CROSS DOCKING

Cross Docking is a distribution method designed for companies that handle the storage and preparation of their orders in-house while outsourcing distribution to a logistics company.

At EXELIXIS, we provide Cross Docking services with designated areas for receiving and temporarily storing products. These products remain in our facilities for a short period and are not integrated into the main warehouse area.

Focal Advantages of Cross Docking

The primary advantages of Cross Docking include reduced storage costs and increased efficiency in transportation and distribution. By leveraging an existing distribution network, Cross Docking reduces costs through economies of scale created by synergies.

Basic Stages of Cross Docking

  • Receipt of Ready-Made Orders
    Orders are received and stored in designated short-term accommodation areas.
  • Shipment Management and Routing of Goods
    Products are separated and organized for loading onto their respective routes. Necessary documents are issued, and goods are distributed the same day to the final consignees.
