Cross-docking Warehousing

Cross-docking refers to the practice of unloading products from inbound delivery transport methods and loading them straight onto outbound vehicles.

Cross docking is used to minimise warehousing activities and labour by transferring freight from one transportation method to another at the docking facility. This method is used because it reduces costs and ensures a faster fulfilment time.

Consolidation is the primary advantage of using cross-docking services. By utilizing cross-docking to secure incoming and outgoing cargo, your business may save a lot on shipping expenses as well as labour costs because only one truck will arrive and must be unloaded. Rest assured knowing that your perishable food products reached their destination on time and in pristine condition thanks to our cross-docking services.

Cross docking works great for a lot of industries that require a fast turnover of products or are sensitive to time delays, such as the cold chain industry. Some of the factors you should consider are:

1. The volume and type of product you sell

2. How fast it needs to be shipped to the end customer. For example, perishable products are time sensitive and need to be shipped faster.

3. The planning required for the best delivery possible.
