About BookitLab
Lab Management Software Built for Research Since 2007
BookitLab is a comprehensive, highly configurable lab management platform developed specifically for scientific research institutions, core facilities, shared resource centers, universities, research hospitals, and biotechnology and pharmaceutical organizations.
Originally launched as Bookit in 2007, the software was designed to address the operational requirements of research facilities, particularly the management of shared scientific equipment, reservations, users, and facility services.
Over the years, BookitLab has evolved into an integrated platform supporting a broad range of laboratory and research management activities. Its development has been guided by close collaboration with scientists, core facility managers, and research administrators, whose practical experience continues to influence the software's functionality and development roadmap.
Today, BookitLab serves more than 100 scientific institutions worldwide, offering the flexibility to support individual laboratories, multi-facility research centers, and enterprise-wide installations.
Developed for the Requirements of Scientific Research
Managing scientific facilities involves much more than scheduling laboratory equipment. Research institutions must coordinate shared resources, control instrument access, manage user training and authorization, process service requests, track equipment usage, maintain laboratory assets, and administer billing and cost recovery.
These requirements become increasingly complex when multiple facilities, departments, and research groups operate within the same institution.
BookitLab addresses these challenges through a centralized, configurable system that accommodates different operational models while maintaining consistent management, access control, and reporting across the organization.
The platform has been developed through years of practical experience with research institutions, allowing us to provide both established functionality and the flexibility to address specialized facility requirements.
