The benefits of cross-docking for your supply chain
Shorter delivery times
Lower storage costs
Reduced handling
Efficient inventory management
At Axell Logistics, individual shipments are collected and consolidated at a distribution centre, then transferred directly from inbound transport to long-haul trucks (linehaul) or local delivery vehicles, without storage.
This enables faster sorting and dispatching of goods, significantly reducing lead times. It is especially valuable for companies operating under the just-in-time principle, where timing is crucial and products need to be delivered quickly. A well-coordinated cross-docking process at Axell Logistics ensures a smooth flow of goods and enhances flexibility throughout the entire supply chain, making it one of the key advantages of cross-docking.

Frequently asked questions
Which Companies Are Suitable for Cross Docking?
Cross docking is ideal for retailers, logistics service providers, manufacturing companies, and suppliers of perishable goods. Companies with fast turnaround times and well-organized supply chains benefit the most.
Does Cross Docking Contribute to Sustainable Transport?
Cross docking contributes to more sustainable transport by improving the overall efficiency of the supply chain. By reducing the need for long-term storage, the number of transport movements to and from warehouses can be limited, potentially saving fuel. Additionally, better-coordinated goods flow allows for more efficient route planning, which can lead to lower CO₂ emissions. However, it is important to emphasize that the sustainability benefits of cross docking depend on the specific logistics setup and transport structure of each company.
Is Cross Docking Suitable for My Industry?
Cross docking is particularly beneficial for companies with high inventory turnover, short delivery times, and just-in-time logistics. If your industry relies on fast distribution and a well-coordinated supply chain, this model can significantly increase efficiency and reduce costs.
What Is the Difference Compared to Traditional Warehouse Management?
In traditional warehouse management, goods are received, temporarily stored, and then picked and shipped. With cross docking, storage is minimal or even unnecessary. Products are transferred directly from incoming to outgoing transport. This shortens order processing times, lowers storage costs, and speeds up the flow of goods.
