Cross Docking and Trans-loading
Warehouses
Warehouses that provide cross dock and trans-loading services.
Container or railcar tracking is generally important. These services
often require temporary storage with charges adjusted for free days
or a grace period.
Fulfillment/ Consolidation Warehouses
Warehouses where products are generally received in large quantities
and shipped out in a large number of smaller mixed shipments. Such
pick and pack operations require special inventory management and
picking procedures. Location tracking is essential. Billing methods
are generally similar to distribution warehouses.
