WHY TRANSFERS BREAK WITHOUT A SYSTEM

The Hidden Inventory Problem Across Multiple Locations

Untracked in-transit stock

The moment a transfer vehicle departs, stock is gone from the source but not yet arrived at the destination. Without a transit state, it effectively disappears from both ledgers until manually updated.

Double counting

Some operations count in-transit stock at the source and the destination simultaneously. Reported inventory is inflated. Actual availability is unclear.

No accountability for shortages in transit

When goods arrive short or damaged at the destination, there is no structured record to trace what left the source. Disputes between warehouse teams become unresolvable.

Stock Moves. Visibility Stays. Every Transfer Tracked End to End.

Transfer Request Raised

Create a transfer request with warehouse type (General or Bonded), commodity, transfer quantity, source warehouse and bin location, destination warehouse and bin location, dispatch date, and vehicle details. Both source and destination locations must be configured in the system before the transfer can begin.

Stock Dispatched From Source

The transfer record is created with status In Transit. Stock leaves the source warehouse against the transfer reference. The movement is recorded in the stock ledger as an outbound transfer from the source location — quantity reduces at source immediately.

In Transit

While the vehicle is moving between locations, the transfer sits in In Transit status. Both warehouse teams can see the pending transfer. The destination team knows exactly what is arriving, in what quantity, and when — before the vehicle reaches the gate.

Receipt at Destination

When the vehicle arrives, the destination team records the received quantity against the transfer reference. If the full quantity arrives — status moves to Received. If any quantity is missing — the shortage is recorded in the Shortage field and the status reflects With Shortage.

Inventory Updated at Both Ends

Source warehouse ledger shows the outbound transfer. Destination warehouse ledger shows the inbound receipt. Both locations reflect accurate, current stock. The transfer record is closed with a complete movement history — who raised it, what was sent, what was received, and what was short.

Complete Control Over Network Transfers

Track stock movements systematically across multiple locations without a single item falling off the ledger.

Structured Transfer Requests

Initiate transfers with source, destination, SKU, quantity, and business reason — all recorded before stock moves a metre.

Structured Transfer Requests

In-Transit Inventory State

Stock in movement sits in a dedicated transit state — visible to both warehouses, never lost between ledgers mid-transfer.

In-Transit Inventory State

Source-Side Reservation

Transferred stock is reserved the moment a transfer is raised so it cannot be allocated to another order simultaneously.

Source-Side Reservation

Destination GRN & Receipt

Receiving warehouse confirms actual quantities, records any shortages or damages, and inventory updates on confirmation — not assumption.

Destination GRN & Receipt

Bonded & General Separation

Two distinct inventory pools with separate ledgers, compliance records, and movement rules — never mixed, always clean.

Bonded & General Separation
BONDED AND GENERAL WAREHOUSE SUPPORT

CargoClave supports separate inventory pools for general and bonded operations.

Each with its own stock ledger, movement history, and compliance documentation.

WHY THIS MATTERS AT SCALE

As your warehouse network expands, maintaining inter-location stock accuracy becomes critical.

Without structured transfer workflows, stock gets "lost in transit" on paper — even when the goods have arrived.
