Stock Monitoring (SMA)
Stock Monitoring (SMA) is a flexible, cost-effective service designed to give banks, financiers, and storage operators complete peace of mind over commodities under their financing or ownership.
CSL’s experienced inspectors conduct regular, scheduled visits to monitor stored commodities. Reporting frequency is fully customizable from daily monitoring to weekly inspections according to your specific risk requirements.
Whether you need light oversight or more intensive monitoring, our Stock Monitoring service ensures transparency, early risk detection, and professional documentation helping you manage your exposure while maintaining trust with your clients.
This service is ideal as a standalone offering or as a complementary solution alongside Collateral Management.
What is Stock Monitoring (SMA)?
Stock Monitoring (SMA) is a service where CSL’s certified inspectors regularly visit and monitor commodities stored in warehouses. It provides banks, financiers, and storage operators with independent, reliable updates on the status of the stock without taking full collateral control.
How is Stock Monitoring (SMA) different from Collateral Management (CMA)?
Collateral Management (CMA) involves full physical control of the stock with strict dual-entry systems. Stock Monitoring (SMA) is lighter we conduct scheduled inspections and provide reports, but we do not control the movement of goods. SMA is ideal when full collateral management is not required.
Who is Stock Monitoring suitable for?
- Banks and financial institutions that want regular oversight on financed commodities
- Storage operators seeking independent verification
- Traders and processors who need periodic stock confirmation
- Companies that want lower-cost monitoring compared to full Collateral Management
