Inventory Workgroup
Inventory Workgroup is an application designed to manage the chemical and reagent tracking needs of laboratories and research centers. The system manages data associated with both commercially procured and internally produced chemical substances from their procurement or initial production through their depletion and disposal. Inventory Workgroup is a thick-client SQLServer-based product which is suited for any size organization.
The three primary entities in an Inventory system are Locations, Containers, and Substances.
- A Location is defined as any physical location where a container, plate, or another location can be stored.
- An inventory Container represents a physical container capable of storing chemical substances.
- An inventory Substance represents a chemical entity which can be expressed as a two dimensional chemical structure drawing.
Inventory Workgroup includes on-line access to ChemACX, CambridgeSoft’s collection of over 350 catalogs of chemical products and suppliers.
An important feature of the Inventory application is the ability for users to add MSDS to the database, as well as search both the Inventory and the ChemACX databases for relevant MSDS. The ChemACX database has over 20,000 MSDS that are searchable from the Inventory interface. This feature allows users to have instant access to material safety data.
Solution Offerings:
-
Inventory Workgroup 12.0 Suite
Inventory Workgroup Upgrade upgrades the premier Inventory Desktop application for use with SQL Server and up to 100 users. The Workgroup solution offers much of the functionality delivered in Inventory Enterprise, while using SQL Server as the database, instead of Oracle. This eliminates the cost and maintenance involved with an Oracle based application, but still maintains a robust solution suitable for a smaller group's needs.
Inventory Workgroup manages container data for an organization through an easy to use thick client Windows interface. Learning to use and administer the application is quick and straightforward due to the familiar user interface elements incorporated into the application.
