Banyan Technology Featured on TIA and SourceForge Podcasts
Banyan Technology CEO Brian Smith shared his insight into the growing role of practical AI and connected freight technology in two newly released podcast interviews this week. Smith discusses Banyan’s approach to intelligent freight execution, including AI agents, connected workflows, smarter automation and tools designed to help teams act faster and work more strategically.
As a leader in connected over-the-road freight management, Banyan’s perspective is grounded in real-world execution, helping clients bring together systems, data and workflows in ways that support faster action, stronger coordination and more informed freight decisions.
In an interview recorded live at TIA Capital Ideas 2026, Smith discusses how the industry can move beyond the paralysis surrounding AI by focusing on practical applications that reduce manual work, improve responsiveness and create immediate operational value.
In a separate interview with SourceForge, Smith takes a broader look at Banyan’s evolution, the role of connectivity across freight modes and the growing importance of turning freight data into actionable information that supports better decisions.
