Objectives and Principles
The Objectives:
Efficient and Controlled Processes
Comprehensible Activities
Transparent Expenditures
The Principles:
The basic system is designed to cover all processes in a test laboratory
The functions can easily be compiled based on the modular structure
Additional functions or requirements can be realized quickly to fulfill your individual needs
and integrate the system in your processes
The open architecture offers a variety of possible interfaces to other systems or applications
(e.g. SAP, Outlook, Word, Excel, Access, etc.)
The usage of standard software avoids additional license costs
