Stock volume measurement & verification
Inventory levels in bulk storage are often difficult to determine accurately. Incorrect volumes lead to financial discrepancies, accounting risks, and operational challenges. Estimates or manual measurements are often less accurate.
We provide independent stock volume measurement and verification. Through precise measurements, we make actual volumes transparent. This ensures confidence in figures, prevents disputes, and supports reliable decision-making.
Certainty on volumes. Confidence in figures.
With over 15 years of experience, Control Union delivers accurate 3D-LiDAR volume measurements for agriproducts, wood, metals, and fertilizers. Our independent reports reduce dispute risks and align book value with physical tonnage. Applicable to dry bulk in sheds or yards, independent of storage holder or trader for internal control or accountant verification.
Control & insight
Meet annual accountant audits
Independent 3D volume data confirms whether the tonnage in the books match the physical stock, providing accountants with the objective evidence they need.
Investigate administrative discrepancies
When system data no longer matches actual tonnage at a transshipment site, one LiDAR scan maps the true volume and clarifies where differences arise.
Prevent residual stocks when loading vessels
A verified volume figure before loading a barge or inland vessel avoids costly residual stocks and last-minute logistical adjustments from inaccurate estimates.
Verify stock at external locations
Goods at third-party stevedores lack direct oversight. An independent measurement confirms stored volumes match contractual agreements.
Establish undisputed figures at handover
For ownership transfer or financial settlement, an accurate volume report provides one shared reference point both parties can trust, without further negotiation.
