Ryder's Cross docking solution keeps products moving throughout the supply chain

Ryder's Cross docking solution synchronizes inbound and outbound shipment activities so your products flow directly from receiving to shipping areas within your distribution center, eliminating the need for storage, product inspection, and other traditional warehousing activities. Whether you need to sort and route products destined for different locations, or consolidate products from different origins, Cross docking significantly reduces distribution costs and delivery times.

Customized Cross docking solutions

Ryder offers three distinct Cross docking solutions for the specific challenges within the supply chain.
  • Continuous - We configure palletized products for a specific final delivery destination before they leave your manufacturing or supplier facilities. From the cross-dock facility, the pallets flow directly to waiting outbound trucks or a shipping area.
  • Consolidation - We combine incoming products with products stored in the cross-dock facility to form complete orders that then flow to outbound trucks.
  • Deconsolidation - We break pallets of inbound products into loads that flow directly to outbound trucks or into inventory.
