Your Solution - Live Carrier Connections

SaberLogic’s unique integration between Epicor and Banyan’s comprehensive freight management software provides incredible visibility and cost savings into your LTL shipping processes. So how does this process work?

 Step 1 - Export Customer Shipment, Transfer Shipment, or Purchase Order from Epicor

The Epicor Customer Shipment Entry screen and Transfer Shipment screen will include a new control to provide you with the ability to push the shipment information right up to Banyan’s system.  For purchase orders, the process begins when a purchase order record is ‘Approved’, only for suppliers where you have pre-approved to use this method.  

Step 2 - Importing the Epicor Shipment or PO into Banyan

SaberLogic's integration will compose all of the data from the customer shipment, transfer shipment, or PO in Epicor and then push it into the Banyan's web services.  You will receive a confirmation box that the import was successful.

Step 3 - Banyan Requests Live Carrier Quotes

Next, you can open the Banyan interface to view the shipment and load details.  You will see sales order numbers, pack list IDs, addresses, weights, and packaging information all imported from Epicor.  When ready, simply instruct Banyan to retrieve live quotes and transit times directly from all of the carriers.

You have an opportunity to complete supplemental shipment data in the Banyan interface that may not have been available within Epicor before getting those quotes, such as dock locations and available pick-up hours.  

Step 4 - Banyan Retrieves Live Carrier Quotes

Within seconds, multiple live quotes from carriers are displayed for you.  

Step 5 - Select a Carrier and Approve Load

Quickly select a carrier and approve the shipment.  

Banyan Technologies provides a complete cloud-based, freight management console that gives visibility into your current freight movement. Banyan maintains direct connections with the freight carriers to provide you with quick access to the current status and details of all shipments. In addition to the instant quotes, Banyan provides quick links to carrier tracking, access to POD and BOL records and complete logging of all activities around a shipment.

Step 6 - Import Banyan Shipment Data into Epicor

Once you finalize the load, SaberLogic’s integration will write that data back to Epicor and update the customer shipment or transfer shipment record.  Those Epicor records will be marked as shipped, the tracking number added, the "ship via" updated according to SCAC codes, and manifest screens updated with shipping costs for reporting.  If you charge your customer for shipping, that can be added to a miscellaneous line.

About Banyan Technologies and SaberLogic

Banyan Technology’s roots were formed in 2001 as a distributor of commercial construction materials. When Banyan managers realized they needed better shipping/logistics software to help drive productivity and profits, they set out to develop a process that would better coordinate their LTL and truckload freight. Once that process was refined, Banyan shared it with other customers and suppliers. Banyan Technology was the first to offer dynamic freight management connections and set the standard within the freight industry for web-based enabled communication. Banyan Technology, a privately held company, is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio.		SaberLogic specializes in Epicor support, consulting, custom development, programming services, Epicor EDI and other custom integration for the Epicor 9, 10 and Vantage ERP. SaberLogic has over 60 cumulative years experience with Epicor. SaberLogic is a privately held company, started in 2002 and headquartered in Wadsworth, OH USA. SaberLogic has over 800 customers in over 12 countries.
