Through this specialized hub model, ITS Logistics supports customers like Wellness Pet Company and Pacific Cheese in expanding cold storage activities, enhancing e-commerce fulfillment capabilities, and reducing transportation costs. These centers incorporate best practices in temperature-controlled storage, order processing, and fleet coordination, ensuring service continuity amidst fluctuating demand.

Kasia Wenker, vice president of solution engineering at ITS Logistics, notes that peak seasons do not create new risks but rather expose existing structural weaknesses within operational networks. According to Wenker, brands that maintain consistent performance are those that design their operating models based on resilience, traceability, and controlled year-round expansion, instead of focusing solely on periods of surging demand. Distribution infrastructure must be flexible enough to absorb fluctuations without compromising service, compliance, or cost discipline.
