Leading Software Provider Advancing OTR Shipping
with AI-Powered Freight Management
CLEVELAND, OH (December 9, 2025) – Banyan Technology has been recognized as one of the most innovative and influential freight technology companies by FreightWaves for the second consecutive year. Inclusion in the 2026 FreightTech 100 list echoes Banyan’s continued leadership in freight automation.
A pioneer in the history of over-the-road shipping, Banyan is strategically poised for the future of intelligent shipping driven by AI and predictive freight management solutions.
LIVE Connect®, Banyan’s real-time execution platform, already offers the industry’s largest API Carrier connectivity network to quote, book, track and manage shipments with speed, security and accuracy. Pushing far beyond traditional freight execution, Banyan is introducing AI powered freight intelligence tools such as load consolidation, load tracking, shipment reporting, freight bill auditing and more, all designed to transform shipping economics and reduce complexity.
“Our team is thrilled to once again be recognized. But our real excitement is about what comes next,” said Brian Smith, Chief Executive Officer at Banyan Technology. “We are building technology that helps the industry stay ahead of disruptions, so decisions become predictive instead of reactive. The future of freight requires intelligence that works behind the scenes and moves at the speed of the supply chain.”
Banyan’s latest system enhancements are being developed to leverage AI and predictive analytics to identify risks earlier, automate common actions and guide users toward better choices that cut waste and protect margins. Load Consolidation will give shippers and logistics providers a powerful way to combine shipments more efficiently, reducing spend without sacrificing delivery performance. Together these advancements reflect Banyan’s belief that freight success is no longer only measured by execution but by foresight and control.
“Innovation has to mean more than fewer clicks,” said Rick Chappel, Chief Operating Officer. “Modern logistics teams are being asked to do more with less. They need technology that performs like a co-worker and a risk manager, not just another screen in the operation.”
Being named to the FreightTech 100 list again affirms Banyan’s position as a leader in over-the-road transportation. The company remains committed to helping organizations eliminate manual steps, improve collaboration, streamline workflows and create a more secure and resilient freight ecosystem.
