Banyan Technology Supply Chain Integration Case Study

This case study details the integration of Banyan Technology’s LIVE Connect platform with Skidmore Sales & Distributing’s ERP system to enhance freight management and operational efficiency. Skidmore faced logistical challenges due to manual coordination with carriers and a lack of integration with their legacy systems, which hindered communication and invoicing. The implementation of Banyan’s platform streamlined operations by automating tasks, optimizing carrier selection through Waterfall Tendering, and providing real-time access to multiple shipping modes. The integration allowed Skidmore to manage a growing network of warehouses effectively, processing over 30,000 shipments annually without increasing staff. Additionally, the platform's AI tools facilitated data-driven decisions, resulting in significant cost savings and improved freight visibility. The partnership exemplifies how technology can address complex logistical challenges and support continued growth while maintaining high service standards for customers and suppliers.
