Track inventory by serial number

Serial tracking gives every single unit its own unique number. Use it for high-value or warranty-bearing goods — electronics, equipment, anything you need to identify individually.

Turn on serial tracking

Enable it per product, on the products that need it. Edit the product and turn on Serial tracking.

Capturing serials

• Receiving — scan or enter each unit’s serial as it comes in.
• Picking — Klovio records the exact serial pulled for the order.

Every serialized unit has a complete history: when it arrived, where it was stored, which order it shipped on.

Why it matters

• Warranty — confirm a returned unit is genuinely one you sold, and when.
• Recall — locate one specific affected unit, not a whole batch.
• Theft / loss — a serial is a precise record of what went missing.

Serial vs. lot

A serial is one number for one unit. A lot is one number for a whole batch — see Track inventory by lot. Serial tracking is more work per unit, so reserve it for goods that truly need individual identity.

Tip: serial tracking adds a scan per unit at receiving and picking. Apply it where individual identity matters — not to fast-moving, low-value consumables.
