Product Serialisation
Product serialisation means every individual product unit carries its own unique identifier. ProtectCode assigns a unique serialised QR code to every unit at manufacture - creating a verifiable record that follows the product through the supply chain to the consumer.
No implementation project. Live within 30 days of first print run.

How it works
The difference between batch tracking and unit-level product serialisation is significant. Batch tracking tells you a group of products left a warehouse. Unit-level serialisation tells you exactly which products went where, were scanned when, and were purchased by consumers in which markets.
ProtectCode product serialisation is applied at manufacture using standard label printing equipment. No special inks or machinery required. The serialised codes integrate with your existing ERP via REST API.

Use cases
ProtectCode is deployed across FMCG, pharmaceutical, wine, cosmetics, and export-focused industries globally.
At manufacture
Serialised codes generated before print run and applied to labels or packaging during production using existing equipment.
Through the supply chain
Every scan at warehouse, transit, and distribution creates a chain of custody record. Geographic and time data captured automatically.
At the consumer endpoint
Consumer authentication via smartphone camera. No app required. Instant verification result with brand campaign delivery.
For recall precision
Unit-level serialisation enables product recalls targeting specific units or production batches rather than entire product lines.
For supply chain monitoring
Rules-based monitoring surfaces distribution anomalies, grey market activity, and scan patterns outside expected parameters.
Via API integration
Production line integration via REST API. Serialised code data synchronised with SAP, Oracle, and any ERP system.
A barcode encodes a product identifier that is identical on every unit of the same SKU. Serialisation gives every individual unit a different code. This unit-level uniqueness enables track-and-trace, consumer authentication, and supply chain monitoring that batch-level barcodes cannot support.
No. ProtectCode serialised QR codes are applied using standard label printing equipment and standard label materials. No special inks or machinery modifications are required. Integration with existing line-speed label applicators is handled via the REST API.
ProtectCode is a self-service platform. From account creation to your first serialised codes typically takes 5-10 business days. You can be printing serialised units within 30 days of starting.
Yes. ProtectCode serialised QR codes scale from large labels on bulk packaging down to small labels on individual units. Minimum code size is 2cm x 2cm for reliable scanning. Beverage caps and small format cosmetics are accommodated with appropriate code sizing.
