What our clients say about us
“Our lab is set in a campus hosting multiple research organizations, so a scheduling platform that is not fixed to a domain name was a must. That, together with the ease of use and possibilities to engage with our users, has made PPMS an unmissable tool.”
“The ability of the facility managers, administration, research groups, and the director to access costs and equipment usage is essential. The Stratocore solution allows us to have at-hand the strategic tools to manage research costs, equipment, maintenance contracts, and staffing provision.”
“I can't say enough good things about the Stratocore team. Their support is outstanding, and I really appreciate the fact they have directly worked (and continue to work) in core facilities and understand first-hand the challenges and nuances of the job.”
“The CRUK Cambridge Institute implemented Stratocore in 2016 across our 14 core facilities. The solution has proved absolutely revolutionary in terms of reducing the administrative burden of running our facilities, significantly improving the speed and accuracy of our monthly invoicing.”
“We have found Stratocore to be invaluable in so many areas of operation. From a user perspective, it’s beautifully simple to book or cancel equipment time or to order services, and it’s easy to keep users informed of maintenance issues. You can define precise booking rules that help maximize equipment availability and keep your researchers happy.”
