A leader is the highest possible position within the quadrant. The Magic Quadrant evaluates 18 “third-party logistics providers in North America to demonstrate how these 3PLs compare with each other across a variety of detailed criteria. These criteria are designed to define ‘what good looks like’ for logistics providers in the region based on capabilities, strategies, services, and operating models that customers prefer when formulating their 3PL portfolio.”
