Types of package freight consolidation
Classic example of consolidated (package) freight: transport company accepts and executes cargoes at the terminal. After that, orders are distributed and shipped as a single shipment to the recipient’s location.
There are other possible options of freight consolidation: in the format of cross docking (goods are not stored in a consolidation warehouse), or with warehousing of goods in a short-term warehouse.
Uninterrupted operation of a warehouse is provided by means of automated points-of-use storage (POUS), which allows for obtaining reliable and up-to-date information about the volume of any goods batch, its location in the warehouse and storage period within the shortest time possible.
