The product

One request, from first search to paid invoice.

Open full screen
  1. 1They describe the experiment. Your facility comes back by name.
  2. A core's own request form as the researcher fills it in: the details it needs, and a price beside each service they tick
    2Your own request form, with your prices on it.
  3. A week on the equipment calendar: researchers' bookings by instrument, one waiting for approval, and the list of bookings beside it
    3Researchers book the instrument. You set the rules.
  4. A service project's overview before its invoice is drafted: quoted CA$4,254.34, spent CA$3,539.70 over 19 lines, billed CA$0, and CA$3,539.70 unbilled, with the accepted quote and a Draft invoice button beside the amount ready to bill
    4One project per request: quoted, spent, billed and still to bill.
  5. A draft invoice for the project, each line taken from the work already recorded, ready to preview, download or send
    5The invoice is written from the work already recorded.
  6. The invoice page a client opens from the email: MICAM's deposit for transgenic mouse production, CA$2,425.00, with a button to pay it by card
    6Your client pays by card. The money lands in your own account.
  7. A qPCR standard curve protocol open in Protocol Cortex: the dilution steps, Resume run, and the version timeline of accepted proposals and checkpoints
    7Protocols written, versioned, and run at the bench.
  8. 8Type anything. The lab points to it, down to the slot.
