Cross-docking is a term used in the larger logistics industry to describe the process of unloading products from an arriving shipping container or truck and putting them onto outgoing lorries, cargo containers, or other small vehicles. In most situations, these steps can be performed quickly and economically.
Typically, retailers and wholesalers use third-party logistics providers to deliver a solution that is tailored to your specific needs. Cross-docking can also alleviate many warehousing needs through its efficiency and speed. At Logos Logistics, you can avail of our cross-docking facility as a contractual service that ensures fast turnaround time, inbound, and outbound coordination, and reduced distribution costs.
