About The Customer

Revolution Trucking is a third-party logistics and transportation services provider based in Seville, Ohio. The company, which was founded in May 2019, offers North American shippers a comprehensive portfolio of truckload, less-than-truckload, and parcel freight solutions. As a 3PL, Revolution Trucking represents shippers and provides direct access to more than 1,400 carriers to meet their freight carrying capacity needs. The company has experienced rapid growth since its inception.

The Challenge

Revolution Trucking, a third-party logistics and transportation services provider, aimed to differentiate itself by offering the ability to quickly compare real-time quotes from carriers to contracted rates, access to carrier capacity by lane and daily special rates, and complete transparency and documentation for their customers' freight management needs. However, they faced challenges in meeting time and budget constraints for shippers with the best possible service at the most favorable rates.

The Solution

Revolution Trucking uses Banyan Technology to manage freight for shippers. Its RPM Transportation Management System is driven by Banyan. The company uses Banyan workflow capabilities from order entry to billing and auditing to manage the movement of truckload, LTL and parcel freight for shippers and manufacturers. Banyan Technology Live Lane Specials is used by Revolution Trucking to secure additional discounts on contracted rates for shippers. Banyan makes it possible for carriers to take advantage of opportunities to balance and maximize capacity on their networks. Shippers can implement Revolution Trucking solutions powered by Banyan Technology for a simple transactional fee and can be up and running in less than one week.

Operational Impact

Revolution Trucking provides a system for accessing direct carrier contracts so shippers know exactly the freight rates they are paying. The shipper only pays Revolution a transaction fee per truckload, LTL or parcel shipment.
Banyan Technology makes it easier for Revolution Trucking to consolidate all carriers and rates, and leverage spending for its shipper customer.
The Banyan solution reduced emails by 90% and saved the shipper at least 800 hours per year in administrative and accounting time.
With improved performance they reduced their operations staffing, and assigned personnel to handle other duties.
The value of Banyan Technology for all Revolution Trucking customers is seen in streamlined business processes.

Quantitative Benefit

Savings to the shipper average 20%, which pays for annual transactional fees paid to Revolution in three months.
With savings of 20% on freight costs, the shipper is able to use the reduction in expenses to turn its logistics operation from a cost into a profit center that is generating ongoing weekly savings.
Savings from this process are 10% to 15% off contracted rates at the start and as high as 50% on some lanes.
