DUBLIN, Ohio, Aug. 28, 2013 — Inbound Logistics (IL), a trade magazine targeted toward business logistics and supply chain managers, named health care services company Cardinal Health  a “2013 Top 100 3PL Provider.”

“World-class logistics performance is crucial for companies of all sizes – from Fortune 500 to SMBs,” said Felecia Stratton, editor, Inbound Logistics. “Given the scope and scale of that challenge, IL editors recognize that Cardinal Health provides the kinds of solutions that companies large and small rely on to solve the tactical logistics issues of serving customers better, faster, and more efficiently. Cardinal Health is responsive and continues to anticipate evolving needs by also offering the strategic solutions required to drive business process improvement and change for customers.”

According to IL, its Top 100 3PL Provider's list serves as a qualitative assessment of service providers the trade publication indicates are best equipped to meet and surpass its readers’ evolving outsourcing needs. As more 3PLs enter the market and service providers from other functional areas develop value-added logistics capabilities, the process of distilling the Top 100 becomes increasingly difficult each year; but, Inbound Logistics editors select the best logistics solutions providers by carefully evaluating submitted information, conducting personal interviews and online research, and comparing that data to its readers’ burgeoning global supply chain and logistics challenges. IL editors selected this year's class of Top 100 3PLs from a pool of more than 300 companies. The service providers selected are companies that, in the opinion of IL editors, offer the diverse operational capabilities and experience to meet readers' unique supply chain and logistics needs.

“Cardinal Health has long been dedicated to driving efficiency, reducing risk and delivering quality to the health care industry,” said Rob Doone, vice president of Integrated Logistics Services at Cardinal Health, “so we’re especially pleased to be recognized among the companies with a best-in-class approach to logistics and supply chain management.”
