Our Inter-Branch Transfer service helps businesses move stock, inventory, documents or assets between different retail stores, warehouses and corporate offices seamlessly. Instead of relying on slow, traditional courier networks or expensive internal vehicle runs, you can use our platform to instantly request or schedule a transfer. Our system automates the routing, matches the cargo to the right vehicle and ensures your inventory is balanced across your network without any operational hassle. ### Can we use this service for urgent, same-day stock replenishment between stores? Yes, absolutely. One of the biggest challenges in retail is losing a sale because an item is out of stock at one branch but available at another nearby. With Picup, you can trigger an on-demand inter-branch transfer to move stock between physical locations within hours. This ensures your retail floors remain fully optimised and you never miss out on customer demand in busy shopping centres. ### How does Picup ensure the security and tracking of high-value inventory during a transfer? Inventory shrinkage during transit is a major concern for internal logistics. Picup solves this by giving you complete, end-to-end transparency: - **Live GPS tracking:** monitor the exact location of the vehicle moving your stock in real time from your central dashboard. - **Chain of custody digital verification:** drivers must scan barcodes or collect secure OTPs at both the dispatching branch and the receiving branch. - **Instant electronic POD:** a digital proof of delivery is captured immediately upon receipt, giving your inventory control team instant confirmation. ### What types of vehicles are available for moving larger volumes of stock? We provide a highly scalable fleet capable of handling anything from a single document pouch to bulk palletised stock. Depending on the volume of your transfer, you can choose from: - **Motorbikes:** ideal for urgent documents, small parts or single-item customer transfers. - **Bakkies, half-tonne and 1-tonne:** perfect for standard retail stock boxes, electronics and medium-sized goods. - **Panel vans and light trucks:** best suited for large-scale warehouse-to-store distribution or bulky store fixtures. ### Can we integrate our internal ERP or inventory management system with Picup for transfers? Yes, integration is where Picup truly shines. Our open API allows your developers to link your existing ERP, Warehouse Management System or Point of Sale software directly into our infrastructure. When an inter-branch transfer is approved in your internal system, a delivery request can be automatically created on Picup, eliminating manual data entry and speeding up your entire supply chain. ## Ready to balance stock across every branch?
