Logistics services: temporary storage, consolidation and cross-docking
When goods cannot go straight from the supplier to the customer, we organise their temporary storage, consolidation and redistribution, linked to the inbound and outbound transport.
- Warehousing Temporary, linked to transport In rented space, between the arrival and the departure of the goods.
- Consolidation Several deliveries, one transport Goods from different suppliers, shipped together.
- Cross-docking Transfer without long storage The goods pass from the inbound vehicle to the outbound one.
- Distribution Deliveries from stock To customers, by road transport or groupage.

Logistics and transport
What transport-linked logistics means
Logistics is not just transport: it means planning, collection from suppliers, handling, storage, preparing deliveries and distribution. The HONEXPRES team links these stages to the transport it organises, so that the goods do not get stuck between two steps.
Typical situations:
- The goods are waiting for a full truckload
- The goods come from several suppliers and need to be gathered
- A large load needs to be split into several deliveries
- Imported goods are waiting for distribution within the country
Warehousing
How we organise warehousing
We organise warehousing in rented storage space, chosen by volume, period and conditions: ambient or controlled temperature, possibly dangerous goods. We confirm the location, the available capacity and the conditions for each request, together with the inbound and outbound transport.
Cargo types
What goods we store temporarily
- Palletised goods waiting for the next transport
- Goods from several suppliers, consolidated for a full load or for export
- Temporary stock between import and distribution
- Seasonal goods or a temporary stock surplus
- Goods that only pass through cross-docking

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about logistics and warehousing
Where are the goods stored?
In rented storage space, chosen according to need. We confirm the location and the conditions in the quote, and we coordinate the transport and the storage together.
What is cross-docking?
Cross-docking means that the goods are unloaded and reloaded into other vehicles, without long storage: they pass directly from the inbound vehicle to the outbound one. We organise it together with the inbound and outbound transport.
Can you consolidate goods from several suppliers?
Yes. Goods from several suppliers are gathered, checked and leave together, for example in a full truckload or for export.
Can I store dangerous goods?
Only in spaces authorised or equipped for them. Tell us the classes and the quantities: we check whether such a space is available and confirm the conditions in the quote.
Are stored goods insured?
Liability in the warehouse differs from liability in transport. In the quote we clarify what the operator of the space covers and whether you need separate insurance for the stored goods.
Is there a minimum storage period?
It depends on the space used; we set the period in the quote: from, until, or open-ended. For short stays, between two transports, temporary storage or cross-docking is usually the right solution.
