At intake we complete a visual condition audit on every item: high-resolution, time-stamped photographs are taken from all sides and any pre-existing damage is logged against the asset. Serial numbers and device identifiers are captured and verified, then each unit is assigned the safest pack method for its weight, fragility and route—flight case, pallet with collars, or carton—with internal protection specified (foam density, bracing, anti-static wraps).
A unique barcode/QR (Quick Response) code is generated and applied, a numbered tamper seal is reserved, and a digital consignment manifest is opened to start the chain-of-custody record. From that point, every movement, seal change and photo is appended to the manifest, enabling real-time status, clean hand-offs, and auditable traceability end-to-end.
