# Create a Consignment

### Aim

Take the paperwork, time, and hassle out of transferring custody of items or an entire consignment.

### Benefits

Once a consignment is created, information can be stored against each inducted animal, plant or item that is a member of the selected group or mob. Transfer, custody records and IoT information (e.g. temperature) can be updated for all the items in the whole consignment with just one entry instead of an individual entry for each animal, plant or item.
