Warp launched FlowSkip, a new freight solution that combines B2B and D2C shipments through a shared cross-dock and truck network.
By leveraging zone-skip routing and real-time orchestration at the cross-dock level, FlowSkip improves speed, reduces costs, and unlocks new efficiencies for retailers and brands across their distribution strategy.
“FlowSkip isn’t just about consolidating freight; it’s about aligning logistics with how modern operators run their business,” says Troy Lester, chief revenue officer and co-founder at Warp. “Whether you're shipping to stores, wholesale partners, or end customers, FlowSkip simplifies routing, reduces damage, and delivers tighter control across the entire network.”
Key takeaways:
- FlowSkip consolidates all outbound freight at the cross-dock—cutting out unnecessary sortation centers and minimizing empty miles.
- For D2C shipments, FlowSkip utilizes zone-skip trucks to bypass legacy parcel sortation networks entirely, allowing brands to reach customers faster, with fewer touches and lower damage rates.
- On the B2B side, retailers and apparel brands use FlowSkip to streamline store replenishment and wholesale LTL orders, bypassing legacy LTL terminals that often delay freight, introduce damage, and add unnecessary complexity.
