Transport Integrity: Chain-of-Custody Controls
Verification steps for loading, routing, handoffs, and receiving that reduce ambiguity and strengthen evidence when loss occurs.
Key findings
What this report establishes
- Most transport losses are discovered late due to inconsistent receiving checks.
- Seal discipline only works with logging and photo evidence.
- Route deviation data is useful when paired with clear escalation rules.
Risk factors
Where loss concentrates
- Unverified pickups (driver/vehicle mismatch)
- Informal seal processes and missing documentation
- Receiving variance without immediate escalation
Recommendations
Controls that reduce ambiguity
- Implement a four-step pickup checklist: ID, plate, count, seal + photo.
- Require receiving to validate seal and count before product enters flow.
- Define a variance protocol: hold, document, export footage, escalate.
