FAQ

Q1: It is now clear to me that Labs-of-Time® is the heart of your business concept. Explain again what exactly Labs-of-Time® does and what you mean by 'virtual front-office'?

A1:Labs-of-Time® is a complete set of web applications that facilitates business communication between laboratories and their customers, in particular in the ordering phase and in the reporting process. This is done by interweaving these pre- and post-analytical processes so closely with the analysis phase itself that communication is highly automated and nevertheless acquires a highly personal, customer-specific dimension. By 'front office' we mean the side of the laboratory that is visible to the customer: the employees who speak to clients, take their orders, are responsible for (interim) reporting, etc. Since Labs-of-Time® performs many of these 'desk tasks' ', one can therefore speak of a 'virtual front-office'.

Q2:Can you briefly explain what LabCarrier® does exactly?

A2:LabCarrier® is an expert system that guarantees an efficient transfer of analysis results from instruments (and any data acquisition systems). These large amounts of raw data are processed quickly and adequately, after which the results are forwarded to the underlying LIMS. This leads to less error sensitivity, considerable quality improvement and remarkable speed gain. Since analysts save a lot of time, they can use their expertise for more useful things than routinely checking results. Click here for more detailed product information.

Q5: You talk about 'matching' research supply and demand. As a laboratory, am I going to lose customers to your system?

Q6:All wonderful, but how do you actually earn your living?

A6. In many different ways. Firstly, there is the sale of the licenses for our software. Second, we have the time business in consultancy. Third, advertising revenue from www.lablines.com.
