Founding beta · places close 31 October · 60 days · founder-supported
Move your lab off spreadsheets in 60 days.
A supported pilot for research labs that want to get chemical inventory, shared equipment booking, QR workflows, service and fault records and sustainability evidence out of spreadsheets, shared calendars, paper records and scattered folders — with help, not on your own.
No commitment · Your data stays yours · 25% off your first year if you continue
Who it's for
Research teams that have outgrown spreadsheets, shared calendars, paper records and scattered folders — and the people responsible for keeping a lab running.
Labs
University research labs, research institutes, shared / core facilities, teaching labs, biotech and contract research organisations.
People
Lab managers, technical services managers, facility managers, safety officers and sustainability leads.
What the pilot includes
Everything you need to get your lab genuinely using the platform — not just a login.
Chemical inventory setup
We help you import or add your chemicals, SDS files, hazards and expiry dates — then fill the hazard gaps from PubChem in one pass.
Equipment, rooms & labs
Shared kit and rooms on one calendar with conflict detection and training gating, grouped under the labs that hold them.
QR codes & label sheets
Print labels for your chemicals and kit on the A4 sheets you already buy, so anyone can scan to see a record, book it or report a fault.
Service, faults & parts
Service history and next-service-due dates, fault reporting that takes a machine out of the calendar, and a record of which consumables each instrument takes.
Safety records that hold up
COSHH assessments built from your own chemical hazards, an incident and near-miss register whose report can't be edited after filing, and point-of-work checks signed at the bench.
SOPs & instrument programmes
Controlled documents with read-and-sign records, and the run conditions your machines execute, versioned alongside them.
Sustainability & accreditation
Operational indicators — sharing, utilisation, surplus — plus LEAF, My Green Lab and SPARKHub checklists, with a PDF you can take to an assessment.
Founder-supported setup
Direct help getting set up — not a ticket queue. We want your lab to actually use it.
What the pilot is not
We'd rather be clear up front than over-promise. The pilot does not include:
- Bespoke software development
- Guaranteed cleanup of messy legacy data
- A formal COSHH assessment (we organise records; the assessment stays yours)
- Certified carbon accounting
- A full LIMS or electronic lab notebook (ELN)
- A procurement / purchasing system
- Unlimited support
How the 60 days work
1. Setup
A short call, then we configure your pilot together — inventory, equipment, rooms, QR codes.
2. Use it for real
Your team works the way they actually do: search chemicals, book kit, log faults, scan QR codes.
3. Decide
Review what changed. Continue as a founding member at 25% off your first year, or walk away — no lock-in.
How we'll know it worked
Simple, honest measures — not vanity metrics. By day 60 you should have:
- Chemical records added or imported
- Equipment records created
- QR labels printed and tested
- Bookings made on shared kit
- A fault or service record tested
- A near miss or incident filed for real
- Sustainability dashboard reviewed
- Your team gives honest feedback
- A clear decision at day 60
Founding programme
Continue after the pilot and get 25% off your first year, founder-led setup and direct input into the roadmap. Limited founding places.
Ready for your security review
What we have and what we don’t is written down, in plain terms, before you ask — including the gaps. Federated sign-in and third-party certification aren’t there yet (two-step sign-in with an authenticator app is), and our security page says so.

Pilot questions, answered
What does the pilot cost?+
The 60-day pilot is about proving value, not a sales trap. If you continue afterwards, founding members get 25% off their first year plus founder-led setup. See the pricing page for the full tiers and founding rates.
Who owns our data, and can we get it back?+
You do. Your data stays yours and you can export it in open formats at any time. If you don't continue, you can take your records with you.
Where is our data hosted?+
In the UK — on Supabase in the London region, with per-organisation isolation enforced at the database level. See the Security page and Trust Centre for the detail.
Is it secure enough for procurement to look at?+
We keep a Trust Centre, a Security overview, a Data Processing Agreement (Article 28), a record of processing, and an incident-response policy — all available now. Role-based access and audit logging are built in.
Can the rest of my team join?+
Yes. Admins can invite colleagues by email or share a join code, with role-based permissions so people only see what they should.
What if we decide not to continue?+
That's fine — there's no lock-in. You export your data and we part as friends. Honest feedback from a pilot that didn't fit is still valuable to us.
Is this a COSHH assessment or carbon accounting?+
No. We help you organise the records and operational indicators that support COSHH and sustainability reporting — but the formal COSHH assessment stays your responsibility, and we don't produce certified carbon figures.
