Abstract
The Eastern Washington University biology department uses Quartzy’s lab management services to keep track of their current inventory. For the purposes of managing inventory, Quartzy provides all necessary services to their users, however, the biology department would like a system that can track additional information while modifying Quartzy’s database. As it currently stands, tracking who is taking items and why they are taking them is done using paper sign out sheets that will then need to be manually entered into the system by one of the members of the department. Our project is to replace the paper sign out sheet with a mobile app capable of recording the required information to our own database, automatically construct return numbers when items are marked for future return and modify item quantity in Quartzy’s database through their developer API. The goal of our app is to reduce the amount of work required to manage Quartzy’s inventory by collecting the same amount of information from the borrower while automating the data processing phase. Once the development of our app has concluded, we should be able to relieve the stress of entering data into Quartzy while also keeping an easy-to-read log of previous transactions.
