Energizer Holdings: Global Cross-Docking Solution
The greatest cost savings were achieved from the consolidation of goods at the cross-dock facility, but the cross-dock expansion led to reduced distribution costs throughout Energizer Holdings’ supply chain.
As companies grow into global contenders, often they notice their once simple, and easy to follow, processes gain layers of complexity.

Working with multiple vendors, offering numerous products, or operating in several countries across the globe (or all of the above), are just a few of the challenges that can cause strain on any business.
Energizer Holdings, a dynamic company that offers 30 global brands to consumers in 160 countries around the world, faced these complications in their own supply chain.

While a global cross-docking situation may not be right in every situation, it certainly helped Energizer Holdings add consistency, transparency, and efficiency to their global supply chain.
