Once we run out of something, we simply pull up quartzy, and it is already there in our inventory. When I hit 'request', quartzy has the lowest offer come up. great for savings\!\! > > **Cons**: sometimes quartzy orders are slower than orders from VWR. however, only by a couple days. > > A great tool for our lab\! thank you\! ----- ### "Experience with Quartzy" — 5.0/5 > **Sima** | *16 April 2020* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It provides an user-friendly interface for us to manage all the ordering and stock in the lab. We can easily track the orders and manger the items we have in the lab. Especially for a big lab like us, this is really helpful. > > **Cons**: Overall is good; just sometimes the website is a bit slow. ----- ### "Good for basic lab management" — 3.0/5 > **Ashley** | *16 April 2020* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The site is pretty self explanatory and not hard to use, making it easy for those who are not technologically aware. > > **Cons**: I dislike how Quartzy will "recommend" similar products and make the dashboard look and feel cluttered. The search bar is also pretty useless, since it'll either be too specific and not find what you are looking for or be too general and give you things you originally weren't searching for. I also really dislike how Quartzy makes it a lot harder to revert a requested item back to its original vendor. It's as if it wants to make it difficult/not possible so that you're forced to purchase through Quartzy. > > Quartzy is overall "okay." There isn't much to complain about, but there isn't much to rave about either. The platform does its job. However, since our lab does most of the purchasing there seems to be a disconnect between our lab and Accounting, even though we all have access to the site. I wish there were more admin/organization features that allows better tracking of received items so there is better communication between us (the purchaser) and our accounts payable (the payer), thus allowing for more timely payments to both Quartzy and outside vendors. ----- ### "Great tool for small labs" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 December 2019* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can't beat the free price\! We use this to manage lab orders, and it has worked well for the most part. It is easy to search for vendors, and the catalog number usually auto-populates for orders that have been completed before. You can also see what others in the lab have ordered so that you can avoid duplicates. You can even set up a lab inventory to track what you have or don't have. It makes it easy for lab managers to approve requests, and then either order it ourselves or send it up to finance to approve and then order. > > **Cons**: We have a period in time where our lab grew very large, and Quartzy became a little less optimal in that situation. I had to keep track of multiple orders and ended up making a spreadsheet to track stuff rather than relying on quartzy, which has a rather cumbersome interface if you have to track 30+ orders a day. Also, it sends a lot of emails unless you opt out, but then you miss updates on urgent requests people make. I would love to see more customizable notifications. > > It has helped to streamline our ordering process, which used to just be a communial google doc and which got really slow after a few thousand orders. This has made it eas to search in an orderly faschion by catalog number, so that we can be sure to order the same item for consistency. It also speeds up the ordering process since I can approve orders electronically rather than signing them each time. Everything is organized nicely and can be exported to a list if an audit ever happens. There are even quartzy special prices which sometimes are better than vendor ones. ----- ### "Positively changed the way we manage our lab" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *28 April 2020* | Biotechnology | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Quartzy serves as our lab inventory and chemical management software as well as the primary site we use to place orders and price-match. It allows us to segment the lab to better organize the storage of components, making the tracking of inventory much more simple and streamlined. Ordering and reordering is a breeze - things that we have previously purchased can be ordered again in seconds, and new products are price-matched and shopped around to various vendors. A final (huge) perk is the discounts and free shipping provided from various vendors, often making it cheaper to order through Quartzy rather than deal with obtaining quotes directly. > > **Cons**: The biggest problem we face is a lack of transparency regarding backorders and shipping delays. I understand that much of this the fault of the specific vendor and not something easily solved, but there seem to be a variety of chemical suppliers that show up in a search with great prices, but who never see to actually stock any inventory. It would be nice to have a way to remove those suppliers from a custom search. > > Really enjoy the software for the types of work that we do, and it has made a major impact on the organization and ordering of our chemical inventory. I would highly recommend to any lab that purchases chemicals and biological components on a regular basis, or who is looking for a fairly flexible inventory system. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/150604/quartzy?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/150604/quartzy) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
