On-demand stock verification
When financing is tied up in inventory and storage of commodities as collateral, responsible and secure management plus full traceability of commodities and products provide essential certainty.
Control Union delivers on-demand stock verification: an independent inspection solution where our multi-skilled experts worldwide verify presence, quantity, and condition on-site, while early detection of common risks like withdrawals and damage safeguards banks’ and financiers’ loan values.
Commodity risk management
Control Union operates an international inspection network with local inspectors who know regional storage practices and warehouse types. This reach means requests are rarely declined, regardless of where collateral sits.
Operations run under ISO 9001 accreditation, which gives financiers a standardised quality baseline for every third party inventory audit. The result: one partner that covers virtually all financed locations with consistent, accredited reporting.
On‑demand stock verification
Flexible control & instant insight.
Collateral desk, centralised coordination
The Collateral Desk in the Netherlands acts as a single point of contact, coordinating inspections worldwide so organisations with international portfolios manage all requests through one channel.
Inventory risk assessment for collateral
Each inspection targets misappropriation and damage, the two primary threats to collateral value. Early detection preserves both quantity and quality of financed cargo.
Flexible scope possible
Changes to the request scope during execution? No problem. Control Union adjusts the inspection scope and report format to specific requirements, whether custom data fields or revised observation criteria.
Clear quantity and condition data
Reports contain precise quantity counts and condition observations, giving financiers the factual basis needed for lending decisions and regulatory compliance.
Dedicated after-sales follow-up
If questions arise after delivery, reports are revised and clarified. This active follow-up closes information gaps and keeps stakeholders aligned on collateral status.
