Additional Features

Visualize Data and Create Reports
Use the Dashboards add-on to create and present visualized reports and make data-driven decisions. Dashboards offers a repository of pre-designed SQL queries, and you can also create customized queries or futher process queries via code (Python, Ruby or C#). Dashboards helps you gain inventory insights (most used/unused material, sample consumption rates, expiring stocks, expenses per month/project), as well as equipment insights (most used/unused instruments, number of non-operational days per instrument, off times, equipment usage per project, and more).

Optimize Equipment Utilization
Register all instruments in your lab, schedule equipment usage slots in your Labguru calendar, set maintenance and calibration tasks and receive notifications when they are due.

Digitize Shopping List
Centralize all order requests from different lab members in one place to avoid duplications, review and submit orders, attach quotes, and track order status.

Label Wizard
Print 1D or 2D barcode labels with your required fields for stocks, plates, equipment and boxes. Scan the QR code/barcode of a stock to easily move or use items as needed.
