The ChemManager+ module ties a robust chemical tracking system with an enhanced purchasing tool to aid in safety and risk mitigation. This tool for managing chemicals–used by research, instructional, safety and risk staff–integrates with ShopUW+.
In March 2022, the ChemManager+ Project Team began design and configuration. In June and July, the team engaged end-users in testing. The module was deployed August 2022 at UW-Milwaukee (4 pilot departments), UW-Stevens Point, UW-Oshkosh, and select pilot labs at UW-Madison.
In November 2022 the next go-live wave of comprehensives launched ChemManager+. This wave included UW-Green Bay, UW-River Falls, and UW-Stout.
The final wave of comprehensives went live in January 2023. This included UW-Eau Claire, UW-La Crosse, UW-Platteville, UW-Parkside, UW-Superior, and UW-Whitewater.
UW-Madison continues a slow deployment strategy, deploying by department and by individual lab requests. Contact the UW-Madison ChemManager+ team with any questions: Chemmanager@wisc.edu.
