A Samsara Alternative Built for Cross-Border Freight

Samsara is a strong general-purpose fleet telematics platform. Gumly Route is purpose-built for freight that crosses borders — customs, border-crossing status, and a load board included.

THE PROBLEM

General fleet telematics stops at the border

Vehicle tracking and driver safety tools built primarily for domestic US fleets typically don't model customs clearance, border-crossing wait times, or multi-country compliance documents.

THE SOLUTION

Fleet visibility plus trade-corridor context

Gumly Route pairs live vehicle tracking with border-crossing intelligence, customs document management, and a carrier load board — in one platform, for one price tier.

Features

Live fleet tracking

GPS position and route progress, same as a standard telematics platform.

Border-crossing intelligence

Wait times and crossing status by border point — not a standard telematics feature.

Customs documents

Declarations and compliance documents tracked per shipment and per corridor.

Multi-carrier & forwarder support

Coordinate freight forwarders and multiple carriers on the same shipment.

Built-in load board

Post and bid on freight without a separate marketplace tool.

Corridor-specific coverage

China, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Türkiye, and Europe — the Middle Corridor by design.

How it works

Existing GPS/ELD hardware or the driver mobile app.

STEP 2

Track across borders

Position, customs status, and crossing events on one map.

STEP 3
