Overall Satisfaction with Orchard Harvest LIMS
we have a few different companies under the same owners. I am the IT support for all companies. Two of those companies are PCR labs. We use Harvest as our main LIS and database for lab results and information. Harvest helps us keep up with results, patients, and samples.
Harvest is a good starter LIS for new and starter labs. At a certain point of growth you may want to look into upgrading to Sequoia which is Orchards larger LIS system.

- Good for small labs
- Good support
- Configurable for your environment
- Pricey
- Slow to get big projects done
- Changing database to a standard SQL
- I'm not the numbers guy but I think Harvest has allowed us to grow and efficiently serve our customers.
- From an IT standpoint we have had some trouble with the client crashing.
- We implemented an auto restart to help avoid those delays in work flow.
We were looking into changing to another LIS but they failed to get things done and we ended up staying with Orchard. We are now in the process of moving everything to Sequoia since we have grown so much as a lab. I don't have any other experience with another LIS to compare to.
