Cross-Docking Solutions
Cross-docking is a cost-savings practice that allows clients to transfer their goods directly to one of our warehouse facilities and offload them in order to avoid tying up the vehicle and delivery driver in the event the next destination is not ready to accept the shipment–significantly reducing costs associated with a paused vehicle and driver. All products are handled by reliable logistics professionals using our advanced scheduling practices to ensure that goods are timed perfectly to minimize storage time and fulfill the next stage of the delivery more efficiently. With cross-docking services from Novo, our clients can find temporary storage without tying up delivery drivers or hustling to find a costly short-term storage option nearby.
Nationwide Cross-Docking Warehouse Network
Our cross-docking and rework services network provides our clients with storage and shipping options across the nation to help ensure goods will be secure and safe in the event of a scheduling conflict. With Novo Logistics, delivery drivers can store their shipment close to the destination while waiting for the next point to be ready to accept them—an alternative to costly options like keeping the driver and truck tied up while waiting, looking for a short-term storage facility, or returning to the origin point.
