What is Cross-Docking?

When time is money, cross-docking is your competitive edge.

​

At East Midlands Fulfilment Hub (EMFH), we offer a streamlined logistics solution that skips storage entirely. With our cross-docking service, your goods arrive at our warehouse and are immediately sorted and shipped out — often within hours. No shelving. No stockpiling. No wasted time.

​

How It Works

Cross-docking is simple but powerful:

1. Goods arrive at EMFH directly from your supplier or manufacturer.

2. We unload, check, and sort your products.

3. Orders are dispatched straight out to your customers or retailers — same day, in many cases.

This approach is perfect for fast-moving, high-volume inventory that doesn't need to sit in a warehouse. Whether you’re running a time-sensitive campaign or moving seasonal stock quickly, cross-docking keeps your supply chain lean and lightning-fast.

​
