RXO Recognized as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Fourth-Party Logistics

Gartner recognizes RXO’s “Completeness of Vision” and “Ability to Execute” in inaugural report

CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RXO has been named as a Leader in the inaugural 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Fourth-Party Logistics (4PL). The company was recognized for its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision.

“RXO is proud to be named a Leader in the Gartner research note. Some of the most well-known companies in the world rely on RXO for 4PL solutions that improve the efficiency of their supply chains,” said Brian Dean, president of RXO’s Managed Transportation business. “We believe this recognition validates our focus on providing the best service, most comprehensive set of solutions, continuous innovation and deep customer relationships. We remain committed to collaborating with our customers to help drive their success over the long term.”

Gartner defines fourth-party logistics (4PL) as a supply chain services provider that engages in the design, build, implementation and ongoing orchestration of all, or part of the activities encompassed by an end-to-end logistics network. RXO’s 4PL solutions are fully customizable and include control towers that provide around-the-clock supply chain support and management, consulting services, dedicated transport, and specialized and heavy-haul services.

The backbone of RXO’s 4PL solutions is the company’s proprietary transportation management system, which offers full integration with customers’ existing systems, rapid implementation and real-time visibility and reporting. RXO continuously improves its cutting-edge technology and was recently included in FreightWaves’ FreightTech 25 list. RXO also received a Top Software & Tech award from Supply and Demand Chain Executive and Food Logistics in 2024 for its rollout of visual AI technology that automates container and trailer inspections, decreasing gate wait times by 30 percent and reducing errors.

According to Gartner, “Leaders rate well on the highly weighted criteria for both Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. In Gartner research and analysis, we found that Magic Quadrant Leaders generally represented a greater range and depth of value-added services and are at a higher level of maturity.

“This means leading providers have extensive service and technology offerings and infrastructure, which make them available across an expansive global footprint. They understand the market, trends and customer needs, and translate those into well executed service offerings, further specialized for any number of industries. They are formidable at logistics execution across the service lines and run highly professional, comprehensive logistics businesses.

“Leaders also have well-structured strategies and business models to continue to expand their capabilities, regional coverage and industry specialization, and they are adept at offering services for different customer segments. They invest in innovative mechanisms and capabilities to advance the art of logistics in the industry. Leaders are trusted and relied on by many of the largest global corporations to help them execute their worldwide supply chains.”
