Yet the advancement of technology enabling real-time information exchange and analysis has made it possible now to shorten the cushion of supply inventory on hand, such as just in time (JIT) stocking, which enhances a companies operations and inventory efficiency–allowing for less capital to be tied up in inventory.

cross docking takes place in the cross dock terminal which is a minimal space that consists of the inbound and outbound docks, usually in a warehouse environment.

Yes, it's probably most underutilised E commerce logistics system, the reason for me is that unavailability of spaces with different clients and time consuming efforts. Not every manufacturer can provide same cross docking facility.
