For scientists to have the power to produce results promptly and pivot when needed, they have to have what they need when they need it. An efficient stockroom and point-of-use inventory management system gets them exactly that.

That’s why Avantor developed Inventory Manager, our proprietary, cloud-based software designed to serve as the central transactional and intelligence hub for 360-degree visibility at the enterprise level. Real-time reporting and customized, on-demand replenishment of your lab’s consumables help make supply stockout and overstock problems of the past. Plus, Inventory Manager is scalable to fit your lab’s evolving needs.

With Inventory Manager, your lab leverages an end-to-end product management ecosystem that streamlines and automates time-consuming tasks so your focus is exactly where it should be: research and results.

CUSTOMIZED INVENTORY MANAGEMENT – GLOBAL ACCESS TO LAB CONSUMABLES, CHEMICALS AND SUPPLIES

Flexible, customizable and scalable inventory management solutions designed for your lab’s operations.

Inventory Manager’s cloud-based functionality, accessible from any browser and a variety of device types, streamlines insights and personalizes the user experience with:

  • Customizable dashboard and widgets

Simplifying your lab’s inventory management begins with complete visibility into what your lab needs – and what it doesn’t – to minimize waste and manage spend. Inventory Manager’s robust platform easily integrates into your lab’s procurement systems to provide:

  • Metrics at the SKU level, addressing overhead, usage, turns and no-move stock
  • Lab location or research unit-specific data on consumption, replenishment, product expiration dates and repeat buys
  • Activity log to track transactions
  • Customized reporting modes – scheduled or ad hoc – so you can access critical data anytime, anywhere
  • A total chemical management solution, including end-to-end tracking and container-level visibility of onsite and offsite chemicals, provided by our proprietary Chemical Manager software, Inventory Manager’s partner software

Inventory Manager provides the supply chain customization your research demands; its vendor-agnostic platform supports thousands of manufacturing products globally, including the millions of products available through our channel brand, VWR.

Adding Avantor’s Hardware Solutions, from vending machines to point-of-use storage – where a simple hand scan of inventory syncs automatically with Inventory Manager – completes your lab’s unique ecosystem.

Your customized supply chain also benefits from optimized onsite replenishment with:

  • Vending machines – Track cost control down to user level and eliminate expense of expedited procurement and rush shipping costs
  • Self-checkout kiosks – Real-time inventory and lean cycle counting supported by user-friendly technology
  • Onsite and digital support teams – To help you get started or even provide a customized inventory management solution

Eliminate administrative overhead and get time back for science with Inventory Manager’s automated capabilities including:

  • Invoice reconciliation
  • Purchase order management and reduction

  • Customized unit of measure
  • Tracking users and cost center departments
  • Picking or requesting articles
