What do you like best about Banyan Technology?

The Banyan platform is one of the only TMS systems that we have worked with that allows users to multi-mode rate on one screen to ensure the right mode, carrier, cost and service are selected for every shipment.

The management team at Banyan are always looking at ways to improve the application and look to partner with companies that make the system more powerful and useful to all of their customers.

The Banyan account, implementation and support teams are deeply involved in our success every step of the way. TMS is all they do so we don't have to fight other areas for resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Banyan Technology?

There isn't much negative to state about Banyan. They listen to their customers and most of the areas that have been pain points in the past have already been addressed or are on their development roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Banyan Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

Banyan helps us and our customers make informed decisions on each and every shipment. It also helps us look at internal and external compliance to ensure that operations are running as efficiently and cost effectivley as possible. The BI, data and analytics tools make it easier to do that than we have been able to do previously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Banyan Technology?

The adaptability and ease of pulling my data. It's super easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Banyan Technology?

The power BI modules are at requests only. The method for contracted freight also went in house with matrices and it's a little constricting for me to change my contracted lanes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Banyan Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

RFP tools and Contracted lanes. RFP tools will help us hopefully to conduct our rfp in an easy and timely manner and alleviating the manual process. The contracted lanes will hopefully be more manageable and able to be user input. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Banyan Technology?

We have evaluated Banyan Technology from an investment perspective. The value prop of the platform in terms of operating in the end-to-end process flow, coupled with invaluable insghts into cost leakages makes Banyan Technology a must-have in certain businesses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Banyan Technology?

Banyan Technology seems to at times overcharge the customer, as a result of which the customer churn was relatively high. The lifetime value of the client took a hit because of high pricing modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Banyan Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I mentioned earlier, Banyan Tech uses automated contract rates tooffer seamlessOver The Roads (OTR) modules. This is a very unique value proposition to the clients. The present systems are very disaggregated, and the nature of the industry makes it a tough one to operate in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Banyan Technology?

This platform can be customized to suit the user's needs. Every LSCM company has differnet business processes and therefore different needs. There is not a single out-of-the-box solution on the market that will readily encompass all of those requirements. Banyan Technology's Development and Solutions Departments provide it's customer's with creative options, tailored to suit specific business requisites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Banyan Technology?

The end-to-end implementation of the Banyan platform can sometimes be a long and cumbsersome one. Banyan Technology doesn't understand a business' processes in the same way that the every-day users of the software would. Banyan Solutions Specialists are quick to adapt the software, however, both Banyan Technology and it's customer might benefit from a more in-depth intial deep dive of a client's usage goals before the go-live stage. Put shortly, building the Banyan platform into a company's business processes allows it to become a more permanent fixture that the client then doesn't have to ability to function normally without.

What problems is Banyan Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bamyan Technology has allowed us to view rates across multiple avenues, side by side, in real-time. The obvious benefits of this include time and cost savings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Banyan Technology?

Good to work with and has a good overall product.

Customer Service easy to work with and very knowledgeable of the product.

Willing to discuss the specifics and grass roots items.

Helpful when dealing/discussing with clients what can be done.

Willing to go above the call to meet with clients, podcasts, webcasts, etc.

Sometimes they are put in the middle with situations, but handle with professionalism and grace.

Very appreciative of us, their customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Banyan Technology?

Loaded Question. Do not want the negatives to be viewed as 'deal breakers'.

Would like to see the Pro number have a larger impact on data gathering, instead of BOL number. The BOL/PO numbers can be duplicated by clients and sometimes it creates issues on the FBM/Reverse side.

Some of the reports need a quick (cheat sheet) explanation. Only use a few, want to use more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Banyan Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

Routing, Rating, most definitely Auditing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
