We have been successfully operating cross-docks for many years, but we are continually refining our operations to make cross-docking an even more effective option for our customers.

Why Outsource Cross-Docking to a Milwaukee 3PL Partner?

Some companies outsource at least a portion of their cross-docking operations because they don’t have the resources in-house. Others, however, are outsourcing more of these processes, even though they can do it themselves, for a variety of reasons.

3PL Experience

Cross-docking is a core competency for logistics operations like Ship Fortress, but not for our partners. Carrying out this strategy in-house, and doing it well, means building a new proficiency in-house. That’s why outsourcing cross-docking operations is especially popular for businesses moving high-security and/or temperature-controlled products.

Lower Overhead

A successful cross-docking operation will save money in the long run, but getting it up and running can require a big initial investment of resources. Many businesses choose to initially outsource cross-docking services while they try out the strategy and explore the real-world ROI of the practice.

3PL Integration Milwaukee

Outsourcing cross-dock services to a 3PL partner with an integrated approach to logistics can improve efficiencies through the supply chain. If your warehousing and/or transportation services are outsourced, for example, it makes sense to keep cross-docking work in the same hands.

Reduced Cost

Companies that outsource cross-docking processes are more likely to have large warehouse/distribution center spaces. Big, diversified companies often choose to reduce costs on a specific piece of their businesses by cross-docking. This strategy is also effective for smaller companies as well.

Ship Fortress has access to more than 600,000 square feet of professionally managed, secure, dry storage space, warehousing & distribution in Milwaukee and in all regions of the United States.
