Lab Equipment Management, But Make It Smart — No More Missing Items
Laboratories are among the most resource-intensive spaces in educational institutions. Managing lab equipment manually often leads to lost tools, untracked usage, and delayed maintenance. A digital Inventory Management System (IMS) offers a smarter, more reliable way to monitor, maintain, and utilize lab resources effectively.
