About

Banyan Technology is redefining over-the-road shipping through LIVE Connect®, the industry’s most connected OTR freight management platform. Designed for Shippers, 3PLs and supply chain partners, LIVE Connect unifies Truckload, LTL, Final Mile and Parcel into a single freight ecosystem. More than a traditional TMS, LIVE Connect pioneered API-driven connectivity in LTL shipping, bringing real-time carrier integration and automated execution into a market once dominated by manual processes. Today, that foundation powers system integrations, predictive pricing, automated freight audit and embedded business intelligence that transform transportation data into operational advantage. With 3x more carrier connections than any other provider, Banyan delivers unmatched connectivity, optimized carrier selection and cost control. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, Banyan continues to evolve alongside its clients, shaping the future of intelligent freight execution.
