Every scientist knows the value of an electronic lab notebook (ELN). It’s a powerful alternative to a traditional notebook, designed to record and organize research notes and data digitally. In fact, more than half of research organizations (57%) report using ELNs to improve data management and collaboration on their teams.
But an ELN alone is simply not enough to maintain a well-organized, highly functioning, and forward-thinking lab. An ELN’s capabilities typically include data tracking, management, and security. But when it comes to inventory management or ordering and tracking supplies, its functionality is limited.
To keep experiments on track and drive innovation, labs have to stay on top of their stocks—it’s essential that they have a system in place that facilitates order requests, tracks shipments, and keeps communication flowing between researchers and lab managers that handle orders. That’s where Quartzy can fill a critical gap. From enabling inventory management, to handling order requests and notifying users about their order status, Quartzy unifies lab operations into a single, easy-to-use platform.
And scientists don’t have to say goodbye to their ELN. On the contrary, Quartzy seamlessly integrates with ELNs through Webhooks and Public APIs. With interconnectivity between the two platforms, researchers can use their ELN notes and data to gain greater insight into supply needs and, in turn, request items via Quartzy as needed.
