For research teams
Everything your lab does, flowing from one record
Stop rebuilding the week from three spreadsheets and a whiteboard. One shared record feeds your daily tasks, your breeding calendar, your exports and your audit log, so the work happens once and shows up everywhere.
Hours back every week
Reclaim 4+ hours per tech that used to vanish into reconciling files, the record updates itself as the team works.
One source of truth
No more "which spreadsheet is current?" Every animal, litter and case lives in one place your whole team shares.
Audit-ready by default
Protocols, health and mortality are documented as they happen, the annual report is a click, not a scramble.
Your data stays yours, encrypted, role-based access, and exportable in full the day you ask. No lock-in, ever.
For organizations
One dashboard over every team, and the invoices write themselves
Every PI's colony rolls up into a single live view. Per-diems total themselves at month-end, capacity and welfare are visible across the whole facility, and compliance is already in order before an audit is booked.
Costs recovered, automatically
Per-diems and chargebacks are tallied as cages fill and empty, billing that used to leak now bills itself.
Oversight without chasing
Census, welfare and capacity across every lab in one dashboard, no more emailing PIs for a number.
Compliance across the facility
A tamper-evident audit trail and linked protocols on every team, so the whole institution walks into inspections ready.
