Inventory

LabArchives Inventory is designed to enhance the management of lab inventories by providing a comprehensive suite of features for organizing, tracking, and ordering lab materials. This software is highly customizable, allowing users to efficiently find, link, and utilize inventory items.

One of the key features is the ability to connect inventory items to experiments, improving reproducibility by linking protocols and experimental data with samples and other inventory items. Users can record detailed information for each inventory entry, such as location, description, vendor, grant code, safety sheets, expiration date, current amounts, and history.

The software supports tracking sample origins and relationships by establishing hierarchical connections between related items, allowing users to trace sample origins and document lineage across workflows. An intuitive interface facilitates quick searching, sorting, and filtering by custom fields, locations, and keywords.

Additional features include a freezer box view for managing samples and aliquots, real-time inventory monitoring with automated notifications for low stock or expiring items, and comprehensive reporting tools for tracking usage, expiration dates, and order requests.

LabArchives Inventory also simplifies lab management with tools for organizing and managing inventory, including bulk uploads, barcode scanning, and label printing. Users can manage order requests, track statuses, and document item receipt, ensuring labs remain well-stocked.

User roles and permissions can be managed to ensure compliance with organizational policies, with options for default roles or custom roles tailored to specific team needs.

Resources such as videos, webinars, and help articles are available to assist users in getting started and maximizing the benefits of the software. LabArchives Inventory offers a free start with upgrade options as team needs grow.
