User Guide - Product Profiles

This guide provides comprehensive information about Product Profiles in the Command Center platform.

Introduction

Product Profiles allow you to document product details and define temperature requirements for proper handling and monitoring of temperature-sensitive products.

Note: The Product Profile feature is available to Admin and Member roles only. External Users do not have access to this feature.

What is a Product Profile?

A Product Profile is a configuration that defines:

  • Basic product information (name, description)

  • Temperature requirements for shipping (STR - Shipping Temperature Range)

  • Temperature requirements for product stability (PTR - Proven Temperature Range)

  • Categorization tags for organization and filtering

Product Profiles serve as templates that can be applied to shipments to ensure proper monitoring of temperature-sensitive products throughout the supply chain.

Proven Temperature Range (PTR)

Multiple temperature ranges that define how long a product can be exposed to specific temperatures without compromising stability:

  • You can define up to 20 different temperature ranges

  • For each range, specify:

    • Range Name: A descriptive name (e.g., "Below -40.4", "-14.4 to -9.5")

    • Temperature Range: The minimum and maximum temperatures (in °C)

    • Duration: How long the product can be safely exposed to this temperature range

    • Duration Type:
