Gama
Richardson, Texas, United States
What it is
Gama is freight management software for small and medium-sized freight forwarders, giving their customers a branded online portal for freight tasks. Customers can search rates, book and manage shipments, track freight, pay invoices, and view analytics. A shipment dashboard presents shipment details and documents and can help customers identify shipments that may need attention.
Rate searches cover ocean, air, land, and express or parcel transport, while forwarders control the markup shown in customer quotes. Gama includes booking management, shipment tracking, document management, and carrier rate management. It is designed to complement a forwarder’s TMS rather than replace it. The service is available on Android, iOS, and the web, and the maker describes its mobile app as offering full-feature access from any device. Listed integrations include CargoWise, Maersk, and Evergreen; Gama says it can build a connection when an API is available. A free trial is offered, along with demo accounts and proof-of-concept work using actual shipment data without a long-term obligation. The monthly SaaS subscription starts at $199 per month; actual pricing varies with shipment volume, user count, and integration complexity.
