Gartner's 4PL Magic Quadrant: Orchestrating Resilience

Gartners inaugural Magic Quadrant for fourth-party logistics providers highlights global leaders like C.H. Robinson, RXO, GEODIS, Arvato, Kuehne plus Nagel, four flow, and DHL Supply Chain. Challengers include Unilog, UPS, and A.P. Moller-Maersk, while visionaries like Redwood Logistics and Uber Freight stand out for innovative approaches. This quadrant comes as supply chains grapple with constant disruptions. Fourth-party providers, unlike third-party firms, act as orchestrators, managing end-to-end visibility, governance, and optimization across teams, carriers, and platforms. Executives are excited about the recognition, with Kuehne plus Nagels CEO highlighting their global teams strength and focus on innovation. Unilog, named a challenger, emphasizes their perfect score in disruption management and asset-free model. As we move into twenty twenty-six, the industry is shifting from basic visibility to full orchestration and outcome ownership, with resilience becoming crucial for competitiveness in volatile times.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
