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.

What do you like best about Banyan Technology?

Their proficiently trained personnel consistently offer prompt assistance and support. Utilizing their software has significantly enhanced our operational efficiency, enabling us to seamlessly rate, track, and invoice each less than truckload (LTL) shipment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Banyan Technology?

Like any software system, occasional glitches may arise, although fortunately, they are not a weekly occurrence. Apart from that, we have no complaints whatsoever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The most significant improvement we've experienced is the capacity to promote our door-to-door service to Mexico. Providing less than truckload (LTL) service in Mexico presents unique challenges, particularly in terms of support once shipments are in motion. However, with Banyon, we have successfully navigated these challenges and now offer extensive coverage in the region. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Banyan Technology?

We were able to integrate this with our current system, automating our logistics process and taking out the tedious tasks of copying and pasting all of the data from our current system. We went from having 4 people processing shipments all day every day to one person spending an hour a day on the shipping process, freeing up our time to do many other things within our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Banyan Technology?

Only downside is not being able to add carriers myself and having to wait for someone to do it for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It has completely solved the tedious tasks we had previously and allowed our company to grow, while still maintaing the same great level of service we had previously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Banyan Technology?

Easy access to the TMS web portal, very intuitive.

Always on the cutting edge of technology.

Not only does Patrick /team respond in the same day. They typically respond within a 1 hour timeframe.

The Connect 2023 was extremely helpful in pointing out other helpful opportunities and was a great opportunity to network Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Banyan Technology?

I wish we could utilize all the features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Our suppliers utilize the web portal, so most often we are troubleshooting getting the supplier set up correctly with a UserID/PW. Helps us get our freight booked in an efficient manner. The team also helped us figure out the dock times (military time) so that we could book accordingly.

Always extremely helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Updating Carrier Profiles, Clients' Carrier Mgmt. It would keep things more uniform when reviewing client information Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Banyan Technology?

The company uses Banyan all day, everyday so we needed a TMS platform that would be easy to use and understand. Banyan has been quick to resolve issues. The freight bill management is great. The team is wonderful to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Banyan Technology?

The platform looks a bit dated but it works well. There have been some issues created by Banyan but they have been quick to resolve them. The implementation was slower than anticipated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Banyan for freight rating, BOL generation, and freight bill management. We have started using the freight analytics to better track and understand our freight spend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Banyan Technology?

THe ability to access and rate my LTL contracts within my own platform. The interface and ease of using the product has given me an advantage to be quick to market and remain relvent to my customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Banyan Technology?

The ability to do qucik searches. However - as long as I have some basic criteria - the serach does not take me long to find what I may be looking for (a quote number). I would like to perahsp look at how the quote ID can be provided back to my system when booking an LTL provider - so that if a disupute come over on an invoice - and there is no WNI - the quote ID can be used as a referance in the dispute.

One place to access multiple sites for rates at one time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Banyan has proved that my company has strong aggreements, but we have not utilized the proper shippers for proper lanes. Banyan as allowed my company to diversify our shipping partners and ensure we are using the correct carrier for the correct lane. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
