Why us
First to RAiD
turnKeyRM is the first Current Research Information System (CRIS) to adopt RAiD as a standard. Every project gets a persistent identifier that links its people, funding, data and outputs from start to finish.
What we do
Three ways we bring
focus to complex research
operations.
turnKeyRM
A research management platform built natively on Salesforce, projects, stakeholders, funding, governance and reporting on one enterprise-grade foundation.
Persistent Identifiers
Sharper records. turnKeyRM carries the five national priority PIDs, ORCID, ROR, RAiD, DOI and IGSN, so people, organisations, projects and outputs resolve to something you can check.
AI
Your research data, working for you. Connect Claude to turnKeyRM and ask questions, catch exceptions, keep records clean, log activity automatically and build the screens you need, without a development project.
Vision
“The name reflects our philosophy.”
The fovea is the part of the eye that brings things into focus: clarity, acuity, attention. We help organisations see complexity clearly, identify what matters, and design systems that are precise, robust, and trustworthy.
News
Insights that match our
knowledge.
Unlocking RAiD: turnKeyRM is the first CRIS to make it native
As PIDs move towards a condition of funding, RAiD is the identifier that ties them together, and it now lives in your project record.
