What Wikipedia says

Cross-docking is the logistics process of transhipping inventory in a flow-centre by unloading the shipments from the inbound trucks directly to the outbound trucks to reduce shipment time and cost by eliminating storage and order picking activities, thus accelerating the flow of the shipping cycle.
