Gama vs WHIZCargo

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.

WHIZCargo manages freight from inquiry and quotation through booking, documentation, customs clearance, operations, and billing across air, sea, road, and multimodal transport. It brings together 25 modules spanning air and aviation cargo, sea and liner operations, land and multimodal freight, operations, and finance. Freight forwarders, NVOCC and LCL consolidators, liner agencies, ground handlers, ship and feeder agencies, and project and courier operators are among its intended users. Organizations can choose modules and add more as they grow; workflows are configured without custom code. The system includes shipment tracking, document management, customs workflows, carrier rate management, approvals, and supplier portal functions. Specialized tools include NVOCC container consolidation and reconciliation, while air cargo workflows cover acceptance, ULD allocation, and dangerous goods. Mobile apps for customers and staff run on iOS and Android and support scanning, photo and signature capture, GPS, and offline use. Deployment options are WHIZTEC-hosted single-tenant cloud or self-hosting. WHIZTEC says the product has been in production since 2002 and is deployed in 23 countries. Pricing is on request.
