The processing of laboratory information has expanded and modern LIMS solutions offer various modules and customization options. The main objectives are to manage analytical results according to regulatory requirements, manage equipment and consumables as well as reporting and CAPA solutions. A modern LIMS improves operations by providing automatic alerts for consumable shortages, scheduled maintenance of lab equipment, and optimized lab utilization to reduce costs. OOS events are immediately displayed, and actions (such as re-testing and CAPA) are automatically initiated to minimize non-compliance risks.

The integration of LIMS with laboratory instruments and standard software such as SAP is common practice. Measurement results are automatically transferred to LIMS, errors are avoided, and processes are accelerated. Inspection orders can be imported from SAP and batch releases can be reported automatically. Newer solutions enable the display of batch release-relevant data such as CAPAs or OOS at the release site to ensure patient safety.

The multitude of individual interfaces between established software and devices and LIMS poses implementation challenges. We support you in master data management, configuration, programming, and validation.

• Analysis of your processes and laboratory workflows to identify potential for improvement in terms of lead time, material consumption, quality and to reduce regulatory risks
• Identification of new requirements and creation of User Requirement Specifications as a basis for validation of the system and support in supplier selection, i.e., creation of Request for Information/Request for Proposals
• Project management and validation during the implementation of LIMS especially in the cloud
• Creation and optimization of operational and authorization concepts
• Support in the design, configuration and implementation of interfaces to devices and systems, e.g., ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)
• Creation of appropriate training material for users and system administrators
• Conducting trainings both in train-the-trainer concept and for end users
• Creating and optimizing clear instructions in the operations manual to maintain a validated state of the computerized system and its interfaces
• Support in master data preparation, data transfer or input during system implementation and changes
• Preparation of standard operating procedures and equipment manuals
• Advising laboratories on Organizational Change Management (OCM) to maximize user acceptance and shorten roll-out times

• Sound advice on the digitization of laboratory processes from expert consultants with many years of laboratory experience
• Proven success in LIMS replacement or new implementation with high user acceptanc

INCONSULT-LIMS Strategy:

• Best practice process model for linking various process steps around laboratory analyses and evaluations. Enables the improvement of process flows and thus increases the productivity of the laboratory.
• Standardization and harmonization of laboratory processes to prevent errors
• Introduction of a LIMS platform with central data storage/ ("single source of truth") to improve the traceability of laboratory processes, activities and changes to the laboratory information concerned (data and documents)
