A typical engagement, step by step.
Senior people lead every phase. Specialised AI agents on the Agentic SDLC handle the repetitive work, and nothing ships without your approval.
Discovery
We map today's process, systems and data for registration and sample tracking; analyser integration; and reports and delivery, talk to the people who run it and agree the baseline for report turnaround and sample rejection rate so progress is measured from week one.
Design
We design the flows, roles, approvals and integrations for registration and sample tracking; and analyser integration, and review a clickable prototype with the people who will use it before anything is built.
Build in weekly demos
We build in weekly demos, starting with registration and sample tracking, then analyser integration and reports and delivery. Each release is tested on your own data and passes a human approval gate before the next begins.
Launch and support
We migrate data, train your team and support go-live. After 30 days we review report turnaround, sample rejection rate and manual result entry against the baseline and agree what to extend next.
Start small. Scale when it works.
Every engagement begins with a short, fixed-price step so you can judge the fit before committing further. See pricing.

Diagnostic Lab LIMS questions.
Which analysers can you connect?
It depends on the machine and its interface. We list your analysers in discovery and confirm what is supported. We confirm versions, plans and API limits during discovery, so there are no surprises on integration day.
Can reports go to patients on WhatsApp?
Yes, using the official WhatsApp Business API, with consent and secure access agreed with you. Messages use approved templates and recorded opt-ins, and provider fees are shown upfront.
Do you support multiple collection centres?
Yes. Centres have their own accounts, rates and reports, with consolidated owner views. Response times and scope are written into the support agreement, so you know who to call and how fast they will answer.
Is patient data protected?
With role-based access, audit trails and encryption. Your counsel should confirm legal obligations. Access is role-based, actions are logged and data handling terms are agreed in writing before work starts.
Can we start with one lab?
Yes. Many labs start with one site and add collection centres later.
How much does diagnostic lab LIMS cost?
Every engagement starts with a fixed-price Discovery Sprint that produces scope, a plan and a quote. Custom work is quoted at a fixed price once the scope is clear. Changes are agreed in writing before they are built, so the price you approve is the price you pay.
How do you measure success for diagnostic lab LIMS?
In week one we agree a baseline for report turnaround, sample rejection rate and manual result entry. We report them at every weekly demo and review them against the baseline 30 days after go-live, so results are measured rather than assumed.
What should we prepare before the first call?
Bring a short description of how diagnostic lab LIMS works today, examples of the documents or screens your team uses, and the three numbers that matter most to you. A senior specialist will use them to outline a first step and a fixed price.
