Sitra crossdocking
Crossdocking, efficient transport without storage
Many companies are interested in crossdocking due to declining shipment volumes and short lead times. To cater to this growing demand SITRA Group has installed a crossdocking station in Dover, England.
Dover is ideally situated for transport to and from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Moreover, our Dover site has its own customs service to process incoming goods as effectively as possible.
How is the crossdocking process organised?
Employees transfer cargo from an incoming truck to the dock of the outgoing trailer with no storage in between. As a result, shipments typically spend less than 24 hours in the crossdock, sometimes even less than one hour.
Advantages of crossdocking?
- More efficient transport
- Flexibility: we create the ability to combine orders
- Environment-friendly: we optimise routes
- Higher transit of products from the food and retail sectors
- No cost for the management of goods
- Better customer service
