What Our Users Say

Stanford University logo with a red block 'S' and a green tree inside.

We loved the design, and the ability to have various access control and training configurations. Once we got to see the basic design and ease of use of Bookitlab, we could not look at any other software.

The whole team of about 10 people chose this software over all other software. It wasn’t even a question! As a few of the team members said: “You get what you pay for, and this software totally worth the pay!"

"We setup Bookitlab last year and haven’t looked back. The system is a great way to maximize utility on all our core equipment.

Bookitlab allows us to schedule equipment and manage user fees with ease. It also makes adjusting those schedules painless. Amir and his team have been tremendous in customizing our setup to meet our needs.

I would highly recommend Bookitlab as a great value."

FutuRx logo with the tagline The biotech accelerator.

One of the most important regulatory issues is the electronic signature. In the paper notebooks, it was very difficult to track and monitor the signatures. Today, with Bookitlab ELN, I can easily ensure that all trials are signed according to the 21 CFR part 11 FDA guidelines.

The ability to use BookitLab ELN as a solution for quality control creates a significant tool to manage information and knowledge in the bioincubators.

Unequivocally, I would recommend a Biotech company to use Bookitlab ELN. It helps in the documentation, ordering and ease of access to submission to regulatory authorities and most importantly, provides a prompt support and excellent customer service for any problem

As director of the Interdepartmental Core Facility at the Sackler School of Medicine I really needed a program that would allow me to monitor and control booking, usage and billing of the many devices in our ever growing unit.

I finally found Bookitlab which has proven to be the answer to task. The installation of Bookitlab in our unit has yielded increased availability, fair user time allocation and overall financial management. All these are now simplified and computerized.At present we have over 150 research labs with 500 registered users on line using our facilities.

We are very pleased with Bookitlab and recommend it highly.
