Core Feature

Workflow Automation

Streamline laboratory operations with intelligent workflow automation. Route samples automatically, assign tasks efficiently, and eliminate manual bottlenecks to achieve faster turnaround times.

Visual Workflow Designer

Design and modify laboratory workflows without coding using our intuitive visual workflow builder. Create complex branching logic and conditional routing with drag-and-drop simplicity.

  • Drag-and-Drop Builder - Create workflows visually by connecting workflow steps. No technical expertise required to design or modify processes.
  • Conditional Logic - Build intelligent routing based on sample type, test requested, clinical urgency, or any data attribute.
  • Workflow Templates - Start with pre-built templates for common laboratory workflows. Customise to match your specific requirements.
  • Version Control - Track workflow changes with full version history. Roll back to previous versions when needed.

Intelligent Task Assignment

Automatically distribute work across your team based on skills, workload, and availability. Ensure the right person handles every task at the right time.

  • Skill-Based Routing - Match tasks to staff based on qualifications, competencies, and authorisation levels. Ensure compliance with training requirements.
  • Workload Balancing - Distribute tasks evenly across available staff. Monitor individual and team workloads in real-time.
  • Priority Queuing - Automatically prioritise urgent samples and time-sensitive tests. Override capabilities for emergency situations.
  • Task Reassignment - Easy task handover between staff members with full context preservation. Coverage for absences and shift changes.

Process Automation

Eliminate manual steps with configurable automation rules. Trigger actions automatically based on events, conditions, or schedules.

  • Event Triggers - Initiate automated actions when specific events occur - sample receipt, result entry, authorisation, or status changes.
  • Reflex Testing - Automatically add follow-up tests based on initial results. Configure cascading test logic for diagnostic pathways.
  • Auto-Validation - Automatically validate and release results within defined parameters. Focus human review on exceptions and abnormals.
  • Scheduled Actions - Run automated processes on schedule - batch processing, report generation, data exports, and maintenance tasks.
