We have a computer and label maker dedicated for chemical registration. Our custom software allows a user to register the chemical. Upon registration, a label is printed and the details is uploaded to a google spreadsheet. The label contains a storage code that new students use to match with a appropriate storage cabinet. Here's what our spreadsheet looks like now:</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cUVMhzxE6NiS3t1xE1GWebd9wTs2n9D1IoqtdzN6Osw/edit#gid=1440247124" class="">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cUVMhzxE6NiS3t1xE1GWebd9wTs2n9D1IoqtdzN6Osw/edit#gid=1440247124</a></div><div class="">This googlesheet is shared with every user to facilitate sharing of chemicals.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">When we need room, we announce a purge.

I’m sure the responses will be quite diverse. I can image many people are either using an Excel sheet or maybe something built into their lab management software. We utilize Badger LMS here and it has inventory capabilities; however, it is a bit cumbersome. I was hoping someone has found something that integrates well with mobile devices, maybe app driven. As we have grown our facility, inventory management has become a more complex beast. Also, I’d be curious who manages your inventory. Do you have a dedicated person or is it a team effort? Is it staff driven or do your users participate in any way?<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri;" class=""><span style="font-size: 11pt;" class=""><o:p class=""> </o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;
