Laboratory managers are faced with many decisions today. It can be challenging and time consuming to gather data to make informed decisions.
The advantage of having a LIMS is that it stores data about each day’s lab activity. Analyzing this data, looking at trends and patterns over weeks, months or years, can provide insights into the lab operations.
It can help answer questions for root cause analysis, identify opportunities for improvement, identify bottlenecks causing performance issues, and help build a business case for new resources. Put the power of Advanced Analytics to work to quickly provide you with the data you need and the insights into that data to make effective decisions to run your lab.
The Business Of Data
You cannot improve what you cannot measure. You need to know the facts in order to make informed decisions and tangible improvements to your laboratory’s efficiency. But all the data in the world about your lab’s workflow is of no use if you cannot draw meaningful conclusions.

We take all of your lab workflow data and present it in a way that shows the relationships of that data so you can make an informed decision toward a desired goal. Advanced Analytics allows you to transform your data into actionable insights.
From powerful visualizations that more clearly illustrate key activities to predictive analysis capabilities that help you anticipate critical events, Advanced Analytics gives you the insights you need to manage your lab. And when you have better information you can provide a better lab environment for you and your colleagues.
