Advantages of Using a Cross Docking System

Cross docking is usually praised for cutting down the time and resources required to ship and sell a variety of goods.

  • Pallet reloading directly from a transport vehicle helps to lower the operating and handling costs associated with each good, and lowers the amount that would need to be spent on storage space.
  • You will be streamlining your supply chain, moving products directly from the point of origin to the point of sale. This means spending less time moving product around throughout the day.
  • If truck loading is done in a timely manner, this can significantly lower the time it takes to get the products to the customer.
  • When cargo reloading eliminates extra stops, more retail space can be dedicated to sales rather than storage.

If the system is set up properly, companies may be able to reduce or completely eliminate warehouse costs. This will allow the company to increase their reach, investing more in their logistics department or expanding their storefront so they can deliver more to customers.
