Slope Inventory Management is a free software solution that is purpose-built by and for site staff to manage lab kits, bulk supplies, IP, shippers and more — which streamlines site operations and reduces risk across every trial in their organization.
The platform makes it easy for sites to ensure that they always have the right lab kits — and other clinical inventory — on hand.
As a result, Slope minimizes the risks of protocol deviations and lost or mishandled samples caused by a dependency on paper and spreadsheets for managing inventory.
Yes! Slope Inventory Management is free for research sites for inventory management across all of their trials at their organization. Slope strongly believes that equipping sites with the tools they need to get their jobs done will benefit the entire industry, and especially patients. For sites interested in using Biospecimen360™’s sample management capabilities, please reach out to your study sponsor.
If your organization is conducting Investigator-Initiated Trials (IITs), Slope does offer advanced functionality, such as system integrations, site-to-site connections, and services at a cost. Contact Slope today to discuss how we can further support your needs.
If you are working with a sponsor that is using Biospecimen360™, the platform is already configured and ready for use for that study.
If you work at a site that is deploying Slope Inventory Management independently across all of your studies to manage your clinical inventory, set-up is quick and easy. Once you receive access to your Slope account, you can start registering your lab kits and other forms of clinical inventory (i.e. bulk supplies, IP, etc.) in a matter of minutes.
Slope provides a tutorial that guides the set-up. However, if you have any questions, you are always welcome to reach out to our support team for help.
While Slope’s Inventory Management platform is intuitive and easy to use, we encourage new users to read through our onboarding materials before using the software. Current users will be informed of new features that may impact their work via in-app communications and email notifications. If you ever get stuck, our live support team offers in-app support and is ready to help Monday-Friday between 9am and 5pm Eastern time.
Yes! Slope's Inventory Management solution that can be used to support any clinical trial at your research site, regardless of therapeutic area, trial sponsor, and kitting vendor.
Slope Inventory Management is most commonly used to track lab kits, but it can also be used to track the on-hand quantities and physical locations of bulk supplies, sample additives/solutions, IP/drug, shippers/boxes, and study documents at your research site.
Site users can download Excel reports of inventory data at any time. This data can be pulled by inventory type, study, sponsor, or across your entire organization.
