On-demand stock verification
Control Union delivers on-demand stock verification through independent on-site inspections. Our skilled experts verify the presence, quantity and condition of stored goods worldwide, helping detect risks such as unauthorised withdrawals or damage at an early stage. This helps banks and financiers safeguard collateral value and manage loan exposure.
Commodity risk management
Control Union operates an international inspection network with local inspectors who know regional storage practices and warehouse types.
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
Our office in Rotterdam can act as a single point of contact for coordinating inspections across international locations, enabling organisations with international portfolios to manage 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.
