You run a lab, not a software company. Meet software WITH a service.

If you’ve been in the lab business for over a minute, you have tried off-the-shelf LIMS products and spreadsheets or built your automation. If you’re reading this article, chances are you haven’t found lab automation nirvana.
The financial model of the off-the-shelf software is simple: build a product with a broad market appeal by offering a robust set of features with configuration options that provide the standard features. After that, collect feedback to create a roadmap, introducing new feature releases that deliver what most labs feel is essential to their success. Often, the outcome of this model for the vendor is a mountain of technical debt. At the same time, labs grow increasingly inconvenienced by the lack of precision automation they know they need.?
This exercise in frustration is typical of off-the-shelf software in many industries, particularly in rapidly changing sectors that require fine-grained automation to do the job correctly.
The antidote is low-code software with a service, offering the core functionality of out-of-the-box LIMS with extensibility to create workflows, features, integrations, and test reports that drive ongoing efficiencies for the lab.
