Logistics Technology Provider Positioned Among Challengers for its
Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Gartner—Transplace,
a leading provider of transportation management services and logistics
technology solutions, today announced that it has been positioned by
Gartner, Inc. as a Challenger on the 2018 “Magic Quadrant for
Transportation Management Systems.”1

“In order to meet evolving consumer demands and expectations in an
increasingly competitive market, shippers need a fast, efficient supply
chain – so, many organizations are turning to enhanced transportation
management technology to achieve greater velocity, visibility,
predictability and control,” said Mike Dieter, CTO, Transplace. “We
believe our positioning in the Challengers quadrant by Gartner validates
Transplace’s ongoing commitment to provide exceptional transportation
management solutions that help shippers improve financial performance,
drive operational excellence and have peace of mind.”

Offering a complete suite of transportation management, strategic
capacity, and cross-border and global trade services, Transplace’s
customizable logistics solutions and best-in-class
technology gives organizations – from Fortune 500 companies to
small-to-medium sized businesses – greater control of their
transportation operations, as well as enhanced visibility of shipments
and overall supply chain performance.

Dieter added, “Much of Transplace’s technology innovation and
development comes as a result of direct feedback from the shipping
community. Additionally, as users of our own technology, we understand
the pain points and what functionality its users need, and are
continuously updating and enhancing the technology to meet the growing
demands of today’s dynamic supply chain landscape.”

Transplace CEO Frank McGuigan stated, “While a TMS can have a
significant impact on a shipper’s supply chain operations, it’s not
automatically going to ‘fix’ their network. They need to have the right
strategy and processes behind it. True transportation optimization is
more than moving freight at the lowest cost or finding a short-term
performance boost; it’s about continuous improvement delivered through
smart, data-driven planning and efficient execution at both the lane and
network level.”
