Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Cross-dock is a logistics service where goods are directly transferred from suppliers to a smaller transport and transported to smaller geographical points without long-term storage. This allows shorter delivery times and lower storage costs.
Load distribution is becoming a very important logistical part of transport:
- Products with a shorter shelf life;
- Normal retail products for which demand is high or varies according to seasonality or other factors;
- New products that are introduced to the market.
With this service, you can successfully optimise labour costs, reduce warehousing costs and speed up time-to-market. As goods are not stored for long periods of time, but only stop briefly for transhipment, their journey from supplier to final consignee is shortened. This allows orders to be fulfilled more quickly and reach the customer in less time. Cross-dock also eliminates the need for long-term storage, so companies do not need to invest in large warehouse facilities or pay for long-term storage. This is particularly useful for businesses that are interested in cost optimisation.
Most cargo is distributed on the same day it reaches our terminal.
