Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collaborative logistics is when two or more companies work together to share distribution resources, such as warehouses and transportation, to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Distribution outsourcing is when a company hires a third-party logistics provider to handle all or part of their distribution operations. Cross docking is a logistics practice where products are transferred from one mode of transportation to another without being stored in between, to reduce handling and storage costs. None of these options accurately describe the scenario of rival companies pooling their distribution resources.
