A free lab inventory software is a secure, online platform where laboratory staff can log in to manage and track their inventory—such as chemicals, samples, equipment, and consumables. It centralizes all inventory information so you don’t have to rely on spreadsheets or paper logs. This helps your team stay organized, reduces errors, and ensures everyone has up-to-date access to what’s available in the lab.
Softr makes it easy to build a lab inventory system that fits the way your lab operates. You can connect your existing data—like inventory lists in Airtable, storage locations in Notion, or equipment logs in Google Sheets—and set up a portal where staff can log in, check inventory status, update quantities, and manage requests, all in one place.
You don’t need to code. You can start with a template or build your own solution, customize the layout, control user access, and brand it for your lab. It’s quick to set up, simple to maintain, and flexible enough to evolve with your lab's needs. This helps keep your inventory organized and easy to manage.
You can build a variety of features tailored to your lab’s workflow. Some of the most common ones include:
- User logins – so every lab member can access their own dashboard or inventory records
- Custom dashboards – to show stock levels, reorder alerts, or equipment status
- Forms – for adding new inventory items, requesting supplies, or logging equipment use
- File sharing – for uploading safety data sheets or equipment manuals
- Search and filters – to help users quickly find items or check expiry dates
- Tables, lists, and detail views – to display chemicals, samples, or consumables
- Comments or status updates – to note usage, maintenance, or issues
- Charts – to visualize inventory trends or usage rates
- Calendar view – for tracking reorder dates, equipment calibration, or sample expiration
- Permissions and roles – so different lab members can only access what they need
All features can be created with Softr’s drag-and-drop tools, so you don’t need to write any code. If your inventory process changes, it’s easy to update the system.
No coding is required. You can build your free lab inventory software completely using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from the dashboard layout to user permissions can be customized without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple labs or research teams in a single instance of the free lab inventory software. Each user only sees the inventory and data assigned to them, based on their login and role. This is especially useful for universities, research institutions, or organizations with several labs or departments.
Softr supports a wide range of data sources for your lab inventory software. You can connect to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also connect other sources using the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one. Multiple data sources can be integrated into the same lab inventory app and displayed together—so, for example, your software could pull in inventory data from both Airtable and Google Sheets. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, keeping your inventory data up to date automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how users interact with your free lab inventory software. You can customize the layout, navigation, and content to fit your lab’s needs and workflow. Each page or block can be shown or hidden based on who’s logged in, so each researcher, technician, or manager only sees what’s relevant to them.
You can also define different user roles, such as lab member, admin, or inventory manager—and set exactly what each role can view or edit. For example, lab members might only see available stock, while admins can update or manage all inventory records. You can also create personalized inventory views by filtering data for each user.
This level of customization is particularly helpful when managing multiple labs, teams, or inventory types in the same software. It helps keep the experience organized, secure, and tailored to each user.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to bring your lab data from another tool to start using the free lab inventory software built with Softr. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is built into the platform and integrates seamlessly with your inventory management app.
If you already track lab inventory in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those as well. You can also bring in data via the REST API connector. Either way, you have full control over how your lab inventory is structured and displayed.
Yes, you can fully white-label your free lab inventory software built with Softr. You can use your own lab or institution's logo, brand colors, fonts, and even your custom domain to make the inventory system feel like a seamless part of your organization. All Softr branding can be removed, so users only see your lab’s identity throughout the entire experience.
Absolutely. Softr gives you extensive control to customize the design and layout of your free lab inventory software. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and page structure to fit your lab’s branding or workflow needs. You can decide how each page is organized, which blocks to display, and what information different users see when they log in.
To display inventory data, you can use several types of blocks:
- Table blocks – for structured data like equipment lists, chemical inventories, or reagent tracking
- List or Card blocks – to highlight items such as recent orders, equipment reservations, or inventory categories
- Detail View – to show information about a specific item, like usage history or safety details
- Forms – for submitting new inventory requests or updates
- Charts – to visualize stock levels or usage trends
- Calendar blocks – to display equipment booking schedules or expiry dates
If your inventory management needs change, it’s easy to go back and update both content and design in the visual builder.
Softr is built with security as a top priority. All your lab inventory data is encrypted both in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your software is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. You get full control over who can see and edit what in your lab inventory system. You can set up role-based permissions, manage users within your data source, set visibility rules, and apply global restrictions to protect sensitive information across your entire app.
For inventory software connected to external sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr does not store your data—it displays it in real time based on your permissions. You’re always in control of your inventory data and who can access it.
Softr also follows industry best practices for authentication, access control, and monitoring to keep your lab information safe.
You can get started for free. Softr’s Free plan allows you to publish one lab inventory app with up to 10 users and 2 user groups, and supports all common data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more.
