Resource Scheduler & Rates

PPMS by Stratocore is a scheduler tool that offers a robust platform design specifically for core facility management. PPMS streamlines equipment scheduling, training, usage tracking, billing processes and report generation, which has improved both the administrator and user experience. COSINC has worked with OIT to gather data and customize the system for the COSINC facility. The features and capability of the PPMS system for our facility will continue to evolve based on user feedback and administrative requirements and adjustments made to better serve our user community. You can also visit Stratocore's website for more information, including testimonials from other institutions and universities who are utilizing this software.
