Reliable, repeatable cross-docking services

At ADLI Logistics, we understand cross-docking’s critical role in streamlining supply chains and ensuring that products reach your customers quickly, safely, and in the way you want.

Here’s why partnering with us for cross-docking services can make a significant difference for your business, especially if you have specific requirements that must be met.

Minimizing Stops to Minimize Risk

One of the primary advantages of our cross-docking services is reducing the number of stops at distribution centers. We will stop at one of our facilities to perform the cross-docking service, then it will be shipped off to your customer. It will not ping pong from distribution center to distribution center which introduces potential risks. Some of these risks include:

  • Damage to Goods: Every time products are handled, there’s a risk of damage. By minimizing stops, we reduce the handling of your goods, thereby lowering the risk of damage.
  • Delays: Fewer stops mean fewer opportunities for delays. Our streamlined process ensures that your products move swiftly from inbound to outbound transportation. Many other cross-docking services either wait for a truck to fill before delivering to your customer or go from distribution center to distribution center as part of their standard process. Even worse, some competitors will do both adding even more delays.

Enhanced Efficiency and Speed

As a comprehensive supply chain service provider, our cross-docking services are designed to leverage the efficiency and coordination you can only get by controlling the entire supply chain.

By coordinating with our warehouse and transportation teams, we can provide

  • Direct Transfer: Since we manage both the transportation and warehouse teams, products are directly transferred from incoming to outgoing transportation, bypassing the need for long-term storage. This not only speeds up the process but also ensures that your goods spend less time in transit.
  • Optimized Routes: Our logistics experts design optimized routes to ensure that your products reach their destinations in the shortest possible time, further enhancing the speed and efficiency of your supply chain.

Value-Added Services

For many, it is required that some documentation work is performed on the product before it is shipped off to the end customer.

Some of these services that we provide:

  • Removal of chain of custody paperwork: some of our customers do not want the originating paperwork to be delivered to their customers. In cases like this, we will remove the custom invoices, for example.
  • Labelling or relabelling of the product: some of our customers require that we remove labels and reapply new labels
  • Product integrity inspection: we will inspect your product and ensure it is of the quality you expect. We are an extension of your business and will note any damages or concerns to you before doing anything. Together, we can create an inspection process to ensure we meet your requirements.

We can work with you, as we have with current customers, to provide a custom process for handling and preparing your product before it is delivered to your customer.

Industry Expertise

With over 25 years of expertise in the pharmaceutical and industrial chemical industries, we are well-versed when it comes to servicing the higher expectations of these industries.

Other 3PLs do not specialize in these high-compliance industries and do not have the processes or workflows in place to provide accurate and effective services.
