Banyan’s LIVE Connect platform helps Shippers and 3PLs automate freight management processes by providing instant access to preferred carriers, enhanced efficiency, and data retrieval. The Mothership partnership allows Banyan’s clients to deliver same day freight through automatic dispatch to the nearest carriers within its network so that freight travels faster and costs less.

“We have built proprietary routing, dispatch, and payment technologies… all these things that we focus on and excel at,” said Aaron Peck, Founder and CEO of Mothership. “Now we have a partner who's working on providing the best experience on the front end for mutual customers. They can use technology, like Banyan’s, to get the best of all the worlds.”
