    Pros:
    The CoA template was configured to accommodate our requirements, such as the inclusion of all critical client and sample information and a tabular view of all analytes and their observed values, with each cell of the table designed to capture values based on specific test types. For this, the CloudLIMS team worked closely with us to fully align the CoA template with our expectations. CloudLIMS automated calculations and used in-built logic and complex algorithms to achieve this. The CloudLIMS team configured the solution’s service and billing module to enable us to generate and send invoices to customers in our preferred layout and format. CloudLIMS incorporated a digital signature into the invoice template, allowing us to validate invoices before sending them to our customers. The service and billing module has streamlined invoicing and made it significantly easier for us to track payments. Implementing CloudLIMS and automating several key processes has enabled us to meet compliance with standards such as ISO 17025, cementing our leadership position in Nigeria’s mining industry. CloudLIMS’s features, such as document management, instrument management, and staff training management, have been instrumental in this, along with effective sample tracking and traceability through CoC and audit trails. The CloudLIMS team trained our staff on the software comprehensively so that we could carry out configurations on our own.
    Cons:
    If you do not have internet connection, you cannot log in to CLoudLIMS.

    Pros:
    The system has multiple components to manage samples, workflow and processes, inventory and equipment and to help us to maintain records for ISO 17025. There is a possibility to customize to our process flow, and how we do things in our laboratory.
    Cons:
    There are limitations that seems to be low, such as workflow steps (max 25) for example. The support response seems to come overnight that slows done the set up / customization timeline.

    Reasons for switching to CloudLIMS

    Cost and self-customization, we do not have to wait for a developer to do customization.

    We are a small start-up material testing laboratory and we were looking for a comprehensive yet easy-to-use LIMS platform that could manage all our data efficiently and streamline our workflow process. I came across many LIMS during my research, but CloudLIMS turned out to be the perfect fit. The features not only support our processes but also help in achieving ISO 17025 accreditation.

    Pros:
    At the Translational and Advanced Medicine Hospital, our clinical processes involve next-generation sequencing, optical genome mapping, proteomics, and digital pathology. Our workflow involves receiving samples from physicians, storing them prior to analysis, testing samples, and reporting test results to the physicians. Sometimes, we receive multiple samples collected from the same patient at different time points. We are also setting up a new genomics laboratory for sample collection and storage. We were looking for a LIMS that can mirror our existing and new workflows seamlessly and adapt to changes over time. Selecting a LIMS vendor was a daunting task but my previous positive experience with CloudLIMS has tipped the scale in their favor. We evaluated LIMS solutions from several vendors, including Thermo Fisher and Labware, and ultimately chose CloudLIMS. CloudLIMS stood out for its functionality and comprehensive range of complimentary services. The ROI is excellent with CloudLIMS.

    CloudLIMS is used daily in work for logging all samples, tests, and to generate test reports.

The software makes this clear to see and enables ease of uses for managing workflow of samples received.
    Cons:

The feature that stands out for us is the ability to track the complete genealogy of samples and manage patient data, including patients' consent. With this feature, we can trace the history of each sample easily, including the patient from whom it was collected, the condition of the patient at the time of collection, etc. The product also enables us to meet ISO 20387 compliance requirements with ease. The team's support during our evaluation process was excellent, and they answered all our questions satisfactorily. We conducted thorough testing before purchasing the product.

    Reasons for choosing CloudLIMS

    Our biorepository is mainly comprised of biospecimens from cancer patients, including blood, tumor, adjacent normal tissue, adipose tissue, and urine. Our partner hospitals in India collect these samples, which are then processed and stored at our facility. One of our biggest challenges was to track the genealogy of each sample and provide our clients with all the necessary information. To ensure the efficient delivery of samples to researchers from academia and industry, it is crucial for us to have a reliable system that can manage and track the information associated with each sample. CloudLIMS helped us overcome these operational hurdles effortlessly. The software's user-friendly interface has enabled our team to adapt to it quickly, and the excellent customer support provided by the CloudLIMS team has been invaluable in addressing any issues we faced
