Serial number tracking features.
Serial number tracking at the product level builds out a full history of a specific products chain of custody. This tracks item receipt, outbound movement, and re-receipt.
Our warehouse management system streamlines the process of product based serial number tracking.
Serial Number Tracking
Main Feature Benefits
Traceability – Serial number tracking history is built out automatically as you work with products. This ensures that each product has a compliant record of refurbishment, returns, and movement inbound or outbound.
Loss Prevention – Serials are verified on returns to make sure you are receiving the correct product in a return event.
Sample Industry Use Cases
Medical
Electronics
History & Compliance
A history of the serialized product is built automatically as users are prompted to record serial numbers during the receiving, picking, and returns process. This means you have a full data history for use later on. An easy example is product activations or compliance reporting to internal or external teams.
Protect Your Profits
Serial number tracking products that leave your warehouse makes returns easier to manage as item serials are checked on return. This also protects you from common return scams where someone may buy a product then try to return a different product, robbing you of inventory value.
Warranty & Refurbishment
Products that come with warranty or refurbishment options for customers introduces workflow complexity. Shipedge helps you manage this increased complexity by utilizing statuses, outbound dates, metadata, and notes during a warranty or refurbishment event.

GET STARTEDCommon Questions
Serial number tracking is an important part of daily operation so we have tried to make it as easy as possible in our warehouse management system (WMS). Here are some common questions that our users have had when getting started.
How do you manage inventory expiration dates?
Perishable products need to be used before their manufacturer expiration date.
You can use a warehouse management system (like Shipedge) that tracks these
dates and uses the data to influence daily operations.
Inventory Allocation – allocating inventory using a first-expire first-out (FEFO)
methodology will ensure that products are not picked at random, which leads
to eventual product waste (due to expiration).
Expired Stock Retrieval – stock that is no longer of good quality should be automatically blocked and unavailable for use.
Expiration Date Outbound Tracking – in the case of a customer service incident related to product expiration/quality, order data should be used to determine if the products that we’re sent to the customer are within quality thresholds.
Why is it important to track expiration dates?
If expiration dates are not tracked in the event of a customer service issue related to product quality, your team should be able to provide additional information related to when the order was shipped and when the products in the order will expire. Advanced warehouse management systems (like Shipedge) are able to track and provide this data.
Is it hard to manage product by expiration dates?
Expiration date management is fairly simple given you are using the correct tools. An advanced warehouse management system (like Shipedge) will take your expiration date data and automatically influence your fulfillment and warehousing workflows to consider product quality.
