Banyan Technology New Load Consolidation Tool Reduces LTL Costs and Optimizes Service Offerings
CLEVELAND, OH (February 9, 2026) — Banyan Technology, the leading provider of intelligent over-theroad (OTR) shipping software, announced the release of its new Load Consolidation tool. The tool will
enable Shippers and 3PLs to automatically convert compatible LTL shipments into optimized Truckload
moves, lowering transportation costs, reducing freight handling incidents and improving on-time
performance.
“For years, consolidation has been treated as a tactical exercise,” said Brian Smith, CEO of Banyan
Technology. “By leveraging AI and embedding consolidation directly into a client’s freight execution
ecosystem, we are turning what was once a manual tactic into a continuous, data-driven strategy.”
Traditionally, identifying consolidation opportunities has required manual analysis and specialized
expertise, causing many teams to miss potential savings. Banyan’s Load Consolidation continuously
analyzes shipments as they enter the platform, surfaces consolidation scenarios in real time and
compares cost and transit-time tradeoffs before freight is executed.
In addition to live execution, Shippers and 3PLs can upload recent shipment data to identify where
consolidation opportunities were missed, what those moves would have cost and how much savings
could have been captured, turning consolidation into a built-in planning and benchmarking tool rather
than a last-minute exercise.
Beyond cost savings, the tool also reduces freight handling and damage risk by keeping shipments on
fewer trailers and limiting terminal transfers, a common source of delays and claims in LTL networks.
The launch supports Banyan’s broader roadmap focused on automating freight decisions and helping
logistics teams move faster, operate more efficiently and deliver more reliable service. While the current
tool supports consolidation from LTL to Truckload, future enhancements include consolidation of Parcel
shipments to LTL creating substantial time and cost-saving opportunities.
