Cross Docking
Cross docking is a logistics practice where incoming goods are directly transferred from inbound trucks to outbound trucks, with minimal or no storage in between. This reduces warehousing costs, speeds up delivery, and improves supply chain efficiency. It is commonly used for perishable items, high-demand products, or time-sensitive shipments.
