Our serialization process, step by step

WSA's serialization workflow is built for accuracy, speed, and traceability — from program setup through outbound shipment.

1

Program setup

We configure your serialization rules — number format, barcode type, label layout, and database fields — before the first unit is touched. Setup is tested and validated before go-live.

2

Receive & stage

Inventory arrives at WSA and is received, counted, and staged for serialization. Units are organized by lot or batch per your instructions.

3

Serialize & label

Each unit is assigned a unique identifier and a dynamic label is generated and applied — with the serial number, barcode, QR code, and any variable data fields printed inline.

4

Log & fulfill

Every serialized unit is logged to your database as it's processed. Units then move to kitting, packaging, or outbound fulfillment — all under one roof at WSA.

Serialization built for complex programs

Not all serialization is the same. WSA handles complex, multi-field dynamic labeling programs that off-the-shelf fulfillment software can't manage.

🔢

True dynamic label generation

Labels are generated with unique data per unit at the time of application — no pre-printed labels, no manual data entry, no mismatch risk.

🗄️

Database logging per unit

Each serial number is logged as it's assigned — tied to lot, SKU, and any other fields you need. Serialization records are available for export.

🏷️

Multi-label & complex formats

Need a serial label plus an FCC ID label plus a retail compliance label on the same unit? WSA handles multi-label requirements and complex label layouts that simpler 3PLs can't execute.

🔗

Integrated with kitting & fulfillment

Serialized units feed directly into kitting, Amazon FBA prep, or outbound fulfillment at WSA — no separate facility, no transfer, no delay. One operation, one roof.

Retail & regulatory compliance

WSA supports GS1 barcode formats, retailer compliance labeling, and serialization requirements for regulated products — so your labels meet inspection requirements.

📈

High-volume throughput

WSA has serialized large volumes for electronics brands, fleet operators, and retail programs. Our setup is built for high-volume runs with consistent accuracy.

Who uses WSA for serialization

Serialization requirements vary widely by industry. WSA has experience across all of these program types.

📱

Consumer electronics

Units serialized with a unique ID for warranty tracking, product registration, and retail compliance — before kitting and fulfillment at WSA.

📡

IoT & connected devices

Device serial numbers, MAC addresses, and firmware versions logged and labeled — supporting provisioning workflows and field deployment tracking.

🚗

Fleet & automotive tech

OEM-compliant serialization for fleet telematics and automotive hardware — meeting the specific labeling and traceability requirements of automotive OEMs.

🏪

Retail compliance programs

GS1 barcodes, GTIN labeling, and retailer-specific compliance labels applied at the unit level — so your product arrives shelf-ready at big-box retailers.

★★★★★
"The OEMs have very specific labeling, kitting and shipping requirements that were becoming onerous to manage in-house. WSA handles it perfectly."

Common questions about serialization

Product serialization is the process of assigning a unique identifier — a serial number, barcode, or QR code — to each individual unit of a product. It enables unit-level traceability, warranty tracking, compliance with retailer and regulatory requirements, and protection against counterfeiting.
WSA serializes consumer electronics, IoT devices, fleet hardware, regulated products, and retail goods requiring GS1 compliance. If your product needs unique per-unit identification — whether for retailer compliance, warranty tracking, or regulatory reasons — we can build a serialization program around it.
Dynamic labeling means each label is generated and printed uniquely at the time of application — with a serial number, barcode, QR code, or variable data specific to that unit. WSA's system generates and applies dynamic labels inline during the serialization process, with no manual data entry.
Yes. WSA's serialization setup is built for high-throughput programs — we've serialized large volumes for electronics brands, fleet operators, and retail programs. Our system handles complex label formats, multi-label requirements, and database logging at scale.
Yes — and that's one of WSA's key advantages. Serialization, kitting, and outbound fulfillment all happen under one roof. Products can be serialized, kitted, and shipped without leaving our Kearny Mesa facility, reducing handling, time, and cost.
WSA Distributing is located at 7222 Opportunity Rd, Kearny Mesa, San Diego, CA 92111. We provide serialization services for brands nationwide from our San Diego 3PL facility.
