OUR MANIFESTO

At Caprix, we believe in the profound power of scientific inquiry. We recognize that scientific researchers are among the brightest and most skilled individuals on Earth. They are relentless problem-solvers at heart, dedicated to unraveling the world’s most complex challenges. Their ingenuity drives progress, and their time is, unequivocally, their most valuable asset. They should be empowered to spend every precious moment immersed in discovery, designing experiments, analyzing data, and collaborating on groundbreaking solutions.

Yet, we’ve observed a stark reality: the very engine of scientific progress is often bogged down by outdated, inefficient financial operations. The brilliant minds in labs across the nation are forced to wrestle with cumbersome spreadsheets, fragmented tools, and the complexities of overlapping grants, fluctuating funding cycles, and intricate personnel budgeting. This administrative burden isn’t just a nuisance; it’s a critical operational bottleneck that slows down research, introduces financial risk, and ultimately diverts invaluable scientific time away from where it matters most: the pursuit of knowledge.

This is where Caprix enters the equation. As a solution-based company deeply rooted in the ethos of software development, we too are natural problem-solvers. We are driven by the conviction that technology can, and must, elevate the daily workflows of research labs. Our purpose is to innovate and deliver a centralized, intelligent, and dynamic platform that transforms chaotic grant management into a streamlined, transparent, and future-ready process.

Caprix provides the crucial financial operations layer that laboratories truly need. We replace the manual grind with automated budget projections, real-time visibility into financial and operational capacity, and intuitive scenario forecasting that works like a “TurboTax” for your lab’s finances. From integrated cost tracking for personnel, fringe, and materials, to strategic planning tools that ensure compliance and optimize every dollar, we empower labs to make informed decisions swiftly and confidently.

We stand proudly at the crossroads of innovation between science and technology. Our platform is purpose-built, designed from the ground up with direct insights from scientific advisors and lab managers. We are transforming how research gets funded and managed, allowing scientific teams to finally focus on science—not spreadsheets.

Caprix: Empowering Discovery. Optimizing Operations. Driving Efficiency.

FAQ

QUESTIONS FOR CAPRIX

Caprix is the modern financial planning platform purpose-built for grant-funded organizations like research labs. It replaces manual spreadsheets with intelligent tools for forecasting, budgeting, and grant tracking — all tailored to the needs of scientists and finance administrators. Labs use Caprix to plan with confidence and spend more time focused on discovery, not reconciling budgets.

Caprix addresses the unique challenges labs face, including:

  • Unpredictable grant timelines and renewals
  • Budgeting tied to fluctuating personnel needs
  • Manual, error-prone financial planning in spreadsheets
  • A lack of long-term financial visibility beyond the current fiscal year

These issues often lead to budget shortfalls, missed hiring windows, and time lost on admin work instead of research.

Unlike static spreadsheets, Caprix provides:

  • Automated forecasting to anticipate future funding and costs
  • Real-time budget clarity to understand how today’s spend affects tomorrow’s runway
  • Scenario planning to instantly test the impact of new grants, hires, or cost changes
  • Centralized grant tracking across all awards, people, and timelines
  • Capacity planning to align staff availability with funding and project needs

Caprix gives PIs instant visibility into funding and staffing capacity — no more chasing down spreadsheets or quarterly reports. With Caprix, they can:

  • See how much budget is left across all grants
  • Plan hires or project shifts with confidence
  • Simplify reporting and gain trust from both admins and finance

Caprix creates consistency across labs by standardizing budgeting, enhancing compliance, and simplifying long-term planning. Admins and finance leaders gain:

  • A shared system to manage grant-based budgeting
  • Built-in data integrity and visibility across departments
  • Confidence in forecasting and strategic planning decisions

Yes. Caprix was built for dynamic environments. With features like scenario planning and capacity tracking, labs can:

  • Model new hires, grant endings, or changes in fringe costs instantly
  • Align staff availability to funding windows
  • Avoid under- or over-hiring based on outdated assumption

Absolutely. Caprix is a secure, cloud-based platform that scales across labs and departments. It’s trusted by research teams managing millions in NIH, NSF, CPRIT, and private funding. Our infrastructure supports compliance and growth without compromising performance or data security.

Caprix was built by a team deeply familiar with the world of research funding. Our mission is to free researchers from administrative drag and empower them to focus on science. Unlike generic finance tools, Caprix is grounded in the realities of grant-funded work — it’s a lab’s financial command center, purpose-built to align scientific ingenuity with operational excellence.
