Optima is empowered by NL42 consulting, an independent European consulting firm that proposes customised services to support the digital transformation of the laboratory processes. The experts at NL42 ran a market analysis and identified a real gap in the area of productivity tools for the laboratories. Most of the companies are performing these activities manually, supported by excel files or by using “in-house” customised solutions.

The scheduling of activities and the capacity to plan are critical areas of attention for laboratories and operation managers. Employees should be supported with a dedicated tool in their effort to move to less paper and digitalised processes. It comes naturally to propose a solution for the laboratories to gain efficiency and increase visibility on their productivity, internally and towards their own customers.

NL42 consulting is also organising the annual congress Paperless Lab Academy (PLA) in which multiple conversations will drive to the adequate management of the scientific data in an industry 4.0. Optima will be present at the #PLA2019, exhibiting the benefits of moving from excel files or similar tools that don’t provide the support and the information access for your needs.
