# Transfer Later

### Aim

To prepare everything in advance for a transfer. Then, at a later time, record a transfer of custody of an item or consignment from your account to another account and keep track of who has custody of the assets and any given time as they move along the supply chain.

**Take Care:** Transfer is only to be used for transferring the custody of an item or consignment. Use **Move** if you are just moving items between areas within your own farm or facility.‌

### Benefits

This allows the consignment or transfer information to be prepared in advance of the actual physical transfer.

An accurate record of each custodial transfer as items move along the supply chain can help prevent counterfeits or determine any liability if things go wrong. If there is ever a claim, it can be useful information for an insurer to have a record of the 'baton changes' that occurred as goods moved along the supply chain. The Aglive Platform can record each new custodian and the time and location of each transfer. In collaboration with third party IoT services we can also record the condition of the goods at any given time.
