The current version of the platform was released on April 16, 2024 in its beta version, and is free to access for the duration of the beta.
Historical users of the platform saw it, the platform has been transformed both visually and functionally. A summary of the changes made.
A visual redesign
The platform
The platform has been visually transformed, with a new search interface, new interfaces for the directory, the map of service providers, etc.
💡 Good to know: Navigation through the different pages of the platform is now done in the side menu, on the left of your screen.
The website
The platform is not the only one to have a makeover! The Skinobs website has also undergone major changes that we let you discover with pleasure: access the website.
The Cosmetics Testing News
The news feed, now "Cosmetics Testing News", is getting a new color and offers you a more intuitive interface to find and filter articles more easily.
The platform's new features
Beyond the graphical overhaul, the platform offers many new features, currently in beta.
Don't hesitate to give us your feedback if you find any bugs, or if you have new ideas: we improve the platform thanks to your feedback!
Single platform, single account
Preclinical platform and Clinical Platform merge to make a single testing platform: no need to have two separate accounts for each platform, navigate directly from the Clinical Testing section to the Preclinical Testing section of the platform, in one click!
💡 Good to know: You had two separate accounts for each platform with the same username but two different passwords? Both of your passwords will remain available until you change them.
You had an account on one platform? You can log in and have access to both platforms directly.
If you have any connection problems, please contact us at [email protected].
Messaging
No need to create an Excel spreadsheet next to the platform anymore to find out which service provider has responded to you or not: messaging is here!
It allows you to contact several service providers at once, and to find all your conversations in the same space. Share files, images, or simply text messages to providers and access all your conversations from the same space.
You will receive an email on your address when a service provider responds to you. There's no need to follow up with service providers: we take care of everything to maximize the response rate.
Projects
The new "projects" feature makes it easier for you to keep track of your ongoing projects, filtering your conversations with contacted contractors, and your saved services.
Create a personalized organization with these "folders", and focus on your current projects.
Saving services and taking notes
You can now save your services of interest, and take notes according to the project for which you are interested in!
Then find them from the "Saved services" page, and filter them according to the project(s) for which you saved them!
Comparison mode (coming soon)
You will soon be able to compare your registered services through a dedicated interface optimized for quick and informed decision-making.
We'll let you know when this feature is available! ⏳
