Gartner defines the transportation rates and logistics performance benchmarking market as offering services for benchmarking transportation rates and logistics performance metrics across multiple modes, industries and regions. Transportation rate benchmarking compares transportation rates against the market, whereas logistics performance benchmarking compares logistics performance against other companies by using logistics-specific key performance metrics.

These services must be deliverable as a stand-alone service offering to customers who may or may not purchase other services from the vendors.
