Company Earns Fifth Consecutive Spot on Top 100
Logistics & Supply Chain Technology Provider List
CLEVELAND, OH (July 22, 2025) – Banyan Technology, the leading provider of intelligent over-the-road (OTR) shipping software, achieves its fifth consecutive year of recognition on Inbound Logistics’ prestigious Top 100 Logistics & Supply Chain Technology Providers list. The consistent recognition reflects how Banyan has redefined freight technology through five years of fast-paced evolution, nonstop innovation and meaningful impact on the supply chain.
CEO Brian Smith credits the company’s streak of recognition to more than just innovative freight management technology.
“This isn’t about sticking to what works. It’s about constantly raising the bar,” he said. “Every year we challenge ourselves to do something better, smarter or more impactful for our clients. The fact that we’ve made this list five years in a row reflects that mindset.”
Over the last half-decade, Banyan has gone from an agile disruptor to a dominant force in intelligent over-the-road freight management. Its industry leading LIVE Connect® platform has matured into one of the most powerful shipping ecosystems in the market, supporting full visibility, rating, automation, execution and business intelligence across Truckload, LTL, Final Mile and Parcel. Clients use it to eliminate inefficiencies, automate workflows and gain a level of control and confidence that legacy systems just can’t deliver.
This past year alone, Banyan introduced the Banyan Marketplace, a one-stop hub where clients can explore new shipping tools that help them scale their freight operations with more agility and precision than ever before. The company also took major steps to help clients secure shipments against rising fraud and theft issues in the industry by integrating carrier identity verification, insurance options and claims services directly into the freight tendering process, helping Shippers and 3PLs address risks before they become issues.
Internally, Banyan has expanded the breadth and depth of knowledge and skill among team members as well to respond to growing demands in the market. Among these changes are skillsets to combat the growing need for strategic alliances, Carrier relationships and the demand for enhance AI in logistics.
This momentum is backed by a culture that fosters creativity and collaboration, exemplified by the launch of Banyan’s internal AI Shark Tank, which fast-tracks employee-driven ideas into live product features that solve real-world client challenges.
“Every move we make is intentional, and every release is shaped by the voices of our users,” said Rick Chappel, COO of Banyan Technology. “We don’t just build products; we solve real, everyday challenges that our clients face in the field. Whether it’s a new feature, integration or process improvement, we are laser-focused on creating tools that deliver measurable impact from day one.”
This spirit of innovation isn’t just powering internal growth; it’s shaping the future of freight. As the logistics industry embraces automation, AI and advanced analytics, Banyan is positioning its clients to lead the way. Not by reacting to change, but by driving it.
