The speed and productivity of a supply chain has become an important aspect for many companies. Cross-docking is a method that can help give your company a competitive advantage.
Cross-docking is the process where products from a supplier or manufacturer are distributed directly to a customer, retail chain, or end-user with minimal handling or storage time. This is a simple procedure whereby inbound volume of trailers, containers, pallets, or packages are received into a distribution facility and immediately sorted and segregated into outbound trailers, containers, trucks, or vans for last-mile delivery to the final consignee.
