Product catalog items are hardware and software that you can track and offer in the
service catalog.

The product catalog is an extension of the [Service Catalog](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=service-catalog&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US) that contains a list of available [Models](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/C13tQUXJR_BBCqvfxAjp1Q "Models are specific versions or various configurations of an asset. Models are used for managing and tracking assets through various ServiceNow platform asset applications, including Product Catalog, Asset Management, and Procurement."). Users with the catalog_admin role can create, activate, and deactivate product catalog items.
