What Gama is
Gama is freight management software for small and medium-sized freight forwarders, providing a branded online portal for their customers. Customers can search rates, book shipments, manage and track live freight, pay invoices, and view analytics. A shipment dashboard presents details and documents and can help identify potential problem shipments. Rate searches cover ocean, air, land, and express or parcel services; forwarders control the markup shown in customer quotes. Gama includes booking management, shipment tracking, document management, and carrier rate management, and is intended to complement rather than replace a forwarder's TMS. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Listed integrations include CargoWise, Maersk, and Evergreen, and the maker says it can build connections where an API is available. A free trial, demo account, and proof of concept using actual shipment data are offered without a long-term obligation. Implementation may take a few weeks or less depending on required integrations.
