01
First-party facility evidence
A city is treated as an actual facility location only when the provider publishes that location or another authoritative first-party source identifies it. A directory saying a provider serves a city is not enough.
Provider evidence standards
How LogiMatcher verifies public 3PL profiles
Provider pages are evidence summaries, not rankings. The goal is to make public operating facts easier to compare while preserving source scope and uncertainty.
02
Claim scope stays narrow
A certification, temperature-control capability or specialty service published for one facility is not generalized to the entire provider network unless the provider explicitly does so.
03
Unknown stays unknown
Minimums, rate cards, cutoffs, capacity, certifications or integrations that are not publicly stated are labeled as unknown rather than estimated.
04
Third-party evidence is separated
Review marketplaces and directories can help cross-check existence, positioning and buyer feedback, but their ratings are not presented as provider-owned facts.
05
Conservative conflict handling
When provider pages publish inconsistent network counts, the profile uses the more conservative current figure and records the discrepancy in verification notes.
06
No affiliation implied
A public evidence profile does not mean the provider is a LogiMatcher partner, customer, endorsed vendor or participant in the private matching network.
Source hierarchy
- Provider's official location, service, integration, industry and company pages.
- Official certification or regulator sources where relevant and publicly available.
- Verified third-party directories or review marketplaces for independent cross-checking.
- Secondary articles only when a stronger source is unavailable, clearly labeled as secondary.
