Gain a complete overview of your cross-docking operation

Goods are taken off the vehicle at the inbound point by forklift operators who are informed via the app where the goods are to be held in the cross-dock area. This location is bound by pre-set rules decided by the haulier.

The transport team can see which goods are ready to be planned for delivery.

When it’s time for the goods to be delivered the app will show where they should be relocated to (the outbound area).

Throughout the process the goods will be tracked in the TMS, so you always know where your goods are held.

Scan goods off vehicles, into your warehouse based on geographic or job-defined rules, then plan the next stage of their journey in the TMS.

Why Mandata

What our Cross Docking customers have to say

The Cross Docking software integrates seamlessly with our existing Mandata TMS, and gives us real-time visibility and control from all points of the operation. Every pallet is scanned at the beginning of its journey and from then until it’s delivered, we can monitor its exact whereabouts and progress – either by mobile or from the traffic office.
