Two phones of the same model are still two individual devices. Choose IMEI or serial inventory when your shop needs to identify the particular handset it received or sold.
Use these questions in your demonstration. Bring an example from your own shop.
Quantity inventory tells you how many units of a product you hold. Serialized inventory identifies a particular unit. If your team needs to find the exact phone involved in a sale, compare the IMEI or serial workflow rather than relying on a model name alone.
Ask to receive two handsets of the same model with different example identifiers, sell one and then search for both. Check that staff can tell the sold device from the available device and find the relevant sale. This is a more useful acceptance check than a feature tick-box.
Ask what happens when the sold handset comes back. Confirm the records, customer documents and permissions available in your edition. Inventory software records the identifiers entered by your team; it is not a public IMEI ownership lookup, police clearance service or guarantee of a device’s legal history.
Start with Pro when you need individual device tracking for your shop. Discuss ERP for branch coordination and accounting requirements. Confirm renewal pricing, implementation and any existing data transfer in a written quotation.
No. Snap is positioned for quantity-based inventory and repair jobs. Pro and ERP are the editions to compare for individual handset IMEI or serial inventory.
No. A device identifier in a repair record describes the device being repaired. Serialized stock also needs to distinguish individual inventory units as they are received, sold and looked up.
No. This page describes inventory records for a shop’s own business activity. iShopMaster is not presented here as a public device-owner database or an official verification service.
