Gumro & Associates is honored to be trusted with the freight by some of the country’s largest retailers and fortune 500 companies. Operating across North America in many industries G&A had to find a tool to redefine the industry standards, accuracy and control of the large volumes of freight. G&A shopped the market and found nothing that was adequate for the high set standards. In 2003 G&A deployed a huge undertaking to create a state of the art system unlike anything else the market has seen. The early versions of ePAD were released in 2003 as a part of our core operating software. Since conception, G&A has spent countless time with R&D, testing new modules, and building add-ons for numerous customers through the years. Today we are still making improvements but with the latest version being implemented throughout our network, we are proud to say we have come a long way.
