How Do I Add a New Product

How Do I Add a New Product

Using the CleanChain Product library, you can search existing products and find matches to your inventory. Sometimes, the product you are using is new to the CleanChain database. After completing a thorough search for a match, you may proceed with adding your product as new.  

*If you are unsure about matching and would like assistance, please contact appsupport@adec-innovations.com.  

The two categories where you can add a product are from the Product Library and from the Inventory via uploading a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) or manually entering product information. 

The good news is that CleanChain automatically remembers your product's match for your next upload.
