Press release 9-8-2000
Breda, 9th August 2000 – LabWing B.V. is a new 'start-up',
offering selfmade software applications that enables laboratories to do business
via the internet. A dedicated business-site is under construction and will be
prepared to match automatically the demand for and offer of lab testing services.
LabWing also offers IT-consultancy services and business consultancy activities
for the laboratory branche.
Managing director of LabWing, drs. Luc Scholtis: 'E-commerce has hardly started
within the laboratory world. To direct and monitor the entire process from request
for quotation uo to electronic reporting and invoicing requires very sophisticated
software applications. We have composed a smart development team that disposes
of an impressive expertise in the analytical field as well as in information
and communication technology.If they can not do the job, no one can!
An important issue in the software offer is the fact that the modules can be
used in single mode for the exchange of data in between labclients (purchasers
of lab testing services) and laboratories.
Scholtis: 'I can imagine that people starts looking towards one another in
the first instance and want to evaluate our products to get an impression. So
they can, and they will experience the added value, even when used not in combination
with the internet. Another product that has been completed recently is a unique
interface for the Mass Spectrometry instruments, other techniques will follow
soon.
To get the LabWing name known in the market, the company also built a portal
site for the laboratory community: http://www.lablines.com. This site, unique
for this sector and used by the technicians and lab managers, offers more than
a thousand links to all sorts of usefull sites of suppliers of disposables,
instruments, of laboratories, professional journals and all kinds of institutions.
