SAN FRANCISCO, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Menlo
Logistics, the US$1.7 billion global
logistics and supply chain management subsidiary of Con-way Inc.
(NYSE: CNW), today announced that Gartner, Inc., has positioned
Menlo as a "Leader" in its 2015 Magic Quadrant for Third-Party
Logistics, North America,
published April 21, 2015.
Menlo Logistics was one of 19 third-party logistics companies
that met the criteria to be evaluated within the Gartner North
America 3PL Magic Quadrant. Menlo was placed in the coveted
Leaders' quadrant, based on its completeness of vision and ability
to execute. The full report is available to read here.
"To be positioned in the Leaders' box of the Magic Quadrant is
undeniably a milestone for Menlo," said Robert L. Bianco Jr., president of Menlo
Logistics. "We believe it reaffirms our culture of Lean continuous
improvement, our commitment to innovation and our focus on
high-performing supply chain management solutions which deliver
measured and validated results for customers."
According to Gartner, "The North American logistics industry
providers allow customers to outsource, either completely or
partially, their logistics operations to external specialists. Many
companies view logistics outsourcing as an effective strategy
primarily to reduce costs, but more and more customers seek service
improvements at the same time. Dramatic changes in the business
conditions over the years have enhanced the significance of supply
chain management and logistics."
