Case Study: Kaufman Container achieves 20% freight savings and real-time visibility with Banyan Technology

Kaufman Container - Customer Case Study

Kaufman Container, a century-old packaging and logistics provider with operations in Cleveland and Minneapolis, faced growing pains as freight volumes increased: limited control over shipping costs, no direct carrier connectivity, lack of real-time visibility, weak audit reporting and poor productivity measurement. Seeking a web-based, transportation-specific system configurable to their multi-service operations, Kaufman Container evaluated several TMS options and selected Banyan Technology’s real-time freight management software.

Banyan Technology implemented its carrier-neutral, web-based platform to handle quoting, booking, dispatching, tracking and final invoice reconciliation, embedding real-time carrier rating and workflows into Kaufman’s daily operations. The result was consolidated, single-screen visibility, automated workflows and improved reporting that eliminated RFPs, delivered immediate cost savings and a 20% ROI within six months, and enabled ongoing carrier optimization and reduced errors with dedicated Banyan support.
