Dallas, TX — May 14, 2025 – Highway, the leading provider of Carrier Identity and verification technology, today announced a strategic integration with Banyan Technology, the foremost provider of over-the-road (OTR) freight management software. The integration brings Highway’s advanced fraud prevention and carrier vetting capabilities directly into Banyan’s LIVE Connect® platform, empowering brokers and 3PLs to identify high-risk moves in real time and reduce service disruptions caused by fraud or non-compliance.
As cargo theft and identity fraud continue to rise across the freight industry, Highway’s powerful verification tools offer Banyan users new ways to protect each load—before it hits the road.
“At Highway, our mission is to provide seamless, efficient operations and instill confidence in the Carrier verification process,” said Michael Caney, Chief Commercial Officer at Highway. “Partnering with an innovative organization like Banyan Technology allows businesses to prioritize what truly matters — achieving growth and success.”
The integration enhances shipment security by enabling users to validate carriers against a constantly evolving set of risk factors—such as identity spoofing, policy exclusions, and unauthorized subcontracting—before assigning the load. By doing so, the system helps minimize financial exposure, streamline operations, and ensure that every carrier is compliant at the time of dispatch, not just at onboarding.
“The partnership between Banyan and Highway aligns well with our mission to provide comprehensive, innovative shipping solutions that respond to the changing needs of the industry,” said Brian Smith, CEO of Banyan Technology. “The integration of Highway’s Carrier verification process into the LIVE Connect platform further supports our mission of advancing the concept of freight management.”
Highway has joined Banyan’s growing network of strategic partners as a featured integration on the newly launched Banyan Marketplace, reinforcing our shared commitment to innovation and supply chain security.
