Xavo Logistics Platform

Sample management that grows with your operations.

Start with structured inventory. Add fulfillment, dynamic computation and automation when you need them.

Xavo combines sample management and request fulfillment in one platform. Use it for straightforward inventory and storage, or for requests where sources, volumes and routes have to be worked out each time.

Available in three editions on one platform: Core, Professional and Enterprise.

What Xavo handles.

Manage

Know your samples

Keep inventory, locations and sample history accurate and up to date.

Inventory · Storage · Locations · State · History · Traceability
Available from Core
Request

Capture the full request

Requests are stored as structured data that Xavo can calculate with, not as free-text tickets.

Compounds · Quantities · Concentrations · Formats · Delivery requirements
Professional & Enterprise
Resolve

Work out how to fulfill it

Xavo checks current stock against your operating rules and decides how the request will be fulfilled.

Sources · Volumes · Transfers · Dilutions · Intermediate plates · Routes
Professional & Enterprise
Generate

Produce what operators and robots need

Xavo generates the files and instructions for each operator and each device.

Plate layouts · Labels · Transfer instructions · Worklists · Device-specific output
Professional & Enterprise
Orchestrate

Assign work to equipment

Xavo matches each step to the equipment and automation available in your lab.

Equipment · Storage · Liquid handling · Resource allocation · Workflow progression
Enterprise
Adapt

Recalculate when things change

When material runs short, a device goes down or priorities shift, Xavo recalculates the affected steps within your rules.

Xavo Editions

Choose the edition that fits your lab.

Start with Core and add Professional or Enterprise capabilities when you need them.

Core

Inventory, storage and traceability

A reliable record of every sample: where it is stored and what has happened to it.

Key capabilities
  • Sample inventory
  • Storage and locations
  • Sample state
  • Sample history
  • Traceability and audit trail
  • Basic request handling
Optional add-ons
  • Multi-site inventory & shipment tracking
Best suited for

Labs whose main problem is finding and tracking material.

Typical environments
Research groups · Sample repositories · Biotechs with moderate throughput
Professional

Turn requests into prepared samples

Xavo selects the source containers and calculates transfers, dilutions and plate layouts for each request.

Everything in Core, plus
  • Order and request management
  • Source container selection
  • Transfer calculation
  • Dilution planning
  • Plate preparation
  • Intermediate containers
  • Business rules
  • Fulfillment traceability
Optional add-ons
  • Path Finder
  • Multi-site inventory & shipment tracking
Best suited for

Labs where fulfilling a request means more than pulling material from storage.

Typical environments
Compound management · Biotechs with higher throughput · Screening support · Assay preparation · CRO/CDMO sample operations
Enterprise

Run variable, automation-heavy operations at scale

Xavo works out the execution path for each request across your equipment and automation, and adjusts it when conditions change.

Everything in Professional, plus
  • Path Finder (dynamic deliverable computation)
  • Advanced equipment models
  • Resource-aware routing
  • Automation integration
  • Dynamic recalculation
  • Advanced business rules
  • Enterprise-scale integrations
  • Scheduling and optimization (in development)
Optional add-ons
  • Multi-site inventory & shipment tracking
Best suited for

High-throughput labs where several automated systems work on the same requests.

Typical environments
High-throughput discovery · Automated sample stores · Complex liquid handling · Large-scale screening

Operating across several sites, CROs or storage partners? The multi-site add-on with shipment tracking is available from Core upwards.

Example requestPrepare an assay-ready plate containing 120 compounds at two target concentrations.
Core

Shows what you have

Core can show
  • Which compounds are available
  • Where they are stored
  • Current containers
  • Available material
  • Sample history and state
Outcome: You know exactly what is in stock and where.
Professional

Plans how to fulfill it

Professional can additionally determine
  • Which source containers to use
  • Required transfer volumes
  • Required dilutions
  • Intermediate plates
  • Target layout
  • Fulfillment status
Outcome: A complete, calculated preparation plan for the plate.
Enterprise

Runs it on today’s equipment

Enterprise can additionally resolve
  • Suitable equipment
  • Resource availability
  • Execution route
  • Automation-specific instructions
  • Recalculation when conditions change
  • Scheduling (in development)
Outcome: A plan that runs on your current equipment and adjusts when conditions change.

Advanced Technology

Three technologies behind Xavo.

Path Finder calculates the work, Xavo Scheduling plans it and Lab Spider connects Xavo to the systems you already run.

Dynamic Deliverable Computation
Path Finder

Calculate what needs to happen

Path Finder takes the requested deliverable, what is in stock, what your equipment can do and your operating rules, and works out the steps needed to produce it.

Path Finder can resolve
  • Suitable source containers
  • Required transformations
  • Transfers and dilutions
  • Intermediate plates
  • Valid execution routes
  • Required resources

Included in Enterprise as a core component. Also available standalone, including with sample data from your existing laboratory systems.

In development · Resource Optimization
Xavo Scheduling

Plan what runs where, and when

Xavo Scheduling uses predicted runtimes, equipment availability and your constraints to plan work across the lab.

Planned capabilities
  • Runtime prediction
  • Resource allocation
  • Capacity planning
  • Queue optimization
  • Multi-project scheduling
  • Schedule recalculation
  • Learning from execution history

Developed in a research project together with Goethe University Frankfurt, funded under the ZIM program.

Funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) under the ZIM program
Connectivity & Interoperability
Lab Spider

Connect Xavo to the laboratory around it

Lab Spider passes sample data, instructions and execution status between Xavo and the systems already in your lab.

Connect to
  • LIMS and ELN
  • Sample management platforms
  • Databases
  • Automated stores
  • Liquid handlers
  • Automation software
  • Laboratory instruments
