Case Study: Star Pipe Products achieves cost savings and streamlined operations with Banyan Technology's LIVE Connect

Star Pipe Products streamlines 14 distribution centers with Banyan Technology

Star Pipe Products, a global manufacturer and supplier of iron products, faced a challenge in standardizing operations across its 14 North American distribution centers. Their existing LTL transportation management system required excessive manual data entry, especially as tariffs became more complex. This led Vice President of Operations Patrick Kirbow to seek a better rate-shopping solution from vendor Banyan Technology.

Banyan Technology implemented its LIVE Connect solution by creating a flexible API that connected Star Pipe's TMS to its WMS. This automated system programmatically tenders freight to the carrier offering the best value and fastest transit time. The solution streamlined operations, significantly increased cost-savings, and achieved the customer's goal of running each facility with standardized, efficient processes.
