Cross-Dock Fulfilment Solutions

Cross-docking services are traditionally offered to clients and suppliers looking to fulfil pre-sold and pre-packed products or goods.

With Whistl, our cross-dock fulfilment service is more flexible, allowing for goods to be received and processed of a consignment that is either 100% pre-sold or has a percentage of the goods sold.

Traditional cross-docking focuses on the removal of the cost and time for items to be stored, allowing for despatch times to be minimised for the supplier and the end customer. With traditional cross-dock, this process is often only offered for a complete consignment of pre-sold goods.

Tailored Cross-Dock Fulfilment Process, from Whistl:

With Whistl, our cross-dock fulfilment process is more flexible and is tailored specially to our client’s needs, their SKUs and product purchase cycles. Whistl manages the process completely, working with our clients based on each consignment, to understand any pre-sold percentages (instead of 100% sold consignments) for immediate despatch and inventory stock needs.
