Fluics

FLUICS is a Munich-based life sciences software company that develops FLUICS CONNECT, an intelligent inventory management and labeling solution designed for research labs, academic institutes, and industry teams. Founded out of firsthand frustration with spreadsheets, lost samples, and disorganized lab notebooks, FLUICS replaces manual inventory processes with a mobile-first, cloud-connected platform that enables real-time tracking, compliance, and collaboration across all lab environments.

FLUICS CONNECT serves a broad range of users — from academic research groups and university departments to techbio companies, certified testing laboratories, and even refurbished lab equipment businesses. With over 500,000 inventory items managed across institutes and companies, the platform is built to handle everything from chemical reagents and biological samples to specialized equipment and warehouse assets.

Core Platform: FLUICS CONNECT

• A plug-and-play, mobile-first inventory system that requires no complex setup and works across lab, warehouse, and office environments
• On-demand barcode and QR code printing for instant item labeling and scanning
• Mobile app enabling users to access, update, and manage inventory directly from their devices at the point of need
• Cloud-based architecture ensuring inventory data is always current and accessible to the entire team
• Every change is automatically logged, creating a complete and unchangeable audit trail for compliance purposes

Key Capabilities

• AI-Powered Inventory Insights: Users can ask their inventory questions in natural language to plan experiments, forecast needs, and go beyond simple tracking
• Regulatory Compliance: Effortlessly maintain hazardous substance registers, genetically modified organism (GMO) records, and full audit trails required by regulatory frameworks
• Team Collaboration: Inventory information is easily shareable and trackable across teams, with integrations into tools such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, and electronic lab notebooks (ELNs)
• Cost and Time Savings: Prevents accidental duplicate orders, reduces waste, and allows users to find and update inventory in seconds rather than hours
• Equipment Management: Automated alerts for equipment calibration and maintenance scheduling, providing a reliable overview of all critical assets
• API Integration: A robust API enables FLUICS CONNECT to serve as a bridge between physical inventory and external digital systems, including e-commerce platforms, process logs, and laboratory information systems

Compliance and Traceability

• Designed to serve as a "source of truth" for physical inventory in certified and regulated laboratory environments, including DAkkS-certified labs
• Supports an unbroken chain of custody from chemical receipt through to consumption tracking, enabling full chemical traceability in final reports
• Audit trail functionality ensures that all inventory changes are permanently recorded and auditable
• Suitable for organizations that must demonstrate compliance with strict regulatory and quality standards

Integrations and Deployment

• Cloud-based deployment with no complex infrastructure requirements
• Integrates with collaboration platforms including Slack and Microsoft Teams
• Compatible with electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) and other third-party software
• Open API allows connection to e-commerce sites, digital process logs, and custom workflows
• Supports multi-location laboratory environments, enabling teams spread across different sites to maintain a unified, up-to-date inventory

Company Background

• Founded and headquartered in Munich, Germany, one of Europe's leading biotech hubs
• Led by Dr. Claudio Rolli (CEO) and Michael Lewton (CTO), with a mission rooted in personal lab experience
• Focused on improving research efficiency, reproducibility, and the daily working lives of researchers through digitalization and mobile tools
• Committed to ongoing product development, with a team known for being responsive to customer feedback and implementing new features based on real-world lab needs

FLUICS is purpose-built for the life sciences community, offering a practical and scalable solution that transforms inventory chaos into connected clarity — helping researchers spend less time searching and more time discovering.
