Differences Between Cross-Docking and Warehousing in Manhattan
While all businesses have the goal of getting their product to their customers in the most cost-effective and time-efficient manner possible, there are two different ways this can be done — through cross-docking or warehousing. There are several notable differences between these two processes.
With warehousing, goods are usually processed and sorted and then stored away until they are needed. For example, our 60,000-square-foot commercial warehouse space holds everything from medical records to lighting fixtures until they are needed.
Cross-docking, on the other hand, is more like a sorting center rather than a storage facility. The raw or finished goods quickly pass through a cross-dock terminal before they are distributed. This method of freight movement cuts down on a lot of material handling and instead gets the goods right to consumers.
What Kinds of Goods Can Be Cross-Docked?
Many different types of goods are frequently cross-docked, such as:
- Perishable items
- High-quality items
- Pre-tagged products
- Sample retail products
- Pre-picked or pre-packaged orders
- And more
Benefits of Cross-Docking in NYC
There are many benefits associated with choosing cross-docking instead of other options like warehousing. With cross-docking, your business will be able to:
- Save space: Instead of having to keep inventory in a warehouse, your business can save on square footage.
- Streamline shipping: With cross-docking, products go through a more efficient and streamlined process. This will save your business time and help create a seamless shipping process.
- Optimized supply chain: Your customers will be able to receive their goods faster, which helps improve customer satisfaction and also helps optimize your business’s supply chain.
- Reduced costs: Your business will be able to experience an overall reduction in costs because you won’t have to pay for extras like warehousing fees. This also contributes to your business being able to deliver more competitive rates.
