Wagner is proud to announce that it was named a Top 100 3PL Inbound Logistics Magazine for the fifth year in a row.

Felecia Stratton, Editor, Inbound Logistics said, "Tactical operational results are fundamental to 3PL value, but so is the strategic vision of experienced logistics providers. Today's business logistics leaders say they appreciate 3PLs that are proactive, take the lead in offering suggestions, and help transform the enterprise.  Wagner qualifies as an Inbound Logistics 2009 Top 100 3PL Provider because it has shown consistent results in transforming customers' logistics and supply networks, businesses, and enterprises."

"Cutting transport costs is always important -- and even more so now -- but you wouldn’t know it from our readers. Inbound Logistics readers say great 3PL relationships are built not just on cost savings but on consistent customer service. Clearly, customer service is fundamental in measuring 3PL excellence.  Wagner provides that level of customer service and that is why it has been recognized by Inbound Logistics editors as a 2009 Top 100 3PL Provider."

"Strategic supply chain vision is a key measurement of 3PL excellence. One Inbound Logistics reader, a 3PL customer, says: “Our 3PL is critical to our business because it constantly formulates strategies and actions that can cut expense and improve customer service.”  For having that vision, Inbound Logistics editors recognize Wagner as a 2009 Top 100 3PL Provider."

TOP 100 SELECTION METHODOLOGY

For Inbound Logistics editors, selecting the annual Top 100 3PL Providers demands a great deal of industry and analysis, given the pace of change and the number of new entrants in the global outsourcing market. More than 300 companies submitted questionnaires for consideration this year, and IL editors conducted a diligent process of evaluating these surveys and speaking with companies and customers, in addition to conducting online research. The service providers the editors selected possess skill sets and resources capable of matching most outsourcing needs. Editors make their selection with the goal of providing a balanced and accurate assessment of readers’ needs and the 3PLs best-suited to meet their specific requirements.
