Serialized Inventory Management for Retail
Track individual serialized products across stores, transfers, counts and inventory activity while managing standard non-serialized stock in the same retail platform.
Inventory Control at the Individual Product Level
Quantity alone is not enough when every unit has its own identity. MTPOS maintains serialized product information alongside location and inventory activity.
Unique Item Identity
Maintain serial numbers and other identifiers for individual products rather than tracking only quantity.
Location Visibility
Know where serialized units are located as inventory moves between stores and other inventory locations.
Product History
Maintain a record of serialized product activity as individual units move through inventory operations.
Transfer Serialized Stock Between Locations
Move products between retail locations while preserving the identity of each serialized unit throughout the transfer.
- Store-to-store stock transfers
- Serialized unit identification
- Receiving and inventory updates
- Location-level inventory visibility
Count and Audit Serialized and Standard Inventory
Use barcode-based inventory processes to verify stock, identify individual serialized units and reconcile physical inventory with system records.
Barcode Scanning
Capture product and serialized-unit information during physical inventory activity.
Physical Counts
Perform stock counts for both serialized and non-serialized products.
Inventory Audits
Compare physical inventory with recorded stock and investigate discrepancies.
Follow Serialized Products Beyond Receiving
Serialized inventory information can support operational processes that depend on knowing exactly which unit is involved.
Warranty Information
Associate serialized products with warranty information relevant to individual units.
Service History
Maintain service-related information for products whose individual identity must remain traceable.
Product Recall Identification
Identify affected serialized units when a recall or other product-specific action requires exact tracking.
Serialized and Non-Serialized Stock Together
Not every product requires unit-level tracking. MTPOS supports serialized and standard inventory within the same inventory environment, allowing retailers to use the appropriate tracking method for each product.
Inventory Operations
Review Inventory Activity Across Stores
Centralized inventory records help retailers review serialized and non-serialized stock activity across multiple locations.
Inventory History
Review recorded activity associated with inventory movement and individual serialized units.
Scheduled Reporting
Use inventory reporting to support operational review and stock-management decisions.
Multi-Store Control
Maintain inventory visibility across stores while managing stock at the appropriate location.
