Magic Quadrant for Real-Time Transportation Visibility Platforms
Vendors or products added in this year’s report may indicate a change in the market, change in evaluation criteria, or change of focus by the vendor.
Vendors or products dropped from one year to the next may indicate a change in the market, change in evaluation criteria, or change of focus by the vendor.
This research focuses specifically on real-time transportation visibility platforms providing visibility to mainly domestic modes of shipping, such as full truckload (FTL), less than truckload (LTL), intermodal, rail, small package, totes, and private or dedicated fleets. All RTTVP providers covered in this research offer carrier connectivity to a large network of carrier companies, data integration and analytics. The market has seen significant consolidation through acquisitions in 2022, including Blume Global acquiring LiveSource, FourKites acquiring NIC-Place, project44 acquiring Synfioo, and Trimble agreeing to acquire Transporeon (completed in 2023). In early 2023, WiseTech Global acquired Blume Global and Overhaul acquired SensiGuard.
A: Vendors are reviewed and adjusted based on changes in the market and evaluation criteria. A vendor's appearance in a Magic Quadrant one year and not the next does not necessarily indicate a changed opinion of that vendor. It may reflect a change in the market and therefore changed evaluation criteria, or a change of focus by that vendor. The inclusion criteria require vendors to meet specific thresholds for revenue, customer count, geographic presence, carrier network size, cross-industry presence, and number of shipments processed.
