A clean start makes a clean audit
Most disposition problems begin at receiving: shipments that arrive without paperwork, counts that do not match, devices that go missing between the loading dock and the audit bench. Once that happens, no certificate at the end of the process can fully close the gap.
AVM treats inbound as the first control point. We plan the shipment with you, verify what arrives against what was sent, and open a chain-of-custody record for every load, so each asset has a documented history from its first hour in our care.
What's included
- One point of contactStart by phone or email. A coordinator plans the inbound shipment around your schedule.
- Retrieval coordinationIn many cases AVM organizes the pickup itself, so your team can stay focused on its own work.
- Manifest reconciliationEvery shipment is checked against your shipping control manifest on arrival.
- Secure receivingEquipment goes straight into a controlled area and stays there until it is audited.
- Multi-country intakeShipments from across the United States, Canada and Latin America, each traceable to its origin.
- Receipt confirmationYou know what arrived, when it arrived, and whether it matched what you sent.
