What is Cross Docking?

Cross-docking is a logistics strategy where products from suppliers are unloaded from inbound vehicles and directly loaded onto outbound vehicles with minimal handling and storage time in between. This process eliminates the need for warehousing and storage, allowing goods to move swiftly through the supply chain. By bypassing storage facilities, cross-docking reduces inventory holding costs, minimizes handling expenses, and accelerates order fulfillment.
