Inventory management software with serial number tracking

Serial number tracking software is a cloud-based system that helps you trace raw materials, parts, and products through the product lifecycle. It helps businesses meet compliance and quality regulations while improving inventory accuracy and workflow efficiency.

The serial number tracking system in Unleashed comes included with every plan, meaning you’ll have total traceability of all your parts and products no matter your subscription model. All plans are available with a free trial for first-time users.

You cannot edit a serial number, but you can remove any product with an incorrect serial number and add it again correctly.

Although you cannot execute a product recall directly, you can use our Serial Number & Batch Tracking Enquiry Reports to gather all the information you require so that you can make contact with the affected customers. Depending on the circumstances, you can then produce credits to issue refunds, or make stock adjustments if sending out replacements.

Serial number tracking with inventory management software ensures product authenticity and quality control by letting you match a unique number recorded on a product to a database that records its origins and destination.

For example forestry products might be certified as sourced from sustainable plantations by being stamped with a unique serial number - which is then recorded along the supply chain, from the mill to the furniture factory, allowing each stage to be audited.

Schemes like these are important in industries like medical device manufacturing, and consumer products, where end users need to be confident that the supply chain hasn’t been contaminated with counterfeit goods or illegally sourced raw materials.

Product serialisation has multiple benefits including:

• Protecting consumers by preventing counterfeit or illegal products entering the supply chain through the use of auditable serial number records.
• Helping businesses quickly match serial numbers on products to information in a database such as make and model details, price, origin, warehouse location and more.
• Helping firms accurately manage returns, warranties, repairs and servicing – for example by proving that a specific item was in fact sold by them and is still under warranty.

Yes, the main purpose of serial numbers is enabling individual products to be matched against an information database. A serial number on a lost or stolen item for example can allow the item, when recovered, to be matched to its owner.

In some cases knowing the serial number of an item, such as a phone, can allow that item's location to be discovered if the device contains a GPS tracker, or emits a traceable signal.
