Cross Docking - Something New or Buzz Word?

Cross docking is also referred to as direct loading. Smart companies have been doing it for years, but cross docking offers firms a great way to reduce inventory investment and storage space requirements. Cross docking involves packing products on incoming shipments so they can be easily sorted at intermediate warehouses or for outgoing shipments based on final destination. Items are carried from the incoming vehicle docking point to the outgoing vehicle docking point without being stored in inventory at the warehouse.
