A division of Honor Guard, LLC
What we do..
ToKalon Services provides Chain of Custody Supervision for any phase of a shipping or travel process. In layman’s terms, chain of custody is a method of record keeping applied to something being moved from one place to another. We provide elevated, true, chain of custody documentation and communications from “in front of the line” and from areas not normally accessible to the public. We see cargo and carry items through to safe placement, storage or final destination as ordered and under supervision of ONE TEAM.
Chain of Custody in this context, is special tracking to witness that no tampering, rough handling or unintended exposure to elements occurs as something is being moved from one place to another. Essentially, we are the eyes and ears for customers that require assurances, every step of the way. It is often helpful to the unique needs of our customers, to advise airlines and cargo handlers of important requests made during a customers initial booking process. Chain of custody is a chronological accounting of where something is and the path it took to get there. Some define what ToKalon does as “Boots on the ground, Chain of Custody” and "Chain of Custody Project Management”.
Be it an artwork, artifact, family heirloom or live cargo, Honor Guard LLC and ToKalon Services see it through and beyond the many stations of handling, often “behind the line” with our credentialed team. “ToKalon Service” is our elevated care for your shipment of importance. Our agents give timely, accurate accounting on the progress and movement of your shipment by witnessing transport, safe storage, time stamps, loading or unloading to aircraft, vehicle or vessel, temperature checks as ordered, monitoring of sensors, “secured-by” methods and positioning.
Supervision Service for Pallet Build also known as “Build Supervision” ensures your requests are heard at any warehouse or screening facility. We are boots on the ground through wheels up, communicating with your team and with the utmost concern for safety and seeing that shipment preparations are running smoothly and without unnecessary delays. You’ll know when pallet build starts and see that it’s being done to your specifications, bridging common information gaps.
Courier Support also known as “courier assist” is a blend of any and all services you may require where a courier is present. Whether we are acting as your Courier or assisting your institutions representative, allow us to support and assist with authorized administrative tasks, private transportation, plane-side observation or have us assist during travel for the length of your project. We are here for you.
“We strictly adhere to Airport regulatory requirements and cooperate with law enforcement agencies at all times, further ensuring your on-time cargo arrivals.”
