Manage your lab inventory and school bookings

Keep track of equipment, quantities and storage locations. On a School plan, teachers share a catalogue and request rooms and equipment for practicals.

The Lab Manager catalogue with equipment, quantities, storage locations and coloured tags.

Find the equipment you need for the next practical

  • Search the catalogue and filter by storage location or tag
  • Record quantity and optional units for each storage row, with capacity kept separate
  • Keep different units separate, such as 20 g in one location and 5 kg in another
  • Add condition, purchase date and a link to the item's manual

Use a private inventory or a shared school catalogue

  • The Teacher plan includes your own private inventory and assignment equipment plans
  • An active School plan gives its teachers a shared catalogue, managed rooms and booking requests
  • School admins appoint teacher technicians to help prepare practicals
  • Joining a school keeps your earlier private inventory in a separate, owner-only archive

Request a school room and equipment for your class

  • Choose a room and equipment when creating an assignment, or add a separate request in Requests
  • Add the date, school-local time, class and number of students
  • A school admin or technician approves the request after Plot45 checks room clashes and available stock
  • Pending requests reserve nothing. Approval reserves equipment for that interval without deducting stock
  • Students see the relevant resource summary with their assignment. Private instructions stay out of the shared booking card
