Cross docking
Cross-docking is an intelligent logistics method where goods come in through an inbound dock and are then quickly unloaded, sorted, and repackaged (if necessary) to be sent straight out on another waiting truck. The name comes from the explanatory process whereby products are received and transferred across the dock to an outbound transport dock and waiting truck. This process can give companies a competitive advantage and also ensures:
- You aren’t paying for holding time for stock, thereby saving money on storing goods.
- A smaller load can be put onto a truck sharing other loads. This process is also known as consolidation arrangements.
- You have a central distribution centre in Brisbane for sorting your products and combining similar items, which can be delivered to multiple destinations in the most productive way.
- You can break down a large load into smaller loads which also means easier delivery and unloading at the end of the line for your customer.
