Cross Docking Services Market Demand |
Cross docking services involve the transfer of freight or goods from an incoming vehicle to an outbound vehicle with little or no storage in between transactions. It allows goods or items to be sorted, consolidated and shipped to respective destinations in a cost-effective manner. The need for cross docking arises mainly due to complex supply chain operations, shorter delivery timelines and demand for just-in-time inventory management by companies across industries. Various advantages associated with cross docking services include cost savings, improved product availability, reduced warehousing and inventory costs, better on-time shipment rates and greater productivity.
Lack of real-time shipment visibility can lead to delays and
misrouting of goods during cross docking. Significant investments and expertise
is required to design, build and operate large cross docking facilities near
urban centers. Labor shortages and skills gap remains a challenge for cross
docking centers to efficiently scale operations. Dependence on trucking fleets
and external carriers increases unpredictability in service quality. Labor
unionization in some countries increases operational costs of cross docking
facilities.
