What do you like best about Banyan Technology?

Banyan is a powerful tool that we use in our less than truckload space. It has really allowed us to be more versatile in our approach to our customers and their support to us as their customer has been top-notch as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Banyan Technology?

We have not seen any downsides to partnering with Banyan at this point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Banyan is allowing us to streamline our LTL dispatching. We have built out a carrier select platform which puts us far ahead of other brokerages that are our size. It has helped us win customers, and the system does a great job with tracking and documentation as the load progresses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Banyan Technology?

Ability to customize when needed. Admin controls. Over the years we have seen vast improvement, especially on down time. Banyan staff is great to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Banyan Technology?

System is not intuitive enough. Some examples. (1) Volume Rating: Users don't fill out the UI correctly, missing the linear footage. (2) Carrier display name is the only means of manipulation to let users know critical information about a carrier (negates guaranteed service levels language). (3) The user does not know to scroll up to book a load if a rate is too far down the list of carriers that returns rates. (4) I've seen a major increase in dispatch failure messages stating "IT has been notified" (no help to the user to help identify the issue so they can fix it and retry the pickup request). (5) After a load successfully dispatched, the green arrow going back and forth to the In-transit button is confusing, it makes the user think they have to click the button, which we strongly discourage. (6) Hazmat: Users are confused re: filling out the Proper Hazmat Shipping Name and also filling out the Description field (making the BOL non-compliant) (7) If there is a space behind the BOL number when searching for a BOL, system will not pull up the load, you have to remove the space at the end in order for the load to come up.(8) User has to click "Include cancelled Loads, makes it difficult when searching for loads?"(9) Many, many times after filling out specs to run a rate, no rates will return and we get message stating "This load does not have any rates", then will need to click "get rates" again.(10) After rates are ran, user do not know what the next step is. The system does not guide them / inform them the next step is to create the BOL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Banyan has the technology and current mapping to bring back rates via API for all common LTL carriers. We've been able to heavily customize Banyan to meet our needs like connecting to our insurance company via API, adding accessorials specific to our company, customized BOLs, customized features. Helping our clients / guiding them when needed to connect via web services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
