FOR ONE LABORATORY OR MULTIPLE UNITS
Role-based access. Data in its laboratory context. A traceable history of changes.
03 — GETTING STARTED
Your laboratory.
Your pace of implementation.
From the first conversation to daily use. Together we define the scope, prepare the data and introduce your team to the system.
-
01
We understand your work
We learn about your laboratories, methods, users and existing records.
Outcome: an agreed scope -
02
We set up the system
We configure modules, laboratories, roles and access rights.
Outcome: your working environment -
03
We connect your data
We review spreadsheets and documents, prepare data entry and check key records.
Outcome: a structured initial dataset -
04
We train your team
We walk through real tasks and support your team as they get started.
Outcome: a team ready to work
Start in phases. Start with priority records and expand as your laboratory needs evolve.
Let's make a plan04 — BEFORE WE TALK
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Key information about implementation and everyday use. Let's talk about the specifics of your laboratory.
Write to usQ.Lab supports laboratory work. Professional responsibility and decisions remain with authorised personnel.
Can we start with our existing Excel spreadsheets?
Yes. During preparation, we review your spreadsheets and documents and agree on priorities and data entry. Data structure and quality are checked before transfer.
Do we have to introduce every module at once?
No. The system can be introduced in phases. Together we choose the areas that will help most in your current way of working.
How long does implementation take, and how is it priced?
Timing and pricing depend on the number of laboratories, users and modules, data preparation and support. After a demo and a brief review, you receive a proposed scope and implementation plan.
Who can access the data?
Access is determined by user role and assigned laboratories. The system supports controlled access to documents and a history of changes to business data.
Does the system need to be installed on every computer?
No. Users work in a web browser. The system can run online or on your organisation’s server (on-premise). Infrastructure, access, maintenance and backups are defined during implementation.
What will we see in the demo?
We will explore connected records, the method overview and modules relevant to your team. The demo uses controlled data. Availability of individual features depends on the agreed configuration.
How are samples tracked?
Each sample receives a unique ID and records of its reception, condition and storage location. It is linked to a work order and tests, with a status overview also accessible via a QR label.
How is result conformity assessed?
Conformity assessment links a test result to a selected criterion. Results and their assessments can be reviewed alongside the sample and work order, making it clear which test they relate to.
