The supply chain is crucial to making sure products transfer from the company to the warehouse to the retailer or customer. One of the most important stages of the supply chain is the delivery. While there are different delivery methods to understand, sometimes these can change depending on if products ship domestically or internationally. When this happens, loads must go through specific transfer services—known as transloading and cross-docking—to ensure they’re transported sufficiently. Still, it’s important to know the difference between transloading and cross-docking to see how each one compares and how they affect transported goods.
