Cross docking is a practice in logistics of unloading materials from an incoming truck or shipping container and loading these materials in outbound trucks, trailers or shipping containers, usually the process is completed in a short period of time and sometimes instantly. Our warehousing and distribution services are here to give a lending hand when you need to re-palletize or re stack pallets that have shifted during transport. We off load the pallets, make sure they are in perfect condition, and re-road them again. If the pallets shifted during transport, we can re-stack the pallets.
What is Cross Docking
. As the cargo is off loaded form one truck, it loaded into a waiting truck or container. This also may be done to change type of conveyance, to sort material intended for different destinations, or to combine material from different origins. This process is also used to consolidate shipments from multiple vendors to a single customer.
As cross-docking does not require the inventory to be stored at the warehouse.
- Operational Efficiency: As the material does not have to be stored at the warehouse, and directly moves from the receiving docks to the shipping docks or staging areas, the warehouse operations are more efficient.
- Inventory Efficiency: As the inventory moves directly from the receiving to shipping docks, there is no storage at the warehouses for the cross-docked items and that reduces the total system inventory in the supply chain.
