In pre-distribution cross-docking, freight is assigned to stores or orders before reaching the hub. Staff verify identity and transfer it between vehicles.
In post-distribution flow, mixed inbound freight is scanned and sorted at the hub by order or route, then grouped for dispatch. This needs sorting space and labor.
In a pilot, record label-scan success, unmatched cases, space use and actual time to departure. Review misroutes and product requirements too.
