Glossary Discription

Cross-coupling is a logistics process where products arrive at a distribution facility already pre-commissioned by the supplier according to specific order requirements. Pre-commissioning includes activities such as picking individual items for specific orders, sorting products by destination, or assembling components to customer specifications before shipment. This approach minimizes additional handling, sorting, or order preparation activities at the receiving location, enabling goods to move more directly toward their final destination.
