Purpose-built, flexible LIMS solutions save time and money for pharma, food & beverage, oil & gas, and diagnostics

LabVantage Solutions, the leading provider of laboratory informatics solutions and services, provides packaged LIMS solutions that are built better to allow labs to go live faster and at a lower cost than using a traditional implementation approach. LabVantage packaged solutions bundle industry specific software along with unique features tailored to meet the specific needs of customers working in the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, oil & gas, and diagnostics industries. LabVantage customers save as much as 85% of the implementation costs compared to a standard approach. LabVantage presented its LIMS packaged solutions at Pittcon 2018, February 26-March 1, in Orlando, FL.

All LabVantage LIMS systems share certain core configurations needed by most labs. A LIMS packaged solution goes beyond that by acting as an “accelerator” with additional industry-specific functionalities that can enhance the ease of use, adaptability, and flexibility of the system for use in a specific industry sector. At a minimum, these accelerators include user requirementdocumentation, a pre-configured LIMS that meets a target lab's business needs, and a set of packaged services and training to deploy the LIMS quickly and at a lower cost. Some of the packaged solutions also include additional deliverables, including industry-specific master data and fully executed validation documentation.

Each packaged solution is pre-configured to meet its targeted industry needs. The following are a few key features of each industry-targeted package:

LabVantage Pharma

• Intended for highly regulated labs that require validation based on GAMP 5
• Provides complete pre-executed validation to match the delivered LIMS
