For research teams
Less time keeping records. More time doing the research.
The honest question about any new system is whether it adds admin. This one replaces it: the records your team already keeps become the system, and the reports come out of them.
- Will this actually save us time, or is it more data entry?
- It is the same data entry you already do, in one place instead of three. The saving comes later: the census, the breeding summary and the annual report are generated from those records rather than rebuilt by hand each time.
- What happens to five years of existing spreadsheets?
- They import, as CSV. You map your columns once, preview the result, and commit only when it looks right. The same goes for data from SoftMouse.NET, PyRAT or tick@lab: export it to CSV, or to a spreadsheet you save as CSV.
- Who has to learn something new?
- Whoever enters data. The pages mirror how a colony is actually run, animals, cages, pairings, follow-ups, so there is no new vocabulary to absorb, and onboarding sessions are included.
What the records give you back
Every activity and every record stays traceable: the history shows who did what, and when, nobody reconstructs who moved which animal on a Friday. Filter by strain, sex, genotype or status; bulk-update or move a whole selection at once.
