Formulated Solutions faced challenges in their laboratory data management processes, grappling with inefficiencies and inconsistencies across their operations. The headquarters Largo site utilized spreadsheets and paper solutions while the newly acquired Cleveland lab operated a legacy LIMS. Despite this discrepancy, both sites were responsible for conducting similar tasks in environmental and water monitoring, requiring precise data management and regulatory compliance. An essential aspect of addressing these challenges was the harmonization of operations between the Cleveland and Largo sites.
A motivating factor for the transition was Cleveland’s dependence on an expensive legacy LIMS with the lease due Jan 2024. Substantial savings would accrue if processes and data were migrated prior to this date. Failure to configure the new LIMS system before the lease date would result in having to renew their old LIMS system at a considerable cost, making it imperative to implement the new system before the lease renewal date.
Formulated Solutions encountered and overcame several challenges in implementing SciCord LIMS across multiple sites:
Bridging Expertise Disparities: The Cleveland and Largo sites faced a disparity regarding digital ways of working. The Largo site without any previous LIMS experience required a crash course in managing processes electronically. The Largo site had digital expertise albeit with an outmoded LIMS solution which was an advantage but also created confusion in the team due to inefficient legacy processes.
The SciCord team was able to successfully achieve timely completion of the project, aligning with Formulated Solutions’ tight schedule and saving significant costs associated with renewing their legacy LIMS. Harmonized digital processes were achieved resulting in enhanced efficiency and streamlined operations across Formulated Solutions’ Cleveland and Largo sites.
Formulated Solutions previously relied on outdated LIMS systems and manual spreadsheets, which posed challenges common to many organizations dealing with legacy systems. SciCord Informatics Platform provided flexibility to integrate with existing spreadsheets and processes. SciCord adaptability overcame constraints imposed by legacy systems while retaining the valuable aspects of their previous workflows and gaining efficiency throughout the organization.
