Wildfell Software; Wildfell Software is a North Carolina–based life sciences software company that brings together lab scientists, software engineers, and data scientists to build practical, modern tools shaped by real laboratory needs. The company's focus is on translating complex research workflows and functionality into simple, intuitive software that scientists can use every day without unnecessary complexity. A core principle in their product design is flexibility, giving teams the freedom to adjust and configure their workspaces over time without needing coding skills or vendor support.

IGOR is a modern, cloud-based lab data management system that helps research teams stay organized, reduce administrative work, and maintain research continuity over time. It brings together an easy-to-use Electronic Lab Notebook with inventory and sample tracking, secure file storage, SOP management, experiment templates, collaboration tools, and project management in one platform. This makes it easier for teams to document, organize, and share their work. The full context of every experiment - from materials and conditions to results and conclusions - is always easy to find. With its integrated LIMS capabilities, IGOR gives scientists full control over their lab inventory. Teams can customize repositories and storage structures to match their physical environment and daily workflows, and adjust them as needs change - without vendor support or coding skills. With a single click, teams can see where materials are stored, where they’ve been, who used them, what they were used for, and how they relate to other samples or experiments. IGOR’s interactive sample family tree makes these relationships easy to explore, enabling teams to track sample lineage across projects, departments, and generations while keeping complete records - metadata, history, locations, and linked experiments - immediately accessible. IGOR’s project management tools help teams coordinate tasks across researchers and departments, track milestones, dependencies, and priorities, or share updates in real time. Gantt-style project views provide clear timeline overviews, while direct links between tasks and experiment results in the ELN ensure traceability and context at every project stage. Above all, IGOR helps research teams preserve what matters most: their knowledge. Work completed months or years ago stays organized, searchable, and connected, even as team members leave and projects change. SOPs, experiment templates, metadata capture, and approval workflows support consistent, standardized practices across both academic labs and biotech organizations. Behind the scenes, IGOR provides the structure growing labs need to keep research organized and trustworthy, with built-in metadata tracking, detailed audit trails, version history for entries and files, granular role- and permission-based access controls, and 21 CFR Part 11-compliant digital signature workflows - all without disrupting everyday work. IGOR was built by fellow scientists who understand day-to-day lab work. The result is a lab data management software that’s simple to use day to day, yet robust enough to meet the expectations of fast-paced and regulated research environments.
