[labnetwork] Booking Management System

[Clark O.D.]

Dear all, at the UoS Nanofab we currently use a system called Phoenix to manage our users, tool bookings, and report generation. Unfortunately due to an acquisition of the vendor there is a possibility that support for the software will be dropped soon, leaving us with the issue of whether to adopt development or replace the system. I know some other UK facilities are in a similar situation. Before Pheonix we had an in house solution but this was found to be inadequate in several ways (mostly tied to monitoring and funding).

I would be very interested to know if you use any other management software that could be recommended. At a minimum it must handle user details/training per tool, zoning, tool maintenance settings, user notifications, calendar bookings, budget code tracking, and report generation E.g. tool uptime/utilisation or a breakdown of tool spend per budget code etc.

Best regards, Owain
