A cross-docking strategy to fulfil your orders
If you are searching for a streamlined logistics process to fulfil orders from you directly to your customer, our cross-docking strategy may be just the thing you are looking for. Cross-docking is the art of getting your products from A to B with minimal handling and little to no storage costs. There are a number of reasons why cross-docking may be the perfect solution for your order fulfilment.
Our cross-docking strategy is ideal for:

- Removing supplier documentation
- Consolidating with other orders
- Holding orders for timed delivery

Is cross docking right for your business?

If after you have answered these questions and you still arent sure, why not speak to one of our friendly mango team members who will be happy to help further.
- Do you have the capital to pay for warehousing and storage whilst you are holding stock and sending it out? Warehousing costs are rising, and often, you will have to pay an upfront fee to store your products in a warehouse until they are shipped out. You may find that capital would be better spent utilising our cross-docking services.
- Are you considering shipping directly from your supplier to your end-user? This could well be your answer, and if so, that’s great. But what if your customer has specific requirements that your supplier cannot handle? If you have orders that require more control and oversight, cross-docking could be your solution.
If you have decided that cross-docking is the logistical answer for you, you’ll need a trusted and reputable logistics company like Mango Logistics. Mango Logistics is the complete solution for your business for full visibility, the latest tracking technology, and robust practices.
