  </Card>

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## How it works

1. **Organizations** sign up and are onboarded by Beach Depositories staff
2. **FBO accounts** are created within the organization for each individual or entity storing assets
3. **Inventory** is received, inspected, and stored in the vault under each FBO account
4. **Transfers** move items between accounts with configurable approval workflows
5. **Outbound shipments** send items back to account holders when requested

## Key features

* **Insured storage** with configurable max insured values per organization and account
* **Risk scoring** at the organization and account level
* **Full audit trail** on every action — every change is tracked with actor, timestamp, and reason
* **Client portal access** — organization members sign in with Clerk to view inventory, request shipments, and manage addresses
* **Multi-role access** — organization admins manage their accounts, vault staff oversee operations
* **Batch transfers** — move multiple items between accounts in a single operation
