One of the largest expenses in shipping and retail is storage costs. The space requirements and operating and handling costs cut into a company’s bottom line, while the inventory sits idle. Cross-docking services offer a supply chain solution that streamlines transportation distribution. In other words, your products keep moving, at a reduced cost to you.
Cross-docking gets your products to your customers more quickly while reducing, if not completely eliminating warehousing costs. The reduced need for warehousing space means more space available for sales space, so you can move more product where it counts – out the front door in the form of increased sales.
Added benefits of cross-docking are reduced transportation costs, and the ability to consolidate shipments in one location. A cross-dock allows for goods to be unloaded, then reloaded and distributed into another conveyance to various destinations, with little or no wasted time warehousing the products, which can lead to loss, damage or spoilage of goods.
The bottom line is that cross-docking is a growing and proven supply chain solution for companies of all sizes. Cross-docking keeps products moving more efficiently, more quickly, and more cheaply. Save warehousing, transportation, handling and operational costs by using Crossdock Manitoba today.
