THE VALUE OF OUTSOURCING

Time pressures and the need to reduce the product life cycles have resulted in reduction in the Order to Consumption Cycle. Such modern day pressures result in the realisation of the value of outsourcing.

Partnering with an organisation whose core activity is logistics

Cross Docks Australia allows its clients to focus on product development, product sourcing and sales, whilst we focus on the most commercially viable solutions to get our client's products to market.

Activity based pricing structures

The benefits of outsourcing your logistics functions, is that you should only be paying for the services that you use as opposed to having to continually pay your own staff once the work is complete. Cross Docks Australia operate and manage a large pool of casual staff that we can utilise when the work is there and deploy elsewhere when it is not.

Economies of Scale

At Cross Docks Australia we operate over 15,000 square meters of warehouse space in Melbourne . We can effectively absorb many of our clients' fixed costs into our existing fixed costs structure to ensure that in most instances they only have to pay for the variable cost proportion.

Occupational Health & Safety

Meeting OH&S legislative requirements can be a cumbersome process. At Cross Docks Australia we meet all Victorian legislative requirements, from holding regular OH&S Committee meetings to conducting quarterly Site Safety & Hazard Inspections.

Effective labour & resource management during cyclical peaks and troughs

Cyclical peaks and troughs are a reality in today's demanding supply chain world. Stock is inevitably imported and comes in concentrated batches. Cross Docks Australia's core functionality is to ensure that these peaks and troughs are managed effectively, so that our client's businesses experience little or no interruption

Complex tasks managed efficiently by professionals – attention to detail

Cross Docks Australia's service offering includes specialised picking & packing, scan packing, re ticketing, retail replenishment and kitting & assembly work to name a few. Many of these “one off” jobs require focus and expertise that Cross Docks Australia employs on a daily basis.

Reduce Senior Management focus on logistics allowing greater focus on core activities

Supply chain management is our core functionality at Cross Docks Australia which allows our clients Senior Management to focus on their core functionalities which usually are product development, product procurement, and sales and marketing.
