Quartzy Lab Ordering Guide
Overview: Quartzy is our primary tool for all lab ordering activities. Each ordered item undergoes a lifecycle, from request to placement in its designated location. Quartzy serves key purposes in our lab:
1. Centralized Purchase Request Organization: We consolidate all purchase requests in Quartzy, ensuring visibility for all lab members.
2. Communication Hub for Ordering: Quartzy is our central platform for ordering communication. Communicate with Oded and others, and attach all paperwork and notes relevant to the purchase within Quartzy.
3. Real-Time Budget Tracking: We evaluate our spending against the budget in real time with Quartzy.
4. Inventory Management: Quartzy helps manage our inventory by listing all arrived items.
