Chemical Inventory

What is chemoventory :

Chemoventory is a web based software for managing chemicals, managing users using chemicals, plan and monitor purchase of chemicals, manage properties, buildings and customize to suite your needs. It has ability to generate bar coding , msds management, set alert emails to each owner if the chemicals need to be ordered or for chemicals expiring in next 7 days.

Chemoventory comes in two version: Lite and Standard version. Lite version is free but has limited functionality. Lite version is ideal for lab/institute/company with single lab or all chemicals in one building and less than 10 chemists and or chemical users and for all those who want enjoy the free version.

If more than 10 chemical users and/ or more than one location of chemicals and/ or if you want to manage chemicals, users and want to add extra functionality, we recommend Standard version. Lite version can be easily upgraded to standard version without changing the database entries.

Thanks! -Adam
I really like the software ... The documentation is excellent indeed -- it helped me get the system working when even our IT people could not. Anyway I am eager to receive the full version. Thank you again for your detailed response.
I purchased the Academic version through paypal. I have had colleagues that have used your software before and I am really exited about using it for our school!
We're interested in getting rid of our clunky Access database we use now for chemical inventory, and the Lite version of your software seems to be an ideal approach. We've got everything set up on the back end to handle your software already, too
