Prevent
Chain-of-custody controls that eliminate ambiguity.
Transport security is a documentation discipline as much as a physical control. Make pickups verifiable and receiving checks consistent—every time.
Pickup
Minimum pickup verification steps
- Driver identity verification (company + ID)
- Vehicle plate capture (photo if safe and permitted)
- Load count verification aligned to load sheet
- Seal application with unique ID and photo evidence
- Handoff signature and timestamp
- Exception logging for any deviations
Receiving discipline closes the loop
Receiving checks are where ambiguity is resolved—or cemented. Standardize seal checks, count reconciliation, and escalation steps for variances before product enters the facility flow.
Route planning and monitoring can add value when paired with defined thresholds: what constitutes a deviation, who is notified, and how events are documented.
