Overview

Labii Agricultural Research Manager (ARM) is a unified platform designed for modern agricultural R&D teams, combining trial design, advanced randomization, field data capture, automated reporting, and cross-site analysis into a single streamlined workflow. Built to bridge field and laboratory operations, ARM integrates natively with Labii LIMS and Inventory Management modules, ensuring every sample, treatment, and result remains fully traceable from protocol design through to final analysis and regulatory submission.

ARM is purpose-built for agricultural research companies and R&D teams that need to coordinate complex multi-site field trials while maintaining scientific rigor, regulatory compliance, and seamless collaboration between field and laboratory personnel.

Core Research Management Capabilities

  • Create and manage crop varieties with complete genetic and phenotypic information
  • Organize multiple research sites with GPS coordinates, soil characteristics, and environmental data
  • Design plot layouts using visual mapping tools and track every treatment application with precise timing and dosage records
  • Document observations across all growth stages — from germination to harvest — using customizable data collection forms
  • Generate comprehensive reports that connect every data point across the entire research program to support outcome tracking and regulatory compliance

Advanced Randomization and Experimental Design

  • Includes sophisticated randomization algorithms specifically designed for field trials
  • Supports complete randomized design (CRD), randomized complete block design (RCBD), Latin square, split-plot, and additional experimental designs
  • Automatically generates plot assignments and prevents bias in treatment allocation
  • Maintains complete audit trails of experimental design decisions
  • Enables confident defense of methodology to regulators, peer reviewers, and stakeholders

Automated Reporting and Cross-Trial Analysis

  • Automatically aggregates observations across plots, treatments, and time points
  • Generates statistical analyses and professional visualizations with minimal manual effort
  • Creates charts for treatment efficacy comparisons, yield analysis, pest pressure maps, and growth curves
  • Cross-trial analysis capabilities allow comparison of results across multiple sites, seasons, or years to identify consistent patterns and validate product performance
  • Exports reports in multiple formats suitable for regulatory submissions, stakeholder presentations, or scientific publications

Integration with Laboratory and Inventory Operations

  • Natively integrates with Labii LIMS and Inventory Management modules for end-to-end R&D workflow coverage
  • Tracks formulations from the lab bench through field testing
  • Manages sample collection and analysis workflows across field and laboratory environments
  • Monitors chemical inventory and usage in real time
  • Maintains chain of custody records to support regulatory compliance
  • Eliminates data re-entry, reduces errors, and provides complete traceability from initial product development through commercial launch

Mobile and Offline Field Data Capture

  • Mobile-optimized interface works on smartphones, tablets, and laptops
  • Includes offline capabilities so teams can record observations, take photos, and collect data without internet connectivity
  • Data captured offline is immediately available to the entire team once connectivity is restored
  • Designed for use in remote field locations where reliable internet access is not guaranteed

ARM is available as part of the broader Labii platform, which also encompasses ELN, LIMS, Inventory Management, Formulation Management, and Quality Management System modules. Labii additionally offers a licensing and white-label partnership program, enabling agricultural research organizations to brand and deploy ARM as their own solution without the need for independent software development.
