About
Game Management Solutions (GMS) is the leading software platform for deer breeders and hunting operations, with over 20 years of client-driven development. The GMS Web App — powered by the NADR database — is fully cloud-hosted on secure Microsoft servers with automatic backups, accessible from any Windows, Android, or Apple device with internet connectivity. GMS provides end-to-end herd management: track every animal by species, sex, tag, NADR number, electronic ID, and ownership details, including purchase price, removal date, and sale history. Users can create pens and groups, record multi-animal movements, and log medication treatments individually or in bulk. One of GMS's standout features is its deep NADR genetic integration. Users can submit DNA samples directly through the app and automatically receive GEBV scores, Codon Values, and lineage data — no manual entry required. The Dream Deer tool lets breeders model breeding scenarios and save them as PDFs for future planning. The Deer Vault provides a paperless, cloud-backed document storage system (organized like Windows Explorer) for certificates, receipts, and medical records. Reports export as PDFs, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint files, or Word documents, and can be emailed directly from the platform. GMS is ideal for individual breeders, large-scale ranches, and wildlife research teams that need rigorous, organized, and accessible animal records.
