New Online Research Supply Ordering System Launching in January 2014
Online ordering for chemicals and lab supplies from Central Research Stores (CRS) and Campus Scientific Store (CSS) will transition to a new online system in January.
In January 2014, the Office of Research Support Services will transition from the current online ordering system for Central Research Stores (CRS) and Campus Scientific Store (CSS) to a system developed by iLabsolutions. The iLabs Product Core module will be the primary platform for UGA faculty and staff to order chemicals and lab supplies from CRS, CSS, and the Coverdell Stockroom. The transition to iLabs was prompted by an aging ordering system that was not compatible with most web browsers and lacked security features that are common on current computer systems.
The ordering process will have several noticeable enhancements:
- In-stock items from all three locations will be visible during the customer order process
- Catalog items from major scientific vendors are already loaded for easy access to product listings
- Only your UGAID and password will be required to access the new system
- Electronic invoicing for all orders
Look for more updates in December about training and system orientation.
