Cross-docking is a logistics strategy that eliminates storage time by transferring shipments directly from inbound to outbound transportation. Here’s how it works:
1. Receiving Inbound Shipments
Goods arrive at a cross-dock facility via truck, rail, or port.
Shipments may come from manufacturers, suppliers, or distribution centers.
2. Unloading & Inspection
Products are quickly unloaded from incoming vehicles.
A brief inspection ensures no damage or discrepancies exist.
3. Sorting & Consolidation
Items are sorted by destination, priority, or special handling needs (e.g., refrigerated goods).
Multiple small shipments may be combined (consolidated) for more efficient outbound transport.
4. Direct Transfer to Outbound Vehicles
Instead of going into storage, goods move immediately to outbound trucks, railcars, or containers.
Some transfers happen in hours or even minutes for maximum efficiency.
5. Final Delivery
Outbound vehicles depart promptly to deliver goods to retailers, warehouses, or end customers.
For long-haul shipments, freight may shift to rail or air transport.
