Your Lab Details
What counts as an inventory event?
Any manual interaction with your inventory records — logging a
new reagent arrival, checking a stock level, recording a usage,
updating an expiry date, investigating a discrepancy, or
preparing a report. In a typical mid-size pharma lab, this
includes daily stock walks, reagent receipts, disposal logs, and
weekly audit prep.
