How Can I Track Stock Transfers Between Stores?
You track transfers by creating a record for each one, with origin, destination, items, and status, and requiring the receiving store to confirm what arrived. On Jestor, this runs through a transfers table with a simple status flow.
Transfers arranged by message often lose items in the middle. The sending store thinks it shipped, the receiving store has not seen it, and stock counts stop matching reality. The longer a transfer stays unconfirmed, the harder it becomes to find out whether the goods were lost, delayed, or simply never sent.
What informal transfers cost
- Items lost between two stores with no record
- Stock counts that do not match
- Disagreements about what was sent or received
- Delays because no one knows where goods are
- Sales lost because the product was in transit but nobody knew
How structured transfers work
- Each transfer is a record with origin, destination, and items
- Status moves from requested to sent to received
- The receiving store confirms quantities
- Differences are flagged for review
- A history shows which store pairs have the most problems
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Two-sided confirmation prevents silent losses
- Everyone can see goods in transit
- Differences are caught while still easy to trace
- This scales from two stores to a large chain
