As powerful and fluid as the processing and reviewing activities of any system may be, it’s the final leg of the journey – reporting – that releases your valuable work as meaningful and useful information for your customers. A well-structured report turns an analysis request into income for your company.

All too often, incumbent systems can leave you wanting in this last step. A variety of reports may be available, but they simply modify one static view of the results into another. Manually transcribing results from either a screen or a printed page is a tedious, time-consuming process that is also subject to potential human error. Isn’t this the type of work for which computers were invented?

Streamlining reporting and making the reports more accessible and easier to archive.

Indigo streamlines this activity as well as it does all other analytical operations. Our reporting capabilities mean an end to the days of manual transcription, and getting buried in paper reports. Reducing paper reports will result in a direct cost savings in your lab and lead to a more advanced workflow, however paperless doesn’t mean paper free. Results are available in formats (such as CSV or XML) which are directly available to your Laboratory Information System (LIS). Whether your LIS is a commercial product or one that was developed in-house, customized report outputs can be defined and provided by the Indigo team.

Reporting the results to the LIS and then on to the customer is sometimes considered the end of the journey, but that’s only from the immediate task at hand. Beyond the analysis request itself, the analytical data need to live on and be available in a format which supports a variety of subsequent activities, such as internal QA/QC audits or legal considerations. Indigo has focused on the full lifetime and utility of the results. In a lab, taking a close look at one batch is good, taking a look at batches over time is exceptional. Retrospective analytics can assist with operational, quality and automation improvement. Bringing those analytics into real-time review, magnifies their impact, and brings a focus to your entire business.

Imagine how valuable it would be to get a sense of which instrument is on the verge of going out of production, and how much more responsive your lab could be if you could re-route your workflow based on that information.
