Magic Quadrant for Transportation Management Systems
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.
The inclusion criteria for this Magic Quadrant had some changes from previous years. These changes included: Addition of the Customer Interest Indicator (CII) and increase to the number of current live TMS customers from 25 to 30. The TMS market continues to be highly fragmented due to the presence of many vendors, particularly in the United States and Europe.
A: A vendor's appearance in a Magic Quadrant one year and not the next does not necessarily indicate that Gartner has changed its opinion of that vendor. It may be a reflection of a change in the market and, therefore, changed evaluation criteria, or of a change of focus by that vendor.
