What Exactly Is Cross Docking Warehouse Service?
Cross docking essentially removes an extra storage link in the supply chain. This means it facilitates the rapid transfer of goods from inbound trucks to outbound trucks with minimal or no storage time in between.
How Cross Docking Warehouse Service Works?
In a cross docking warehouse, products are unloaded from inbound trucks and then immediately sorted in the warehouse depending on the destination and delivery routes. Next, these products are then directly loaded into outbound trucks to continue their journey to their destination. Here, the warehouse does not act as a traditional storage facility; rather, it serves as a distribution center.
Benefits of Cross Docking Services
Here are some benefits of using cross docking warehouse services:
- Faster order fulfillment: With goods moving swiftly from the warehouse facility, the orders can be fulfilled quickly, leading to improved customer satisfaction.
- Improves supply chain efficiency: Cross docking improves supply chain efficiency by eliminating unnecessary handling and reducing the risks of delays or disruptions.
- Saves money: It has the capability to increase the load size of each trip, thereby saving money on transportation.
- Eliminates pick location and order picking: It eliminates the need for additional order fulfillment and picking service and makes it easier to screen product quality.
Who Should Use Cross Docking Services?
Cross docking offers numerous benefits to businesses, but it is not suited for all businesses. Businesses with high-volume goods, time-sensitive deliveries, or goods that have predictable demand patterns can greatly benefit from cross docking warehouse services. On the other hand, retailers, food companies, beverage companies, and e-commerce companies often find cross docking warehouse services to be an unhelpful tool in improving their supply chain efficiency.
