Case Study: Brown University saves time and money with Quartzy

Implementation at the department level eliminating purchase and research roadblocks.

Brown University’s Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry needed a better way to manage supply requests across 30 labs. Before Quartzy, order requests arrived by email, records were printed and filed manually, and each lab tracked inventory in its own inconsistent way, creating delays, communication errors, and research roadblocks.

With Quartzy’s supply request tracking dashboard, Effortless Quotes, and inventory manager, Brown centralized ordering, standardized inventory tracking, and improved communication across labs and administrators. Quartzy helped Brown save tens of thousands of dollars, reduce the time between ordering and delivery, and eliminate supply-related research interruptions.
