    Sample testing is great, communications (emails) out is so-so, depending on your need, you have to develop something. But that is not hard to do.

    I'd highly recommend LigoLab for any lab environment looking to raise the efficiency of their daily workflow processes. A lot of other platforms require a bit of legwork to fit into a given workflow, but LigoLab is robust and adaptable with ample customer support that will allow you to find the most optimal solution to any issues you're facing. I would recommend it to any smaller lab focusing on anatomic pathology/molecular testing.

    Pros
    Labware
    • One of the strengths of this program, as previously stated, is to track your sample through the entire testing process, from log-in to results reporting.
    • It is also handy to generate reports of sample results using the LabWare LIMS program.
    • LabWare LIMS provides a great way to preserve testing results electronically for future needs.

    Cons
    Labware
    • The management of Event Triggers can stand to use some improvement. Especially when it comes to using the "DEFAULT" template event versus the specific template event.
    • Licenses are considered "concurrent". But LabWare does not have a feature that tells me (at any level) what my peak license usage is. For example ... if I own 100 licenses, LabWare will tell me at any given time how many licenses I am using. But it won't tell me at the end of the day, week, or month, what my peak usage was. So if I own 100 licenses, and I look at my usage right now, it might say I am using 50 licenses out of 100. Does this mean I have 50 too many licenses? Probably not. I just need a way of telling what my peak usage is so that if I want to roll LabWare out to another site, do I need to buy more licenses? Or will my 100 cover for it?
    • Importing data into static data tables is not well done in LabWare ... or even available. I can do it outside of LabWare with database management tools such as TOAD. But it is up to me to make sure all the tables and columns are populated correctly. It would be nice to have a feature within LabWare to do import data (from Excel spreadsheet for example) directly into some of the main tables.

    • Further customizability of certain core sections to display more information would be useful. There are some times when my users would like to have certain features or implementations available, but due to the restrictive nature of core functionality, these aren't easily configured or possible at times.
    • Speed of platform. Due to how the program is implemented, booting it up can take some time on the user end though it is fine once someone enters the LIS environment. Ideally, we'd have faster load times for the program as that is the biggest complaint I receive from our doctors who use multiple systems on a daily basis.

    Return on Investment
    Labware
    • Very positive. It allows the production units to increase volumes (and thus sampling) with minor impact on the lab.

    • Since we've implemented the platform we've been able to provide our services to more clients by presenting them with a highly functional reporting platform that will efficiently distribute finalized reports to them directly. The ease of access on the platform has made our workflows more efficient and allowed us to reduce turnaround time from receipt of a specimen to final report release.
