PPMS is a leading online platform for scientific Core Facilities Management. Developed by practicing scientists, and continuously refined through user feedback, the software remains simple and user-friendly while offering powerful, flexible control for higher efficiency and productivity.
Experiments, services and consumables can be booked straight from the web-based software, anytime, anywhere. An intuitive, user-friendly interface means no user training is necessary.
An adaptable configuration can suit the nature of your core facilities and the visual identity of your organisation.
Plan experiments on shared facilities in three clicks, then keep track of who's doing what across multiple projects and sites, all in real-time.
Admin rights, resource limits, pricing rules, cancellation policies, session lengths and more, can all be controlled independently for each resource, project and user.
Compile detailed information on a wide range of statistics, such as staff training levels, incidents and maintenance, and facility usage.
Designed to scale to hundreds of users across multiple core facilities and sites, each with tailored rights and individual affiliations.
Classify projects by type and assign precise attributes to each, all across multiple core facilities.
Give users tailored admin rights, from 'super-admin staff' to separate rights for orders, systems, projects and reporting-only roles.
Improved email notification throughout the platform. Select exactly which project members receive notification each time an action is made.
Manage multiple core facilities with shared users, all from one database. Admin rights and individual parameters, including colours, logos and presentation, can be set per facility.
Give group managers and lab heads access to laboratory historical data including billing summaries, invoices and activity of users.
View bookings and scientific equipment calendars using RSS or iCal feeds to third-party calendars, including Google or Yahoo! Calendar.
Increase your margins with smart billing modes: booked time, real-time usage, or booked time adjusted with real-time use.
Control pricing using flexible rule-based systems, including subsidy and rebate capabilities.
Track and associate academic publications with research conducted at your facilities.
Allow developers to remotely modify content using third party scripts and programs via the PPMS API.
View and record who is using instruments in real-time and fix discrepancies automatically.
All communications use industry-standard SSL encryption and your data is owned by you: we never pass data to third parties.
We can even organise a nightly mirror of your data to your premises.
Get answers to your questions by phone or email, with critical incident support 24 hours a day, every day of the week.
Access training for no extra cost to get the best from your package.
Stratocore hosts PPMS as Software as a Service (SaaS) on its own servers, taking care of installation, maintenance and backup. If reliability falls below 99.9% we're happy to compensate you.
Alternatively, you can host PPMS on your own servers, with full support from Stratocore.
