Serial number tracking software FAQs

Contact us today if you have more questions about how serial number tracking could work for your business.

What is serial number tracking software?

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.

Why Invest in Serial Number Tracking?

Serial Number Tracking is a system which enables you to track any product, item or component in your inventory — from inception right through to sale. Using a unique identification number, it gives you indispensable visibility of where your products have been, so you can rest easy knowing inventory traceability is taken care of.

Know where your products are by serial number - Track any product with just a few clicks. Our cloud-based solution means you can locate any individual product within your business, at any time, from anywhere. You can do away with manual cross-referencing and error-prone spreadsheet.
Simple serialisation setup - When creating or editing a product in Unleashed, you will have the option to add a serial number. It will then always be assigned to that particular product for complete traceability.

Is serial number tracking free?

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.

Can you track lost or stolen items with the serial number?

Unleashed Software does not provide real-time GPS or location tracking capabilities. However, by assigning unique serial numbers to individual products, you can maintain full visibility over their movement within your inventory. If an item is lost or suspected stolen, the serial number can help identify the last recorded transaction, location, or user associated with that item, supporting internal investigations or external reporting.

Can I recall products?

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.

Can I track something with a serial number?

Tracking something with a serial number is an important part of quality control and the product lifecycle. With Unleashed,, this can be done by using the product master record, where you can select the option to serialise or batch track the product. You can serialise both the component product as well as the assembled product. When tracking by serial number, the serial number for each product needs to be entered in assembly.

Can I include the serial numbers on invoices?

Yes, you can. Unleashed automatically displays serial numbers on sales invoices.

Is a serial number traceable?

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.
