White Papers

Improve Cash Flow and Reduce Labor Costs with Laboratory Automation and Document Management
At Labcore, a division of Poplar Solutions, performance management begins with benchmarking key laboratory activities that contribute to cost, quality, end-user acceptance, and other important variables. Benchmarking allows lab staff to quantify and demonstrate the improvements to laboratory operations. There are a number of metrics that are captured in this initial phase centered around automation of time consuming paper processes such as data package management and creation, automation of capture and retrieving data and correlated documents, staff acceptance of old paper processes and new computerized process. Select this White paper and find out how spending money on software to automate the laboratory can give an excellent return on investment that improves efficiency, lowers costs and reduces risks.

Labcore SDMS

Labore is a web-based scientific data and document management solution (SDMS) used by leading life sciences, analytical, environmental and other laboratories.  Labcore automatically collects metadata about the data and documents and stores them in their native file format in an easily searchable repository that ensures data and document integrity through its robust and compliant document control features and audit trail.

Labcore differentiates itself from other SDMS' and document management solutions because it seamlessly ties all lab informatics systems together and rapidly produces and assembles data package reports, such as CLP-Like and CLP, saving laboratories thousands of hours and speed up the delivery of these reports to customers.

"Labcore first caught our eye because it could create an electronic structure that mimicked our hard copy filing system, thus making it intuitive for our staff to learn. We view Labcore as being similar to the quantum leap in productivity that DHL Analytical took when decades ago our laboratory went from spreadsheet forms for our data management to our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)." John Dupont, General Manager of Operations at DHL Analytical.

Labcore offers the integration touch points to capture, store, search and access the vast amounts of data, reports, images and intellectual property that are generated in the lab.   Reducing the growing volumes of paper documentation saves money, helps the environment, and frees up work space in the laboratory.  Labcore's customizable workflow automates laboratory operations as well as automates laboratory document and data management.  Labcore forms a key part of a laboratory’s program for complying with government regulations (FDA's 21 CFR Part 11, EPA, NSF and others), industry standards, and internal accountability standards.

Labcore InSight

Labcore InSight™ is a web-based project management, information management and collaboration tool that is highly configurable based on the needs of the organization. InSight enables teams and individuals to create and manage many project types and easily share and collaborate with others through a simple, intuitive interface. InSight was initially built for the needs of project workers at 3M, one of the worlds most innovative companies. Since its launch in 2007 the product has been an instant success due to its ability to improve 3M’s project management and worker productivity.

"The InSight project management system was an instant hit with users. It has enabled greater productivity on projects and sharing of information across the enterprise" Christopher Thomas, Quality Systems Manager 3M Film Manufacturing and Supply Chain Operations, Decatur Film Plant

 

Why is InSight different than other project management and collaboration tools? 

  • Highly flexible system that can be configured to meet the needs of the customer
  • Simple and easy to use built with project workers in mind
  • Implementation approach is very iterative and collaborative with the customer and users ensuring configuration and workflows that meet their needs

 

What are InSight’s Features?

-    Flexible Projects

  • InSight allows authorized users to create virtual any project structure needed and assign team members in a very granular role based security system.  Benefit – as your project needs change the system can be adapted easily to meet your need.
  • Project templates also enable rapid creation of specific project types that are used often. Benefit – users are more inclined to use the system because it makes there job easier.

 

-    Collaboration Tools

  • InSight’s collaboration tools allow project workers to share ideas, documents, emails or files of any type through discussion and files area of each project.

 

-    Document/File Management

  • InSight has a version controlled document library database is very robust and scalable so it can handle the storage needs for the largest enterprise in a very efficient manner. Virtually any file type can be stored and retrieved easily in the InSight software.
  • Documents and files are under version control so the full life cycle of a record can be kept from its initial check in to the system to an unlimited number of revisions.  
  • InSight’s integration with WebDav allows users to collaboratively edit and manage files on remote World Wide Web servers. It provides functionality to create, change and move documents on a remote server. This is useful for, among other things, authoring the documents which a web server serves, but can also be used for general web-based file storage that can be accessed from anywhere.
