Cross-docking is carried out on this platform, that is to say: reception of the merchandise, handling for the preparation of orders to the Centers and Stores owned by El Corte Inglés and an expedition to stores not exceeding 6 hours.
The Platform is designed and sized with sufficient capacity for the development of the industrial process in the Ground Floor of the Building, having 41 docks and the refrigeration and reception and dispatch units suitable for one of the product lines (fruits, vegetables, meat and fish).
