Problem
Core research facilities rely on manual quoting, email chains, and spreadsheet-based workflows to manage and sell their services. This friction makes facilities invisible to potential external clients, limits revenue recovery, and slows down the commercialization of research infrastructure.
Solution
GRAVL is a modern core facility platform that provides a digital storefront for research services, enabling facilities to attract new clients and recover operational costs. The platform replaces disjointed manual processes with a streamlined system that makes facilities visible to external clients and simplifies service discovery. Facilities can quickly launch and update service offerings without requiring IT support or custom code. Payment processing is integrated directly into the platform, supporting PO approvals and credit card billing to reduce administrative friction. By centralizing the service catalog and transaction flow, GRAVL helps core facilities operate as digital revenue engines rather than administrative bottlenecks.
Target Audience
Primary customers are core research facilities at universities, hospitals, and research institutes that need to commercialize their services, attract external clients, and streamline administrative operations. The platform also serves deans, administrators, and core directors who manage facility budgets and operations.
