Ground-breaking LIMS software developer, Two Fold Software Limited has added a versatile Multi-Groups capability to its innovative Qualoupe LIMS solution.  The software enhancement offers complete data management flexibility for organizations and companies that not only have multiple sites but also include multiple laboratories within each site.

The new advanced multi-group software module has been developed by Two Fold's software programmers to enable all data within Qualoupe's LIMS to be grouped together to tailor information workflow management to an organization's specific needs across the world.  

The multi-group functionality, which is now featured in Qualoupe's new Version 1.1 software release, ensures complete flexibility when setting up and implementing a LIMS Multi-Groups capability.

"Although most laboratories can typically use their LIMS software to group samples, batches, methods, materials, suppliers, customers, and projects within a building,  a multi-group capability can make global reporting a great deal easier for multinational based organizations and businesses," explained Clive Collier, Two Fold Software's Managing Director.  "Large amounts of money can be saved using a centralised LIMS system featuring multi-group functionality which links together all sites and laboratories.  The combination of multi-group LIMS software tightly integrated with Qualoupe's intuitive interface can offer massive benefits to global organizations and companies".  

"In modern multi-site, multi-lab scenarios it is often a requirement to segregate LIMS data by each laboratory and site. The result is that each user only sees the data relating to his or her site and/or laboratory but by employing the new multi-group software the user can also work in another site or laboratory and be given permission to view data across more sites or laboratories.  Especially attractive is the fact that quality managers or senior project personnel can quickly use the multi-group capability to access and view data across all of sites and laboratories," continued Collier.

"Many LIMS suppliers tend to restrict the functionality of their multi-group software to specific data types relating to samples, batches, methods, materials (specifications) and projects.  We have made sure that Qualoupe's V1.1 multi-group software can be applied to all data types.  This means that suppliers, customers, carriers and such like can be grouped together to show only those that are relevant to each group." 

One of the drawbacks of conventional multi-group LIMS software is that it is often very complex for users to implement quickly.  To meet this challenge Two Fold Software has optimised the performance of Qualoupe's multi-group capability by carefully tailoring the intuitive aspects of Qualoupe's breakthrough user interface to greatly simplify the user experience and make the multi-group data readily understandable for all users.  

A key feature of Qualoupe's configurable user interface is its capability to create roles and to assign the tools needed to perform a specific role.  A user assigned a role by Qualoupe will only see their available tools.
