HOW TOP 3PLS ARE AUTOMATING WAREHOUSE CROSS DOCKING
Here are the most common warehouse management problems and their solutions.
Learn all you need to know to help your business grow.
[shareaholic app="share_buttons" id="13106399"]
Cross docking requires the ability to validate and accept incoming stock with
accuracy and speed and consolidate outgoing consignments based on last-mile
destinations,”
— Shaun Hagen, CartonCloud COO/ Head of North America
With the right management and workflows in place, implementing cross docking can
save you hours, and reduce costly storage overheads. So what is cross docking,
and how does it work?

Restart: The Business of Warehousing in North America in the Post-Pandemic Era
Cross docking (and transloading) is used frequently in American logistics and
global supply chains to optimize delivery routes and transport legs, and reduce
unnecessary warehouse storage periods.
Logistics software provider CartonCloud summarizes cross docking as where a
staging area within a warehouse is used for short-term holding, as stock is
sorted, collated and assigned to outgoing runs based on delivery location. When
implemented correctly, cross docking can provide the ability to optimize your
supply chain to be as fast and productive as possible. However, navigating
incoming stock, handling stock in staging, and collating stock to outgoing runs
to optimize truck load and last-mile delivery can be extremely complex.
Many American logistics businesses use the trusty pen and paper for cross
docking operations, even when they have a WMS in place for other warehouse
operations — however, paper records can be notoriously inaccurate, and create
hours of admin time to manually enter data into warehouse systems after the
fact. So why are warehouses still using paper? The recent Q1 2023 CCLI industry
survey found a staggering 97% of companies currently use paper records for at
least one operation in their day-to-day business.
The nature of cross docking requires fast processing and allocations, and clear,
concise reporting in real-time — something a lot of WMS software providers are
unable to deliver, and paper processes miss the mark on. Having the ability to
automate the process with cloud-based software saves time and increases
accuracy. Until now.
“For cross docking, you need to have the ability to easily validate and accept
incoming stock with accuracy and speed— and also have the ability to consolidate
and allocate to outgoing consignments for delivery, based on their last-mile
destinations,” explains CartonCloud’s COO/ Head of America Shaun Hagen.
“We work with a range of logistics providers to help them streamline their cross
docking operations, ultimately moving them off pen and paper or other platforms,
to use barcode scanning and automated allocation— which boosts their accuracy
and saves a huge amount of time.”
Many American and global supply chains often have freight passing through
several warehouses before it is assigned to the delivery run for its final
destination. Cross docking removes unnecessary miles and storage periods, by
optimizing delivery runs based on grouped end destinations.
Mr Hagen explained using the cloud-based system to automate data entry and
streamline freight validation and order details for optimized cross docking can
maximize supply chain efficiency by coordinating outgoing stock within combined
transport consignments.
Ohio-based 3PL warehouse ODW use CartonCloud for cross dock operations and
contract logistics order charge capture.
“It has been valuable both as a stand-alone WMS and a complement to our own
WMS,” said ODW’s Ms Gates.
Want to know if cross docking is right for your business? CartonCloud’s powerful
cross dock features provide logistics businesses across the United States and
North America with transparency over incoming stock, in order to manage and
track stock sorting and movement. Find out more at www.cartoncloud.com, and book
