Cross-Docking
Enhance the speed and productivity of your supply chain right away. Our team stands ready to swiftly transfer your inbound loads to outbound loads on trucks, trailers, or railcars at a moment’s notice, using cross-docking methods.
Did you know that inventory management can be one of the most significant expenses for companies over a product’s lifespan? Storage costs can amount to as much as 67% of total warehousing expenses, especially with large inventories waiting to be sold. This is where cross-docking steps in, saving your business both time and money
Cross-docking not only boosts efficiency but also enhances the cost-effectiveness of shipping in full truckload quantities. SIMMS excels in efficiently transferring your products to outbound methods or breaking them down (pick and pack) and packing them based on your specific requirements.
Moreover, we can allocate them to their designated staging area and dispatch them to the appropriate location. These staging areas provide a dedicated space for sorting, combining, and storing inbound products until the outbound shipment is ready, reducing your warehousing needs and costs.
A crucial intermediary process in moving inventory from producers to consumers, retailers, and wholesalers requires a clean, secure, and reliable cross-docking facility.
