1. Create a Clean and Consistent Product Database
A well-structured product database is essential for any warehouse operation. Product master data defines how items are
identified, stored, handled, picked, and shipped. When product information is inconsistent or incomplete, warehouses face
frequent operational issues: picking errors, wrong labels, incorrect units of measure, and unnecessary stock adjustments.
This Product Registration Application helps you create a clean and consistent product list that can be used independently
or as part of a complete master-data workflow. It is especially valuable for small and medium-sized warehouses that need
structure without investing in complex systems.
2. What This Application Is Designed For
This tool is used to:
- register products in a standardized format
- keep product codes, descriptions, and attributes clean and consistent
- prepare CSV files for imports into WMS/ERP systems
- maintain simple product databases in spreadsheets
- support downstream tools like logistics sheets and location assignment
It creates exactly the type of product data expected by most warehouse systems.
3. Key Product Fields and Why They Matter
- Product Code → unique identifier used in all warehouse processes
- Product Name → clear naming reduces picking errors
- Unit of Measure → defines picking and storage behavior
- Dimensions & Weight → essential for palletization and space planning
- Packaging Type → determines handling methods
- Special Handling (fragile, hazardous) → improves safety and accuracy
Keeping these fields consistent improves the reliability of the entire warehouse workflow.
4. FAQ
How many fields should a product record contain?
Only those that directly influence storage, picking, or transport.
Do I need dimensions for every product?
Yes — especially for pallet, box, or shelf optimization.
Can I import this data into a WMS?
Yes — the exported CSV follows common system standards.
Is this application suitable for large product lists?
Absolutely — as long as data is reviewed for duplicates.
5. Best Practices for Product Master Data
✔ use short and consistent product names
✔ avoid duplicate product codes
✔ keep a single source of truth
✔ update master data when packaging changes
✔ review the product list at least twice a year
Good product data prevents errors in all downstream operations.
6. How This Tool Fits into the Overall Workflow
The recommended sequence for master data preparation:
- Create supplier records (Supplier Management Application)
- Register products here
- Generate logistics sheets
- Assign products to storage locations
- Merge CSV files if needed
- Import into WMS or use in spreadsheets
This creates a full and coherent master data foundation.
7. Product Registration – Embedded Application
Use the embedded application below to create a clean and standardized product list.
The generated CSV file can be used directly for WMS/ERP imports or as structured master data in spreadsheets.

Data is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) so it remains available after refresh. Use “Clear list” to remove it.
8. Where This Application Fits
Product registration is part of the warehouse master data structure. It defines how products are identified, stored, and tracked before inventory control and operational processes are applied.
