The idea for LabSpy came from working closely with a small biotech lab and watching what actually happened day to day. Reagents expired unnoticed in the back of the -80°C freezer. Purchase orders were duplicated because nobody knew someone had already ordered the tips. PhD students spent twenty minutes looking for a bottle that was on Shelf 2 of Fridge A the whole time.
When we asked why they didn't use dedicated software, the answer was always the same: enterprise LIMS cost more than their reagent budgets, took months to implement, and were built for pharma companies with IT departments, not a ten-person academic group.
So we built LabSpy. Not a simplified version of enterprise software. Something designed from the ground up for how small research labs actually work: affordable, plug-and-play, and specific enough to be genuinely useful on day one.
Most lab software tries to do everything and ends up doing nothing well. LabSpy is deliberately focused.
If your team is between 5 and 50 people and you're still using spreadsheets, LabSpy was built specifically for you.
