# Product Setup

A product is an item that is sold to serve a customer's need or want. Physical products include durable goods (such as cars, furniture, and computers) and nondurable goods (such as food and beverages).

Two of the main types of product include consumer products (finished product available for sale  for sale to a customer) and industrial goods (raw materials or parts used to produce other products or to help run a business). P4W warehouse management system provides tools to accommodate both types of products.
