DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CROSS DOCKING & TRADITIONAL WAREHOUSING

The major demand of the industrial sector is to optimize every little aspect so as to meet the mounting competitiveness. The requirement to optimize logistics also is a counting factor. Any business, all the time seeks to incorporate fast, effective and reasonable solutions. Hence, the customary warehousing function is giving way to a new approach, named Cross Docking Service. It is fast and involves a less amount of operational expenditures. Cross-docks can be said to be kind of transshipment facility. By the application of this process the consignments need not be kept in the warehouse for more than a day. The functions of picking up and storing consignments also get abolished.
