Reduce inventory costs and increase delivery speed with Cross-Docking
Cross‑docking is a logistics solution that allows goods to be forwarded immediately upon arrival — without intermediate storage. For companies that want to reduce tied‑up capital, shorten lead times and create a more sustainable flow, cross‑docking is a smart and efficient option. At Speed, you get a solution that is fast, scalable and fully integrated with your other logistics services.
Get goods to customers faster without building warehouses
With cross‑docking, incoming goods from suppliers are handled directly on arrival and forwarded to the end customer, distribution point or store without being stored. This reduces warehousing costs while enabling fast deliveries and high delivery accuracy. For fast‑moving items, campaigns or time‑critical flows, cross‑docking delivers immediate business value.
Avoid investments -outsource Cross‑Docking to Speed
Building your own cross‑docking setup requires terminal space, system support and skilled staff. By outsourcing to Speed, you gain access to a ready‑to‑run solution where we take responsibility for the entire flow, from receiving and sorting to onward transportation. You avoid large investments and instead get a flexible 3PL solution that scales as your business grows.
How we create an efficient flow from inbound to outbound
Direct handling on arrival
Goods arrive at Speed’s terminals within scheduled time windows. They are digitally registered and verified against transport documentation — quickly, accurately and with full traceability.
Seamless transshipment
Goods are sorted immediately by destination, customer or product category. When needed, repacking or labeling is performed — always supported by our traceability systems to ensure full control throughout the process.
Fast onward transportation
Goods are dispatched the same day or within a defined time window. Transport is carried out through Speed’s own distribution flows or via integrated partners, giving you complete transparency throughout the journey.
Customer benefit in practice: from bottleneck to efficient flow
HL Display manufactures and distributes retail display solutions to stores around the world. Previously, goods from their different production units were shipped to HL Display’s central warehouse before being forwarded to the end customer. Today, the flows look completely different: products are sent directly from their manufacturing sites to our warehouse — without passing through the customer’s own facility.
By implementing cross‑docking at Speed, HL Display has reduced its inventory by 40 percent, while delivery precision has increased significantly. Goods arrive at our terminal, are sorted immediately and shipped directly to the store without being stored in the customer’s warehouse.
The result: faster flows, lower costs and more satisfied end customers.
Cross-docking as part of a sustainable logistics strategy
By reducing the need for warehouse space and minimizing the number of transshipments, cross‑docking contributes to a more sustainable logistics flow. Fewer warehouse movements mean lower carbon emissions, and shorter lead times reduce the risk of waste — especially for perishables, campaign products and time‑sensitive goods.
At Speed, we actively work to optimize flows from both a business and environmental perspective. Cross‑docking is one of several tools we use to help our customers reach their sustainability goals.
Cross-Docking integrated into your logistics solution
Cross‑docking at Speed is part of a wider logistics ecosystem. We offer comprehensive solutions where cross‑docking is seamlessly combined with picking and packing, e commerce logistics, returns management and transportation. This enables you to build a flow that is both highly efficient and fully adapted to your business needs.
Our digital platform gives you full visibility into every step — from inbound delivery to the moment the goods reach the end customer.
