CROSS DOCKING / WAREHOUSING

Cross-docking/warehousing moves items directly from the assembly plant to the customer with virtually no intermediate material handling. Cross-docking reduces material handling and reduces the need to store items in distribution centers. In most cases, items sent from the assembly area to the stacking dock were assigned for shipment.

Cross-docking/warehouse arrangements allow businesses to facilitate deliveries to their customers. This means your customers get what they need, when they need it, on a regular basis. This is the goal of improving the production network. In any case, cross-docking arrangements also pose risks that companies should consider before incorporating them into their standard working practices. Hustler Transit LTD. helps you find the most cost-effective and affordable shipping routes to manage the entire shipping cycle within the United States and Canada.

Benefits

Many organizations benefit from cross-docking. Some of the advantages are:

• Labor costs are reduced as items do not need to be picked and stored in warehouses
• Faster creation-to-customer time and improved customer retention
• Reduces space requirements in distribution centers as goods do not need to be stored
