CHEMICAL INVENTORY - Web based software (chemoventory v3.1)

Chemical Inventory

What is chemoventory :

Chemoventory is web-based software for managing chemicals, chemical users, MSDS and optimize purchase of chemicals.

There are two ways you can use Chemoventory:
1. Download/Purchase chemoventory Software to install in your location
2. Software as a service (SaaS)

Chemoventory software comes in three versions: Free Lite version, one time paid Standard version and one time paid developer version. Developer and standard version are identical, except stanfard version is compiled and binary file, which cannot be read by humans and cannot be modified for your own development.
If all of your chemicals are within one location and less than 10 users, then Lite version is recommended otherwise choose standard or developer version. If installation or resources are constraint, then we suggest choosing Software as a Service (SaaS).

Software as a service (SaaS)

Chemoventory standard version is also offered as SaaS. What is this means? We provide you web server, database server, hosting and dedicated chemoventory software and database just installed for you ready to use from our hosting provider.

Everything worked perfectly! Thanks to your help. Remember to send your invoice ... It was a pleasure doing business with you!
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 Standard 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 databse 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
