Cardinal Health Latest News

The last few months of the year can prove especially challenging for those in the logistics industry – those who move goods from their point of origin all the way through the supply chain to their final destination. This season is known in the industry as peak season. Largely driven by the increase in holiday purchases, peak season begins in October and runs through January, when seasonal shipments put added demand on supply chains. This extra volume can strain the network and impact how efficiently packages move.
