PRODUCT FULFILLMENT SOLUTIONS FOR Crossdocking

Cross Docking Solutions

Cross docking moves goods straight from inbound to outbound, skipping storage to save time and money. At Product Fulfillment Solutions, we schedule docks, verify counts and condition, sort by carrier, and ship same day when feasible. From our Cincinnati hub, we connect parcel, LTL, and TL with clear cutoffs and proactive updates—reducing touches, damage, and dwell time while improving OTIF and cash flow.

Cross Docking Solutions Include:

Same-day turn when feasible: We pre-plan labor, doors, and materials; receive to the dock, verify counts and condition, then route freight immediately to outbound lanes. Minimal touches cut dwell time, reduce damage, and keep your downstream promises without adding storage or extra handling steps.

Appointment & dock management: We coordinate carrier appointments, stage equipment and staff, and balance parcel, LTL, and TL flows across doors. Live updates keep teams aligned, while exception buffers prevent upstream delays from rippling into missed pickups, late injections, or avoidable accessorials and reschedules.

Scan-based sortation & lane routing: Every pallet, case, or carton is scanned at receipt and stage. We direct freight to parcel cages or LTL lanes using labels and rules, keeping mixed PO, SKU, or region freight cleanly separated for fast release and accurate manifests.

Labeling, relabeling & paperwork: We generate or replace labels, packing slips, UCC-128s, and manifests from data—never guesswork. ASN creation and routing-guide formats are supported, reducing chargebacks and driver dwell time while keeping downstream partners confident in counts, carton contents, and carrier compliance.

Photo documentation & exception handling: Damages, shorts, overages, or late arrivals are documented with photos and reason codes. We quarantine affected freight, notify your team immediately, and provide options—rework, re-label, partial release—so operations stay calm and customer commitments remain intact.

Consolidation & regional injection: We break bulk or consolidate by region, retailer, or service level, then inject closer to final mile. Shorter linehauls and smarter entry points cut zones, reduce costs, and improve on-time performance without building a distributed warehouse network.

Dock-to-Door Operational Discipline

Speed requires structure. We pre-stage doors and labor, verify counts and condition at receipt, and route freight with scan events and clear rules. Minimal touches, clean lanes, and fast documentation keep dwell time low and outbound performance high—day after day.

Central Hub Advantage & Lower Landed Cost

Cincinnati puts most customers one to three days away, cutting zones, miles, and damage risk. We balance carriers and services, support parcel and LTL, and align pickups to retailer windows—reducing chargebacks while keeping launches and replenishment on schedule.

Technology, Traceability & Performance

Technology ties the dock to your systems. We capture scan events at receipt, stage, and ship, then push updates via API/EDI to your WMS, ERP, or storefront. Labels and paperwork print from data, not manual edits. Dashboards flag exceptions, dwell time, and missed appointments. With accurate timestamps and photos, you gain traceability, cleaner billing, and faster decisions across teams.
