When considering lab management software, many immediately think of a LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System). LIMS are powerful, comprehensive tools designed for complex data management, workflow automation, and instrument integration. However, for many small to medium-sized labs, a full LIMS can be overkill—massively expensive, complex to implement, and often requiring dedicated IT resources. Crucially, while a LIMS has an inventory module, its expiry tracking often isn't the primary focus or as robustly proactive as a dedicated solution.
The specific, acute pain of expiry management (reagents, calibrations, samples) often gets lost in the broader functionality of a LIMS, or its alerts are too generic. Labs often end up still using spreadsheets for critical expiry tracking, even with a LIMS in place.
