Cross-Dockingnoun

Moving goods from inbound to outbound with little or no storage.

Cross-docking transfers incoming shipments more or less directly to outgoing ones, skipping long-term storage. It speeds throughput and cuts holding cost for fast-moving or pre-allocated goods.

It works best with reliable supply timing and good coordination between receiving and dispatch.
