### "Quartzy"

April 21, 2020

5.0

Pros

Ease of use. Customer service is quite reliable.

Cons

There had been instances where we were put on back order without notice. Products were also cancelled without sufficient notice because supplier discontinued product.

### "Quartzy Review"

April 16, 2020

4.0

It speeds up material requests and ordering.

Pros

The product is really easy to use and implement. Having a central tool for users to request items and admins approve and purchase is helpful so as to not have to create and manage this business process. Being able to re-order items quickly is nice to have without having to keep track independently.

Cons

It takes quite a number of steps for the admin to get through checkout. Also if there can be an amount limit tiers that can be set for what requires approval and what does not and who needs to approve based on the limit.

Reason for choosing Quartzy

There was no system prior to Quartzy. The lab relied on one person who had individual accounts with different suppliers to order items.

### "Quartz Makes Lab Work Efficient"

April 24, 2020

5.0

I cannot see our lab using any other software for purchasing. Prior to Quartzy, we manually documented purchases with shared excel sheets, which became unorganized very quickly. I would recommend Quartzy to any lab.

Pros

The ease of finding products through a single database makes purchasing for our lab simple and organized. There is also the fact that Quartzy automatically compares the price of the requested product to similar products from other vendors.

Cons

The inventory system may sometimes be difficult to manage. However, the tab system makes it easier than before.

### "Quartzy is near invaluable"

April 16, 2020

4.0

Quartzy has been incredibly important in the lab. We use it all the time to order or reorder things that maybe we don't remember where we got it. Item numbers and information are all readily available.

Pros

This makes ordering things for our laboratory very simple and streamlined. They often have good prices when ordering through them, but it does not limit you to purchasing through them if you find a better deal.

Cons

Some of the prices are marked up, even with the "discount" but honestly this is remedied by checking prices yourself and ordering that way.

### "Great product for lab organization"

April 28, 2020

5.0

Quartzy is a great tool for organizing the lab inventory as well as ordering new items.

Pros

Quartzy allows anyone in the lab to add items that need to be ordered. It is very easy and intuitive to use. Even our undergraduate students can have accounts and use Quartzy. It also allows you to add where each item can be found.

Cons

Quartzy at one time had sections for lab recipes/SOPs and documents, but this feature was removed at some point along the way. We miss it!

### "Very conviniet and free"

April 16, 2020

4.0

Quartzy team is very helpful, responsive an trusted.

Pros

Multiple users at one time can. Easy track of orders. Easy track of inventory.

Cons

A bit slow, when there is a lot of data. No field for CAS number for items in the orders tab. This is very important. This is the best way to find a hazard material in this data base, I wish the Quartzy team will add it.

### "User friendly and good for lab organization"

April 16, 2020

5.0

I am the lab manager for my research group. Quartzy is a convenient way for me to place orders and update existing inventory all in one place.

Pros

Maintaining inventory is really easy, sorting things into categories. Its an easy way to allow everyone to put in their order requests in one place.

Cons

The shop section could be better organized for a more convenient experience.

### "Quartzy has helped us save time and MONEY!"

April 16, 2020

5.0

Quartzy has made purchasing so easy, saves us time, and importantly has saves us hundreds. This means more money to buy other items.

Pros

My favorite thing about Quartzy is how easy to use the software is, how quickly we got it set up, and the ability to save money by purchasing through quartzy. I also really love the feature to have a list of previously purchased items with detailed information, and the ability to update order status to inform the team when an item is received.

Cons

My least favorite thing about quartzy is its lack of barcode scanning features or looking up items using image capturing technology, but I am being ambitious.

Reason for choosing Quartzy

Our alternative was a printed spreadsheet, which was a nightmare.

### "Streamlined ordering and saves money"

April 28, 2020

5.0

Saves money. Saves time.

Pros

We started using Quartz to order lab supplies and it has saved both time and money! Their system will automatically search for similar, cheaper products throughout the internet and has saved our company loads of money.

Cons

Some products are unavailable through Quartzy, so we have not been able to use it exclusively.

### "Quartzy quickly brings structure and order to chaotic ordering process"

April 28, 2020

4.0

Pros

Quartzy made implementing organization around our purchasing process simple and easy for a startup where every second matters. It instantly brought structure and centrality for everyone to use in this time of social distancing and work from home. Forgot individual emails or a shared document, those methods are things of the past. Quartzy is easy to implement, easy to customize, and most importantly FREE!

Cons

It would be nice to be able to add a required by date on a request without marking it as "Urgent". If I could add this information without the stress the "urgent" label brings to our lab manager, we could better group and consolidate orders to achieve maximum discounts. The ability to label by date needed and then sort by this field with a secondary sort by vendor would be extremely valuable.

### "Great for research enterprise, but limits in crosstalk with other applications"

April 16, 2020

4.0

Pros

Quartzy allowed for a centralized database that simplifies the ordering process for our Institute, with the added benefit of offering comparison shopping suggestions that more often than not are really great deals. We have definitely saved a considerable amount of money using this exceedingly simple to use platform.

Cons

There are no APIs to talk to other software platforms, so implementation of crosstalk to financial software for the generation of purchase orders and tracking budgets/spending is exceedingly difficult without having to jump through hoops or duplicate efforts. This is the greatest weakness of the Quartzy platform.
