Serial Numbers Overview

Article sections

    Introduction

    A serial number is a unique identifier assigned to individual items, often for the purpose of tracking. This system is commonly used in product manufacturing, inventory management, and asset tracking.  It acts as a product’s fingerprint, providing a unique identification that helps businesses manage and track their products throughout the entire product life cycle.

    The BizGaze’s “Serial Numbers” App leverages the unique identification of serial numbers to provide customers with detailed product-specific information, support, and services. It not only ensures the authenticity and quality of the product but also helps customers in effectively managing their purchases.
