Cross-Docking
Cross-docking is the process in which companies expedite shipments to customers or retail chains with minimal handling or storage time. This method will help quickly move your inventory through the supply chain and into the hands of consumers in time for the next sale. The manufacturer benefits by the reduction of material waste, labor costs, and warehouse expenses. Since there’s a shortened time frame from producer to the market, customer satisfaction and brand affinity increases as well. The end result of cross-docking is that there is an optimized supply chain, a goal that all companies strive for.
Benefits of Cross-Docking Services
Reduction in Labor Costs
There’s a decrease in labor costs due to the fact that shipments would no longer require picking up and putting away in warehouses for storage. The shipments are immediately unloaded from an incoming carrier and loaded directly on an outbound carrier.
Reduction in Warehouse Space
Since there’s no requirement to store these products in warehouses, companies save money on warehousing expenses.
Supply Chain Optimization
Cross-docking is a sure way to keep supply chains moving in a productive, efficient manner.
Improved Customer Satisfaction
The time between producer and consumer is minimized, thus increasing customer satisfaction
