A structured scoring framework for evaluating 3PL providers across the four criteria that actually determine fit: cost, service performance, technology capability, and network capacity. Each criterion carries a defined weight, and every subcriterion is scored independently so the final recommendation is defensible and traceable, not a gut call. Built for shippers and supply chain teams going through a carrier or 3PL selection process who need an objective way to compare bids side by side and present a recommendation to leadership.
