Gain a complete overview of your cross-docking operation

Pallets 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 pallets are ready to be planned for delivery.

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

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

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.
