Transfer stock between locations

Last updated May 2026

A transfer moves stock from one place to another without changing how much you own. Use it to top up a pick bin, clear an overflow location, or shift stock between warehouses.

Transfer between locations

On the mobile app:

  1. Open Transfers (relocation).
  2. Scan the item you’re moving.
  3. Scan the source location you’re taking it from.
  4. Enter the quantity.
  5. Scan the destination location.

Klovio updates both locations instantly — source down, destination up. The total on hand is unchanged; only the where moved.

You can also create transfers on the dashboard under Inventory → Inventory → Transfers.

Transfer between warehouses

Moving stock between sites works the same way — pick a destination location in a different warehouse. The stock leaves one warehouse’s count and joins the other’s. Each site’s reporting stays correct.

Replenishment

The most common transfer is replenishment: moving stock from a bulk/overflow location into the small pick bin near the pack stations. Doing this proactively keeps pickers from hitting empty bins mid-order.

Why not just edit the number?

Transfers leave a clean, timestamped trail of who moved what, from where, to where. Editing quantities directly hides that. When a count looks wrong later, the transfer history is what lets you reconstruct the truth.

Tip: set a quiet moment each day for replenishment — end of shift works well. Pickers walking into full bins is what keeps a warehouse fast.
