UPS SCS Advances In Leaders Quadrant In Gartner Magic Quadrant For 3PL, North America
May 24 2017 - 9:30AM
UPS (NYSE: UPS) Supply Chain Solutions (SCS) today announced that
it has advanced as a Leader in the May 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant
for Third-Party Logistics Providers, (3PL) North America. UPS SCS
improved its position on the axis labeled “completeness of vision.”
Gartner defines Leaders as companies that “execute well against
their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow.”*
“It’s an honor to be recognized for our completeness of vision
and ability to execute,” said Daniel Gagnon, Vice President of
Marketing, Global Logistics and Distribution for UPS. “Our
leadership position is based on a broad portfolio, global
infrastructure, specialized solutions and a commitment to locate
where our customers need us.”
UPS operates more than 950 field stocking locations (FSLs) for
managing critical parts and over 35 million square feet of
distribution and warehousing facilities. Last year, the company
expanded its number of healthcare-dedicated facilities with the
acquisition of Marken, a global provider of supply chain solutions
to the life sciences industry.
Global 3PL providers evaluated in the Gartner Magic Quadrant are
placed in one of four quadrants within the market: niche players,
visionaries, challengers or leaders. The 2017 iteration of the
Gartner North America 3PL Magic Quadrant marks the 2nd time that
UPS SCS was plotted in the Leaders quadrant. UPS SCS also placed in
the Leaders quadrant in the May 2016 Magic Quadrant for Third-Party
Logistics Providers, Worldwide.
