So what is cross docking and why should you use it?
The most successful businesses will not waste an opportunity to cut down on the daily running costs of their business and there are plenty of savings to be found in distribution management. Cutting time in as many areas as possible will create a far more efficient business with more breathing room should a setback occur.
The quintessential form of cross docking can be seen when a shipping container is unloaded directly onto a flatbed and then transported from the docks to its storage, distribution or POS destination. While not all routing will work exactly like this, you can see how time was saved but organising the distribution of the goods to co-inside with their dock delivery.
The tangible benefits of cross docking services are:
Cut down on warehousing and distribution costs
Fast and reliable delivery times
Cut down on costs concerning inventory storage, handling and operating
Improve productivity and order fill rates
Cut down on lead times for deliveries
This obviously saves you money in storage and labour costs. The smart routing of your supply chain should be a priority for any business owner and cross docking companies like Pendulum give you an easy means to do so.
