How Inventory Management Should Work
Marathon Pacer makes inventory management easy. It is a program that delivers on the objectives of lab operations, finance teams and scientists, creating an inventory management solution that our customers have always hoped for, but were never able to execute on their own. The program is based on three core pillars: flexible, transparent and predictable.
-Flexible: consumables that are brand agnostic to provide scientists the exact products they require.
-Transparent: a personalized technology platform with real time data to support informed business decisions.
-Predictable: PacerStock eliminates lead times and storage limitations by leveraging our local warehouses serving as an extension of your store rooms and providing full transparency to your inventory through the Pacer software.
Marathon Pacer is guaranteed to allow your lab to reclaim valuable lab space, eliminate disruptions to the critical supplies needed for discovery and to ensure products are never under or overstocked at any time. Marathon Pacer makes inventory management easy.
