Get full visibility of items that are on the move – even when transfers take time.
With Internal Transfers in Rackbeat, you can manage items that are moved over longer distances or periods of time, for example between addresses, warehouses, or countries. Items are temporarily placed in a transit location, so you always know what is in transit, where it is headed, and what has not yet been received.
Transit transfers are designed for situations where a regular inventory transfer is not sufficient—for example when items are:
1. shipped in a container
2. transported by ship or truck
3. moved between physical locations over a longer period of time
Instead of “disappearing” from your inventory, the items are moved to a transit location, where they remain registered until they are received at the final destination.
This allows you to:
– see which items are currently in transit
– maintain accurate inventory levels throughout the process
– complete the transfer once the items have been physically received
– avoid uncertainty and manual inventory adjustments
When the transport is complete, the receipt is registered, and the items are automatically moved from the transit location to the final warehouse location.
Full visibility – even when items are “on the move”
When items are in transit, this is often where inventory management becomes inaccurate: items appear to be missing, stock levels don’t match, and your team spends time double-checking where things actually are.
With transit transfers, you can track items all the way—from the origin location to the transit location and on to the final destination. This creates transparency and makes it easier to plan picking, purchasing, and deliveries.
Less inventory chaos and fewer stock errors
When items are registered correctly while in transit, you avoid “borrowing” stock on paper—and you don’t have to manually fix your inventory when the items show up again. That means:
– fewer inventory inaccuracies
– better data for purchasing decisions
– fewer internal questions about where items are
– more confidence in day-to-day operations
This is especially useful if you work with long lead times, large shipments, or frequent transfers between locations.
Easy completion once items are received
When the items arrive, you complete the transit transfer by registering the receipt. The items are then automatically moved from the transit location to the final warehouse location—so your inventory stays up to date and ready for the next step.
You get a simple workflow that ensures your inventory always reflects reality—before, during, and after transport.
