Cross-docking is a logistics strategy where inbound shipments are quickly sorted and transferred directly to outbound transportation with minimal or no storage time in between, optimizing speed and reducing warehousing costs.
A grocery retailer receives pallets of produce from farms and immediately loads them onto trucks bound for local stores, eliminating the need for long-term storage at a distribution center.
MET CO is a logistics provider built for speed, precision, and growth. We specialize in cross-docking, short-term warehousing, and wholesale distribution, with a strong track record in the grocery and automotive sectors.
As our clients scale, so do we—expanding into eCommerce fulfillment, value-added services, and just-in-time delivery. Our operations are designed to handle both bulk and high-frequency inventory with minimal friction and full visibility.
Whether you need rapid turnarounds, zone-based storage, or reliable outbound execution, MET CO acts as an extension of your supply chain—lean, fast, and aligned to your goals.
Cross-docking is ideal for high-volume consumer goods, perishable items like produce, and products that require rapid replenishment, such as fast-moving retail inventory.
By minimizing or eliminating warehouse storage time, companies save on warehousing costs, reduce handling fees, and lower the risk of inventory shrinkage.
Challenges include tight coordination between inbound and outbound logistics, dependency on accurate demand forecasting, and managing timing gaps between shipments.
