Digital Laboratory Transformation Services
SoftFormance is dedicated to helping laboratories, CROs, and R&Ds embrace the power of digital transformation and maximize their potential. From implementing an Electronic Lab Notebook (ELN) to building Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), we have digital solutions that will take your laboratory workflows to the next level.
Enhancing Labs with Digitalization
These are the benefits that your laboratory can get if you embrace lab digital transformation.
Improved Inventory Management
Digital solutions, such as chemical ERP systems help laboratories manage their supplies and consumables, as well as monitor bulk and warehouse storage conditions more efficiently. Once there’s a shortage of specific reaction ingredients, equipment breakdown, or issues with storage conditions, SmartAlert notifies the responsible employees capable of solving this problem.
Recording for All Lab Processes
A digital laboratory journal, such as the one created by PerkinElmer, is a perfect solution for storing data on formulas, reaction methods, lab trial conditions, quality assurance results, Certificates of Analysis, and any lab notes. A highly available, flexible, and shared Electronic Lab Notebook will help the lab team coordinate their effort while working on custom synthesis.
Quality Assurance Automation
Quality Assurance is vital for approving formulas and laboratory reaction methods. LIMS solutions help laboratories automate raw material testing, synthesis testing, chemical reaction product testing, and pre-release/sales testing. All data is recorded and the laboratory can generate and print a Certificate of Analysis in the shortest terms.
Enhanced Security and Compliance
LIMS solutions help lab managers control all processes by providing them with access to all data on lab processes. This helps managers ensure that all labs are working without employee safety violations and that their custom syntheses are developed in compliance with industry regulations, such as MSDS, ISO9001, and cGMP.
Automated Documentation Management
LIMS and other laboratory digitization solutions impact custom synthesis and specialty chemical companies by automating their documentation-related practices. Whether it goes about managing inventory documentation, generating barcodes, or obtaining certificates of analysis, LIMS solutions will save a lot of time and effort.
Simple Reporting and Analytics
LIMS solutions often include analytical functionality that allows lab employees to analyze the efficiency of their work. For example, they can get relevant statistics on the success rate of their lab trials. This functionality also helps them generate reports that can be used for obtaining Certificates of Analysis or auditing their chemistry processes.
Fast Information Searches
Our laboratory digitization solutions include the integration of a compound search engine that will help you identify crucial information or reaction ingredients in the shortest terms. You can easily find chemical compounds by their sub-structure by researching your own database or getting access to open databases that host all the required information.
Digital Transformation Solutions We Provide
These are some variants of digital transformation solutions that we can build for your custom synthesis laboratory.
Research, Discovery and Advisory
Our specialists research your processes and communicate with your team in order to understand your needs. On the basis of this research we provide advice on whether you should implement the existing laboratory management solution or build lab software from scratch.
Redesign of the existing LIMS and ELN
If you are already using LIMS and ELN solutions but want them to bring you more value, SoftFormance is ready to help. We will thoroughly research your needs and provide upgrades or complete software redesign that will fit your business goals.
Data Migration and Synchronization
We help you achieve interoperability between lab software solutions so that all your data on compounds, reaction methods, and formulas will be stored in a unified format. We also help you manage data more efficiently by migrating it to Chemaxon or RDkit.
ERP System Development
We build flexible enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems that help you manage your active ingredients, lot-related production components, co-products, by-products, recyclable products, and mission-critical equipment more efficiently.
LIMS Development
We will help you build an efficient laboratory information management system (LIMS) so that you will store all your information in one place, get efficient analytics and visualizations, ensure automated auditing, and achieve regulatory compliance.
Electronic Lab Notebook Development
Internet of Lab Things Software Development
SoftFormance is ready to help you build a solution that runs on multiple devices and connects them into a single Internet of Lab Things (IoLT) system that records, stores, and exchanges mission-critical data on your lab trials.
