Gama vs Shipthis

Gama is freight management software for small and medium-sized freight forwarders, providing their customers with online tools. Its branded customer portal supports rate searches, shipment bookings, live shipment management and tracking, invoice payments, and analytics. A shipment dashboard presents shipment details and documents and can help customers identify potential problem shipments. Rate searches cover ocean, air, land, and express or parcel transport; forwarders control the markup shown in customer quotes. Gama includes booking management, shipment tracking, document management, and carrier rate management. It is intended 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 providing 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 a month. Actual pricing varies with shipment volume, number of users, and integration complexity.

Accounting integrations include QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, and major ERP systems. Shipthis supports GST, VAT, ZATCA, and multi-country customs compliance. It is cloud-hosted and describes encryption, role-based controls, penetration testing, and automated backups. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications were described as in progress, targeting Q3 2026. The Shipthis plan costs $89 a month per user; add-ons and setup fees may cost extra.
