Laboratory Digitalization
We help laboratories improve their workflows, systems and day-to-day operations. STARLIMS is one of our core areas of expertise.
Laboratory Workflows
We look at how work is actually done in the laboratory and help turn those processes into practical digital workflows.
STARLIMS Implementation
From initial configuration to complex implementations, we help build a STARLIMS system around the way your laboratory works.
Software Development
We develop custom applications, interfaces and extensions when standard LIMS functionality is not enough.
Migration and Modernization
We help laboratories move from older systems to modern platforms while protecting their data and keeping critical operations running.
Integration
We connect LIMS with instruments, ERP systems and other applications so that information moves where it needs to go.
Validation and Quality Assurance
We support validation, testing and quality assurance for laboratory systems used in regulated environments.
Our Approach
Good laboratory software starts with understanding the work behind it. We keep the process practical and involve the people who will actually use the system.
Understand
We learn how your laboratory works, where the problems are and what the system needs to accomplish.
Plan
We define the technical approach, priorities and steps needed to get the project moving.
Build and Review
We build the solution in manageable pieces and review the results with your team as the work progresses.
Deliver
We complete the implementation, testing and documentation needed to put the system into use.
Selected Work
Laboratory software projects often involve complex systems, demanding timelines and critical operations. Here are some examples of the work we have delivered.
The Challenge: The laboratory was working with an older STARLIMS environment and needed to move to a modern system without interrupting critical laboratory operations.
Our Approach: We joined the project as part of the implementation team. The work included system migration, development and integration with the organization's ERP through web services. The project team included four developers, a QA specialist and a senior migration engineer.
The Result: The migration was planned as a 12-month project and was completed in 9 months. The laboratory moved to the new system while maintaining its essential operations.
The Challenge: A public health organization needed to combine numerous separate STARLIMS environments used by different laboratories into a more unified enterprise solution.
Our Approach: We helped define the technical strategy and migration approach. The work included the development of a central accessioning application to standardize sample tracking and an automated, rule-based reporting system.
The Result: The new applications helped create a more consistent laboratory infrastructure, reducing manual work and bringing laboratories onto a common platform.
The Challenge: Public health laboratory operations often involve large volumes of samples, data and reporting requirements. The existing processes required too much manual work and made it difficult to keep information consistent.
Our Approach: We worked on laboratory software supporting sample management, data processing and reporting. The solution was designed around the laboratory's operational requirements rather than forcing those processes into a generic workflow.
The Result: The resulting software provided a more structured way to manage laboratory information and supported the daily operational and reporting needs of the organization.
Software We Build
Our work is not limited to consulting. We also build practical software around real operational problems.
HACCP Monitor
A comprehensive food safety management platform for creating, monitoring, and auditing HACCP plans.
