FLUICS CONNECT

FLUICS CONNECT is a mobile-first inventory management and labeling solution designed for research laboratories, warehouses, and industrial environments in both academia and industry. By combining QR code and barcode scanning, on-demand label printing, a cloud-based inventory database, and an AI-powered interface, FLUICS CONNECT replaces error-prone spreadsheets with a real-time, collaborative system that saves time, reduces costs, and supports regulatory compliance.

Trusted by institutes and companies managing over 500,000 inventory items, FLUICS CONNECT is built as a plug-and-play platform requiring no complex setup or specialist software skills. It serves a wide range of use cases — from sample and reagent tracking in R&D labs to asset management in warehouses and procurement oversight across multi-site operations.

Core Platform Capabilities

• Mobile app enables full inventory management directly from a smartphone or tablet, at the point of need in the lab, warehouse, or office.
• Barcode and QR code scanning provides quick, error-free access to and editing of inventory records.
• On-demand label printing allows users to produce durable labels for items and storage locations without any coding knowledge.
• Centralized cloud database replaces multiple spreadsheets with a single source of truth accessible to all team members simultaneously.
• Every change is automatically logged in an immutable audit trail — data is archived and never deleted, ensuring full traceability and preventing data loss.

AI-Powered Inventory Intelligence

• AI Chat functionality allows users to interact with their inventory using natural language — for example, asking "Where is sample X?" or "Show me all reagents expiring this month."
• Bring Your Own Large Language Model (BYOLLM) support lets teams connect their preferred AI chat agent through the FLUICS MCP server, enabling deeper integration with existing AI workflows.
• AI-driven insights go beyond simple tracking to help users plan experiments and forecast inventory needs proactively.

Compliance and Safety Management

• Maintains hazardous substance registers and records for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to support regulatory requirements.
• Automatic audit trail records every inventory change, providing an unbreakable chain of custody suitable for certified and regulated environments such as DAkkS-accredited laboratories.
• Automated alerts notify users of expiration dates, low stock levels, and equipment calibration or maintenance schedules, reducing the risk of compliance gaps.
• Serves as a secure central hub for safety data sheets and other critical documentation.

Team Collaboration and Efficiency

• Real-time cloud synchronization ensures all team members across multiple lab locations or departments always have access to up-to-date inventory information.
• Prevents accidental duplicate orders and reduces costly waste by giving teams full visibility of existing stock.
• Supports seamless communication and alignment across teams, replacing fragmented spreadsheet-based workflows.
• Enables field staff to log new items, capture photos, and update records directly from mobile devices on the warehouse floor or in the lab.

Integration and Extensibility

• REST API enables seamless data flow between FLUICS CONNECT and existing laboratory information management systems (LIMS), electronic lab notebooks (ELNs), and other third-party software.
• Smart hyperlinks allow teams to connect their broader digital ecosystem without replacing existing tools.
• Native compatibility with collaboration platforms such as Slack and Microsoft Teams supports communication-driven inventory updates.
• API integration has been used to connect physical inventory directly to e-commerce platforms, enabling items to move from receipt to online listing in seconds.

FLUICS CONNECT is a cloud-based, ready-to-use solution suitable for a broad range of environments — from single-lab academic groups to multi-site industrial operations and specialized businesses such as refurbished equipment resellers. Its open API and BYOLLM support make it highly extensible, while its compliance-focused audit trail and automated alerts make it well suited to regulated industries requiring full chemical and asset traceability.
