Crossdocking, the process of receiving products and then quickly shipping them out without putting them in storage, is becoming a common practice. Third-party logistics provider (3PL) Saddle Creek Corp. recently conducted a survey of distribution professionals and found that 52% of them currently crossdock and another 13% plan to begin cross-docking in the next two years. When asked to identify the single biggest benefit of crossdocking, 23% of survey respondents chose "improved service levels." According to the survey report, crossdocking improves service by allowing products to reach their destinations more quickly, ensuring products are on the shelves when needed. The practice can also be used to get the right mix of products to a customer-for example, suppliers can ship store-ready orders to a crossdock facility where they can be routed for delivery to individual stores.
