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.

About

PlanTools™ route optimization software takes input information about a set of shipments due to be delivered within a limited time frame (typically a couple of days in the future, or maybe up to a week from now) and determines the lowest cost combination of those shipments over a variety of transportation modes including LTL, full or partial truckloads, intermodal and pool distribution or common carrier vs. private fleet to take advantage of the economies. Web-based system avoids capital expenditure, reduces IT infrastructure, implementation and maintenance cost. Adds muscle to any proprietary or commercially available Transportation or Fleet Management System. Becomes an integral part of your supply chain processes allowing planners to respond instantly to changing requirements. Powers through real-world challenges using a robust set of routing parameters to produce practical transportation plans.
