The Challenge

A university science department needed a centralized platform for managing research data across multiple labs and research groups. Their existing solution—a mix of spreadsheets, local databases, and file shares—made collaboration difficult and data integrity a constant concern.

Key Requirements

Secure, role-based access for researchers, lab managers, and administrators
Structured data collection with validation and audit trails
Integration with lab equipment for automated data capture
Data visualization and basic statistical analysis tools
Export capabilities for publication and grant reporting
