One of the first steps you'll take when onboarding onto Wholechain is to set up your products. You can create a product in just a few short steps from the web or mobile app.


  1. Navigate to the Products page from your left-side menu
  2. Click Actions on the upper right-hang corner, a dropdown menu will appear. Click Add Product.
  3. You will be directed to a New Product page. Fill out all the information for your new product here.

Note: For Product Details, There are two core types of traceability to select from that Wholechain enables -  lot-based, as well as serialized traceability. You can read a more detailed explanation of the difference between them in this article, but here's a basic overview: 

  • Lot-based means you're tracing items through the supply chain based on their lot number - which is a group of products that are associated, typically based on their harvest date or production run. 
  • Serial traceability is when you're tracing one single individual product that is differentiated from all other products based on a serial number. Examples would be a car or a smartphone. 

Note: There are certain product settings that cannot be edited after creating the product, including the traceability type and unit of measure settings described below.
