OpenLab CDS does the work for you.

Typical reporting workflow

OpenLab CDS reporting workflow

If you analyze approximately 500 samples per month at 10 minutes per sample, including data review time, manual data entry takes about 1000 hours per year or about 25, 40-hour weeks—half of an analysts’ time. Using OpenLab CDS, reporting time can be reduced to 5 minutes per sample for time savings of 500 hours or 12.5 weeks per year.

Eliminating the productivity pitfalls of reporting

Every lab has experienced frustration with other reporting tools. There are limited formatting and display options. Outliers and out-of-specification results have to be manually identified. Data must be transcribed or copied to spreadsheets for custom calculations. Third-party graphical programs need to be pulled in to generate professional-quality reports. The list goes on. OpenLab CDS overcomes these shortcomings with powerful, versatile capabilities that make report generation fast and easy while eliminating errors and reducing both cost and inefficiency.
