Request more details about the order from lab member who submitted the order request

Update, Jan 2017: This feature is replaced by Order Discussions.

"As a manager, sometimes I get order requests that are missing details, so I can’t place an actual order..."

Sound familiar? We've been hearing this type of comment from a lot of lab managers. Lab members often don’t know all of the details of the compound they are searching for, or maybe they just forget to specify them. The end result is the same: lab managers don’t have all the information they need in order to get the work done.

We listened to your comments and have come up with a solution! We have introduced a new option, which allows lab managers to send clarification request messages to other lab members without leaving the context of orders management.

After the order request is submitted, the new option makes the communication process much easier, and allows managers to get in touch with their lab members without leaving the LabSuit screen.
Once the message is sent, it will instantly land in the lab member's email inbox. The message will include a direct link to the LabSuit order request, allowing him or her to update the order.

Order awaits receiving longer than usual? LabSuit is here to help!

Problem It's an essential part of the lab manager's duty to track if ordered items are delivered in a timely manner. Though it sounds like a simple task, it's not easy to execute, because of the multiple responsibilities lab managers have. In addition, it's not always clear, when an order item is supposed to be received. Solution Luckily, LabSuit has a creative solution for that. LabSuit uses a data-oriented approach. For that approach to work, a lab member needs to order a few times from a specific vendor. Eventually, LabSuit knows how fast the order is marked as received, the more orders are made from that vendor, the more accurate an average time-to-receive is. For example, let's say a lab manager ordered 17 items for a specific vendor in the past. Based on this historical data, LaSuit knows that items from that vendor, on average were marked as received after 8 days, which pretty accurately describes how things are working at that specific lab. ...

Lab Fairy embraces Eli Lewis's lab at Ben Gurion university of the Negev

When there is a job for Lab Fairy it doesn't matter whether it's in the Noth or in the South - Lab Fairy packs its tools and embarks for an assignment! This time Lab Fairy has got a call from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. It's a pure pleasure to work with a professional lab manager Having boarded a train heading South, the Lab Fairy had an hour ride to Beer Sheva. At the campus which is shared by hospital and university, Lab Fairy was met by amazing lab manager - Ronen Schuster. Ronen was so positive and cooperative that Lab Fairy had a true pleasure of working with him. Ronen accompanied us to the lab and gave very accurate instructions, so the expectations on both sides were very clear. Lab Fairy plunged into work. Lab Fairy's target was a fridge full of antibodies. On previous Lab Fairy assignments, there were containers mostly with chemicals, therefore dealing with the new type of inventory items ma...

New!! Freezer box support added.

This is a big day for Biology Labs, who store their antibodies/plasmids/etc. in freezer boxes. From now, a researcher can easily map all his inventory items into virtual freezer box LabSuit now supports!!! Yes, that is super cool! You're welcome to watch this short explanatory video and get excited the same way as I'm now! You're more than welcome to leave your comments here!
