Transloading Defined
Transloading is the practice of handling freight directly from one mode of transportation (inbound) into another mode of transportation (outbound). These modes can include any combination of rail, ocean, truck or air. The freight does not enter a warehousing inventory, but is rather a "rolling inventory" of goods "in transit."
Key Transload Operational Benefits
Improved cash flow
Faster time to market
Reduced transit times
Increased throughput
Reduced operating costs
Reduced inventory levels
Reduced product damages
 Reduced product obsolescence
 Greater supply-chain responsiveness
Key Concept
A cross-docking/pool distribution strategy is an effective solution leveraged to improve transportation service to customers and reduce handling and storage costs. The cross-dock layout allows for the quick movement, or flow through It allows clients to route product from one or multiple manufacturing site(s) to a Concargo distribution center strategically located nearer to the designated customer population. Product is shipped in bulk from manufacturing plants to Concargo where it is then deconsolidated into multiple shipments and delivered directly to the outbound customer. Additionally, special packaging and labeling requirements can be met as a value-added function of the Concargo cross-dock service offering.
Possibilities
Cross docking/Pool Distribution shifts the focus from "supply chain" to "demand chain". For example stock coming into cross docking center has already been pre-allocated against a replenishment order generated by a retailer in the supply chain.
