Why Contract Laboratories choose our LIMS

How our LIMS, WebLab, supports Contract Laboratories

10 Practical Reasons That Make the Difference

Contract laboratories juggle complex workflows, tight deadlines, and demanding client expectations. Here are 10 reasons why our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), WebLab, is the right fit for contract laboratories, each one grounded in real operational value.

 

1. Stay on Top of Pricing and Invoicing Without the Headache

Create, version, and manage multiple price lists based on client, contract, or lab-specific criteria. Generate offers in PDF or Excel, sign them electronically, and send them directly from the system. Invoicing and quoting can be managed within WebLab, or seamlessly integrated with ERP systems, so your financials stay aligned with your lab work.

 

2. Coordinate Sampling with Precision

From assigning collection dates to tracking sample locations down to the shelf, WebLab supports detailed logistics. It integrates with mapping tools (such as the Google Maps API), allowing you to visualize and manage sample movement across multiple sites.

 

3. Give Clients a Window Into Their Projects

The built-in customer portal lets clients track the progress of their tests, download reports, and place new orders, all in one place. It’s a transparent, self-service experience that builds trust and reduces back-and-forth.

 

4. Never Miss a Deadline Again

Real-time alerts notify your team of delays, incomplete orders, or status changes. Test progress is visible at every stage, so you can act before issues become problems.

 

5. Handle High Volumes with Ease

Register, edit, or cancel entire batches of samples in just a few clicks. Copy previous orders to save time and reduce errors. Whether you’re onboarding a new client or repeating a routine test, batch operations keep things efficient.

 

6. Eliminate Manual Errors with Barcode Tracking

Generate and scan barcodes for samples and reagents to ensure traceability and reduce the risk of mix-ups.

 

7. Keep Costs Under Control

Track reagent usage, link it to specific tests, and monitor costs in real time. The system breaks down expenses by labor, materials, and depreciation, giving you a clear picture of where your budget is going.

 

8. Customize Workflows to Match Your Lab

Define your own sample lifecycle stages, approval steps, and user permissions. Whether you need multi-step result authorization or flexible document workflows, WebLab adapts to how your lab operates—not the other way around.

 

9. Turn Data Into Insight

Generate reports tailored to your needs, from client summaries to internal performance metrics. Use built-in statistical tools to spot trends, flag anomalies, and support quality control with confidence.

 

10. Work Anywhere, Integrate Everywhere

Access WebLab from both mobile and desktop devices. Connect with lab instruments, ERP systems, and external tools using RESTful APIs. Monitor your data whether you're in the lab or working remotely.
