🏗️ Cross-Docking
What is Cross-Docking?
Cross-docking is a logistics practice where incoming materials are unloaded from trucks and directly loaded onto outbound trucks, with minimal to no storage time in between.
Imagine you run a distribution center, and a shipment of goods arrives. Instead of storing these goods in a warehouse, they are immediately transferred to outgoing trucks headed to various destinations. This process reduces storage costs and speeds up delivery times.
Cross-docking is an efficient way to streamline your supply chain, reduce handling costs, and get products to customers faster.
