RIMS is used for managing the supply chain from its source to the laboratory bench. Using our innovative Web to RIMS interface, we can link on-site inventory to your current ordering process. RIMS provides improved inventory management and efficiency, resulting in reduced inventory costs, improved manpower utilization and increased availability of supplies. This means improved working capital for you.
