and temperature control are critical. The platform includes specialized capabilities to manage time-sensitive appointment windows, monitor temperature-sensitive freight, maintain FSMA 204 compliance and audit trails, and streamline complex multi-stop loads. Whether you are managing fresh produce, frozen goods, or temperature-regulated pharmaceuticals, AlchemyTMS provides the visibility and control needed to protect your cargo and prevent costly retailer chargebacks.
How does ALC Logistics protect proprietary freight and carrier data?
First and foremost, you own your data, and the Allen Lund Company brokerage never sees it. While ALC Logistics is backed by the 50-year legacy and financial security of the Allen Lund Company, we operate as an independent software division. We know that data privacy is a top concern, which is why your AlchemyTMS environment is hosted on dedicated servers completely separate from any brokerage operations. They have absolutely zero access or visibility into your proprietary routing guides, negotiated rates, or lane data. You maintain absolute control over your data—unless you explicitly authorize a carrier or 3PL to connect, your operational data remains strictly isolated and secure within our cloud-based architecture.
How long does it take to implement AlchemyTMS?
AlchemyTMS implementation is highly efficient, with deployment timelines based precisely on the specific modules and integrations you require. Because our platform is modular and SaaS based, you aren’t forced to wait through a massive IT overhaul. Instead, we use a strategic, phased deployment. This allows your team to save time and achieve rapid time-to-value on core functions first, while we seamlessly roll out advanced workflows and custom integrations in the background.
Is AlchemyTMS built for mid-market shippers or large-scale enterprises?
Both. That is the distinct advantage of a modular architecture. Whether you are a mid-market shipper moving hundreds of loads a month or a multinational corporation managing millions of annual shipments, AlchemyTMS scales to your exact reality. You only deploy the operational capabilities you need today, with the ability to seamlessly activate enterprise-grade features as your network grows.
