Project Objectives

Develop a modern, cross-platform mobile application (iOS and Android) for efficient lab inventory management.
Improve scientist productivity by reducing time spent on inventory tasks.
Enhance data quality and traceability through digital workflows.
Ensure compliance with regulatory standards and industry certifications.
Enable seamless collaboration between laboratory personnel and internal teams.
Implement a versioning system for controlled application updates.
Improve the user experience for web application users.

Functional Requirements

Mobile scanning of lab consumables using smartphone cameras.
Real-time inventory tracking and monitoring.
Access to detailed information about consumables (SDS, owner, expiry dates, location, usage, disposal).
Compliance monitoring and audit readiness features.
User role-based access control.
Versioning functionality for application updates.
Web application with enhanced UI/UX for administrative and reporting tasks.

Preferred Technologies

Flutter (for cross-platform mobile development)

Backend integration (details TBD)

RFID/NFC/UHF antenna integration

Cloud infrastructure (details TBD)

Integrations Required

Existing Merck backend systems
RFID/NFC/UHF hardware
Potentially with other internal Merck systems (e.g., procurement, quality control)

Key Non-Functional Requirements

Scalability to accommodate future growth.
High performance and responsiveness.
Robust security to protect sensitive inventory data.
Reliability and availability.
Compliance with data privacy regulations.

Expected Business Impact

The project is expected to deliver a 97% faster inventory management process, improve data accuracy, reduce manual errors, enhance compliance, and empower scientists to focus on research and development. The cross-platform solution will broaden the application's reach and enable faster iteration on feature enhancements.
