Model the domain deeply enough to operate it.
Culture Manager grew from direct involvement in a tissue-culture laboratory. The system reflects the materials, observations, locations, lifecycle events, customer commitments, and fulfillment work that generic inventory software does not understand.
The problem
Laboratory production is not a flat list of stock. Material changes state, moves between controlled locations, branches into new production, accumulates observations, encounters contamination and abandonment, and must remain tied to customers, orders, billing, and shipment.
The approach
Work inside the operation. Define the actual lifecycle.
Make each important event traceable and build the administrative, customer, production, inventory, and commercial workflows around the same operating model.
The system
From material intake through fulfillment.
Culture Manager supports customer and user administration; seed, plant material, media, culture, and flask records; laboratory observations and production tracking; location management; barcode and label workflows; orders, billing, manifests, and packing slips.
Business value
A shared, traceable view of specialized production.
Customers and operators can follow the work from intake through fulfillment.
The system also demonstrates how Radix approaches unfamiliar domains: learn the work, model it precisely, and build software that respects its real constraints.
Vertical software
When generic software cannot model the work, build around the domain.
