What Is Lab Management Software?

It is the shared system of record for a lab's day-to-day operations: what reagents and consumables you have, where your samples are and where they have been, which instruments are due for service, and which version of each procedure is current. Spreadsheets can hold the data, but they can't answer "what needs attention today?" — a lab management platform can.

Laboratory inventory

Items, lots, and stock as separate concepts — quantities per location, minimum-stock alerts, and expiry tracking in 30/60/90-day buckets.

Sample tracking

Location history, status, ownership, and aliquot relationships for every sample — so "where is it?" always has an answer.

Equipment management

Maintenance and calibration schedules with certificates, warranty tracking, and dashboard alerts when service is due.

SOP management

Draft → review → approve → active → superseded, with version numbers, effective dates, and per-version acknowledgements.

Operational alerts

A dashboard of what needs attention today — expired lots, low stock, calibrations due, SOP reviews — plus scheduled email digests.

Permissions and audit trail

Each lab is its own organization with role-based permissions, and an audit trail records who changed what and when.

Focus

Built for Small and Growing Labs

Enterprise lab systems are powerful — and heavy. They assume implementation projects, validation teams, and budgets to match. ScientivoLab covers the operations a small or growing lab actually performs daily, so you can sign up in the morning and import your inventory the same afternoon. If your lab later outgrows it into a full LIMS, your data is in a structured system — not scattered across spreadsheets.

Migration

Move From Spreadsheets to a Lab System

  • Upload a CSV of your items. The importer validates every row, shows a preview, and only writes what you confirm.
  • Map your locations. Rooms, freezers, and shelves as a simple hierarchy — then put stock where it lives.
  • Invite your lab. Roles from viewer to owner keep day-to-day access right without per-person setup.
  • Let alerts do the chasing. Email and in-app digests for expiry, low stock, and reviews.
Organization

Keep Your Lab's Data Organized

Every record belongs to your organization, and every query is scoped to it — so shared facilities can keep each lab's data separated. Role-based permissions control who can view, create, edit, or delete, and an audit trail records who changed what and when. Your data is yours to export and take with you.

Fit

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Software that keeps a lab's operational records — inventory, samples, equipment, and procedures — in one shared, searchable system, instead of scattered across spreadsheets, notebooks, and memory.

No — and that's deliberate. A LIMS manages lab workflows around sample test results. ScientivoLab is lab operations software: inventory, samples, equipment, and SOPs for labs that need order and visibility, not a full LIMS. Read the comparison.

Yes. Each lab is an organization with its own data, members, and roles. Every query is scoped to the active organization, and an audit trail records changes.

Upload a CSV of your items — the importer validates every row, shows a preview, and only writes what you confirm. Locations and suppliers can be set up in minutes.

Plans are priced per lab, not per user, starting with a free plan. See pricing for the details.
