Dear Hanna,

We use PPMS from Stratocore to manage our core. You can install a real time tracker that prompts users to use their credentials and records their usage.

The software gives you a lot of tools to manage your instruments and get statistics, obtain invoices...

You have to buy it, but it is worth it!

Best,

Paula
