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.
