How you buy on day one, without opening twenty supplier accounts.
What you care about most
Proving out the science and hitting your next milestone before you run out of money is what keeps you up at night. But every supplier you need to buy from means another account to open, another W-9, another login, another invoice to code. And every minute spent on that is a minute you're not spending moving your science forward.
What Quartzy gives you
20 million products. One PO.
Buy from the manufacturers you already trust through a single account, at prices that match or beat what you'd negotiate alone. We're the distributor of record, so the paperwork stops at us.
- Search 2,000+ manufacturers in one catalog, no vendor set-up
- One PO for dozens of top suppliers, no matter how many brands you buy
- Contract-level pricing from your first order, not your hundredth
- Real-time order status and one support team behind every line item
Free standard shipping on every order over $199
Customers routinely tell us the shipping savings alone cover what they pay for Quartzy.

Scaling the team
· 5–300 people
More people buying means you need a process.
What you care about most
Keeping the team fast while spend stays visible. At this size the orders come from everywhere, budgets are real, and finance needs answers about what was bought and who approved it before the month closes.
What Quartzy gives you
Request it, receive it, restock it. No matter who you buy it from.
Scientists request, managers approve, purchasing routes the PO, and every item lands back in inventory with its lot and expiration. Spend syncs to your accounting system the moment it happens.
- Request → approval → PO → receipt → invoice, all in one thread
- Approval rules by budget, site, project or dollar threshold
- Barcode check-in, reorder thresholds, expiration alerts
- Live spend visibility by team, project and grant
- Minutes to learn, business continuity when someone leaves

The constant at every stage
Three teams. One workflow.
Whatever stage you're at, these three roles are always in the loop. Research requests it. Lab Operations routes it. Finance reconciles it. At a two-person company, that can be one person; at a two-hundred-person company, it's three entire teams. Quartzy makes sure these functions stay in sync.

What customers are saying.
I've been in this industry for about a decade. I can honestly say Quartzy has given me the tools to succeed.
Ian LacadinInventory Management Coordinator · Champions Oncology
We've been using [Quartzy] to manage purchasing and inventory, and it's truly been one of my favorite tools to implement. As a Corporate Lab Manager with Co-Diagnostics, supporting four different sites, any time saved is gold. Thank you for your amazing program and your team that goes above and beyond to support us.
Karlee EvergreenCorporate Lab Manager · Co-Diagnostics
We've been using Quartzy to manage lab purchasing/inventory, and it's been great for keeping track of lab samples and reducing stockouts. It is user friendly and the transition was super easy for the whole team! We are loving the increased organization, efficiency, and communication in our lab!
Emily BrynerRaw Materials Buyer · Good Molecules
I must commend you and your team. I just met our new territory manager, and I have been working with him this week to resolve a vendor faux pas, and I must say, you and your colleagues have been spectacular to work with.
Chanez SymisterDirector of Research · CatenaBio
It has truly been an amazing relationship… I lack another word for it because it's been so helpful and so productive and so easy to use and just so easy to have other scientists use… It's a wonderful tool and I very rarely have such high praise about anything, especially software.

For academic & university labs
One lab or the whole university, one platform for how research buys.
One platform to track every reagent, route every requisition, and keep every grant clean, used by researchers at Stanford, MIT, UCSF, UVA, OHSU, and 600 more institutions.
600+academic institutions
One lab, one department, one campus. Same platform.
If you're a PI or lab manager running a single lab, start there. If you run a department, center, or institute, we can bring every lab in it onto one process. And if you're in central administration or procurement, we can go campus-wide: more productive research groups, less administrative overhead, and real savings on what they buy.
A new lab
Startup funds only stretch so far. Order what you need, track what you have, and keep the receipts your grant officer will ask for later.
See this level
An established lab
More people ordering against more grants. You need to see spend per grant, who bought what, and keep the record intact when a postdoc leaves.
See this level
Department, center or institute
Dozens of labs each buying their own way. One shared process, shared pricing and shared visibility across all of them.
See this level
University-wide
A punchout supplier inside your procurement system, with the security, identity and accessibility standards central IT requires.

Less administrative overhead, more visibility across every lab.
Roll every lab onto one platform. Each lab keeps its own budgets and inventory; the department gets a consistent process and a single view across all of it.

As an approved punchout supplier, scientists just click and get back to the bench.
What you care about most
At this level the questions come from central procurement, IT and security: does it punch out to our system, does it work with our identity provider, is it accessible, is there a SOC 2 report? The answer to all is yes, and it's all packaged in a way that scientists love to use.

The foundation at every level
Three roles make research work. Quartzy makes all three faster.
Every discovery starts with these three roles: researchers request it, the lab manager routes it, and grants and finance reconcile it. They are the foundation, and the gain doesn't stop with them. Make these three faster and every level above them gets faster too: the lab, then the department, then the whole institution.

We love Quartzy and started using it in my lab in UVA and brought it here [WashU] with us. Personal thank you from me for developing Quartzy. It makes our lives much much easier…

Quartzy is a game changer for keeping up with a busy lab, and I've been very impressed with how much it's developed over the years that it's been part of my workflow. Your people make a difference, too. Daniel in Support just bailed me out of a snafu yesterday. He came up with a solution I hadn't thought of.
