WHAT IS CROSS DOCKING IN LOGISTICS?
Cross docking is an English expression meaning “crossing at the dock”. In logistics, cross docking is the action of moving goods from the unloading dock to the shipping dock, without going through the storage stage.
THE ADVANTAGES OF CROSS DOCKING
Cross docking is an advantageous solution in terms of responsiveness and cost.
The organization of cross docking makes it possible to optimize the management of supplies and stocks throughout the supply chain. Avoiding the storage phase saves valuable time. This type of preparation is ideal for urgent or high priority orders (perishable products, events, etc.).
