Not a full one. UMERA focuses on freight procurement - the RFQ and the fair-price signal. For many shippers that is exactly the part that hurts, without a heavy rollout.

Can I use my own carriers?

Yes. You invite only the carriers you already know; they quote via a link with no account, and your data stays yours.

A Cargoson alternative: when UMERA fits

Cargoson is a solid transport management system (TMS) - it helps you manage carriers, pricelists and bookings in one place. UMERA is narrower and sharper: it turns a messy order into a clean RFQ, sends it to your own carriers, and a gauge built from your own history tells you whether the best quote is actually fair. If you want a full TMS, Cargoson is a strong choice; if your pain is that quoting eats 45 minutes and you can't tell whether the price is fair, UMERA fits.

	UMERA	Cargoson
Core job	Fast RFQ + a fair-price signal on a single load.	Full transport management (TMS) - planning, booking, reporting.
Quoting	One click sends the RFQ to your own carriers; they quote via a link, no account.	Typically works from agreed pricelists and booking.
Fair-rate	A gauge (P25 / median / P75) from YOUR history, per corridor.	Built for management, not a live fair-rate signal.
Getting started	Free to start; carriers need no account.	A full TMS rollout is usually heavier.
