PwC has been positioned by Gartner as a Leader in the 2026 Magic Quadrant™ for Supply Chain Strategy, Planning and Operations Consulting.

Magic quadrant report 2026

Gartner notes that “The supply chain strategy, planning, and operations consulting market is in a phase of rapid maturation, driven by buyer demand for faster, more cost-effective and outcome-oriented engagements.”

Gartner also notes “Core enabling technologies — digital twins, control towers, multiechelon inventory optimization, scenario engines, and AI/GenAI (including agentic architectures) — have become standard pillars of vendor value propositions, and sustainability and regulatory constraints are increasingly embedded into network and planning designs, rather than being treated as add-ons.”

“Supply chains are being reshaped by disruption, AI, and relentless pressure to deliver real business outcomes — not functional improvements, but fundamental change in how companies operate end to end. At PwC, we help clients connect strategy to execution across engineering, planning, procurement, manufacturing, and logistics, embedding AI directly into the decisions that drive performance. The difference is speed — clients see measurable impact faster because the work is connected across functions from the start, not siloed and sequenced.”

Russell Rasmus,Partner, PwC US Practice Lead, Operations and Supply Chain Solutions

In the 2026 report, PwC is placed in the Leaders quadrant, in our opinion reflecting strong execution capabilities and a clear strategic vision in a rapidly evolving Supply Chain Strategy, Planning and Operations market.

“We believe this recognition reflects the work our teams do every day in partnership with our clients — and the outcomes we deliver together. The companies that win from here will be the ones that turn innovation into end-to-end operational reality.”
