Quartzy

Quartzy is built to replace ad‑hoc lab management tools (spreadsheets, email chains, sticky notes) by digitizing inventory and procurement workflows used across academic labs, biotechs, CROs and clinical research groups. The platform centralizes information about every supply item — where it’s stored, how much remains, expiration dates and other customizable attributes — so lab teams can focus on experiments rather than searching for reagents or chasing orders. Core capabilities include a structured inventory that tracks standard and custom fields (quantity, storage location, physical state for chemicals, clonality for antibodies, expiration dates, etc.), barcode label creation and scanning from a mobile device, and easy stock adjustments. Quartzy supports item lookups by barcode, quick updates of counts, and location-aware searches so teams always know what’s in stock and where it is. When items run low, users submit supply requests through the platform; lab managers can review, approve and route requests, then track the order status and notify requestors when items arrive. The platform also functions as a purchasing marketplace. Users can search and buy more than 10 million products from 1,800+ trusted scientific brands, with product equivalents vetted by life‑science product experts to help find compatible alternatives. Quartzy consolidates quotes, vendor options, and delivery tracking in one place, letting labs compare prices and availability without juggling vendor portals. For organizations that need consolidated procurement, Quartzy helps centralize spend, simplify approval flows and maintain a single audit trail for orders and deliveries. Quartzy integrates with common lab and business tools so data stays in sync across systems. Documented integrations and connectors include Slack and Microsoft Teams for request and delivery notifications, Google Sheets for reporting and exports, and finance/ERP systems such as QuickBooks and NetSuite for order reconciliations and spend tracking. These integrations let procurement, finance and individual labs operate from shared data while preserving local request and approval workflows. Typical use cases include: replacing spreadsheet inventory with a searchable, barcode‑driven stockroom for faster reagent retrieval and cycle counts; automating request/approval routing to reduce administrative overhead and lost orders; consolidating purchasing across multiple labs or sites to negotiate better pricing and reduce duplicative spend; and maintaining richer metadata (expiry, clonality, storage conditions) to support compliance and training. Quartzy’s mobile access and barcode tools also make routine inventory audits and cold‑room checks faster and more reliable. For teams evaluating lab operations software, Quartzy delivers rapid operational benefits: reduced time spent ordering and locating supplies, fewer stockouts, clearer order visibility and a consolidated purchasing workflow that scales from single labs to enterprise deployments. The platform is positioned to help life‑science teams streamline procurement, improve inventory accuracy and free researchers to spend more time on experiments rather than logistics.
