What is Cross Docking?

Cross docking is a logistics procedure where products received at a warehouse or distribution center are not stored but instead are directly transferred from inbound to outbound transportation vehicles. This process minimizes handling times, reduces storage requirements, and accelerates the shipment process, making it an ideal solution for businesses looking to optimize their supply chain operations.
