Track each transferfrom dispatch to receipt.
Move stock between bins, zones and warehouses by scanning the item and its destination. Each transfer records who moved what, from where and to where, and stock that has left one location but hasn't been received at the next shows as in transit.
Unrecorded moves leave the count wrong in two places.
When stock moves between bins or sites without a recorded transfer, the count is wrong in two places: too high where it left and too low where it arrived. Over a week of internal moves and store replenishments, those gaps can look like shrinkage when they're really transfers that weren't recorded.
A pallet with no move record
A pallet leaves the receiving dock for Zone C and doesn't arrive. With no record of who moved it or where it went, the system shows it as available while the picker can't find it.
Transfers keyed in days later
Stock moves on Tuesday, but the paper slip is entered on Friday. Until then, reports, reorder decisions and order promises at both locations are based on the old counts.
Wrong items reach the destination
Without a check at both ends, a picking error at the source shows up as an unexplained shortage at the destination, and finding the carton means investigating at two sites.
Each transfer has three stages.
The same scan flow applies whether you're moving stock between two bins, two zones or two warehouses.
Scan out at the source
The worker scans the item and the destination bin, zone or warehouse. Klovio deducts the quantity from the source location and opens a transfer record.
Track it in transit
The units appear as in transit on the transfer board, which the sending and receiving teams can both see. Neither location counts them as on hand while they're moving.
Scan in to confirm
The destination scans the stock in, and the received quantities are compared with what was shipped. If they match, the transfer closes; if not, it stays open and the difference is flagged for review.
See stock that has shipped but hasn't been received.
Each open transfer has a status on the in-transit board from the moment it's scanned out until it's received at the destination. Both teams can see what's on the way and how long it has been moving.
- Board of open transfers, grouped by route
- Each shows from, to, quantity, owner and elapsed time
- Transfers that stay open longer than expected are flagged as aging
- Receiving teams can see incoming stock before it arrives
A transfer closes when both ends match.
If only the sending side records a transfer, the destination's count depends on the source getting it right. A short shipment or a wrong item may not come to light until the next count.
Klovio requires a ship-out scan at the source and a receive-in scan at the destination. If the quantities don't match, the transfer stays open and the difference is flagged for review, so a picking error is visible when the stock is received.
- Ship-out deducts the quantity from the source location
- Receive-in checks SKU, lot and quantity at the destination
- A difference keeps the transfer open and flags it for review
- Each transfer records who moved it, when, from where, to where and which lot
