How it works
A procurement process designed for research constraints.
Define the need
Confirm requirements, constraints, and what “success” looks like for the purchase.
Source and compare
Coordinate quotes and build a comparison view so decisions are clear and defensible.
Coordinate ordering and delivery
Handle vendor communication and delivery logistics so timelines don’t slip.
Document and hand off
Leave behind a repeatable workflow and documentation your lab can reuse.
A system your lab keeps after delivery
Every engagement runs inside PositionScale Alpha so deliverables, owners, and next steps stay organized. When we’re done, you keep the templates and workflow.
