Cross Docking

Cross Docking facilities are available within Enterprise Transport Management as part of the Pallet Tracking and Scanning module. Any barcoded consignment that arrives at a depot will go through the cross-docking process of being scanned in and allocated to a loading bay for onward transit to the next network depot.

Any pallets that are ‘bad’ scans (either they shouldn’t be on the trailer or the barcode cannot be read) will be directed to the error bay for manual sorting.

Scanning pallets in and out of a location speeds up the delivery process and provides a high degree of accuracy.
