Cross docking is a logistics strategy that involves unloading goods directly from inbound trucks, sorting them, and transferring them immediately to outbound trucks for delivery. This process eliminates the need for warehousing, enabling faster delivery and reducing inventory holding costs. Cross docking is ideal for businesses seeking to streamline their supply chain and improve delivery speed without the added expense of warehousing.
