ERP runs the business.LIMS runs the lab.
Many industrial companies lose money by relying on ERP and the quality module to handle laboratory testing results.
LabVantage LIMS gives your laboratory a modern system of its own and you stay audit-ready every day, ship batches the moment they are released, and raise the quality of the whole operation.
LabVantage LIMS, implemented and supported in the Nordics by Software Point.
Improve your business with LabVantage LIMS
Audits without the scramble
Every result is stored with its method version, instrument, calibration, analyst and retest history. When the auditor (ISO 17025, GxP etc.) asks how a result was produced, the answer is already in the system.
Shipping that does not wait for the lab
Released results reach the ERP the moment they are approved. Batches move sooner, certificates stop being a bottleneck, and customers get their deliveries faster.
A higher standard across the whole operation
One controlled way of working replaces spreadsheets and manual transfers. That means fewer errors, full traceability, and lab data that shows where quality is drifting before it costs you.
“It speeds up the approval process: instead of many manually entered results, we get the results automatically. We just need to check and approve them.”
| ERP | LIMS | |
|---|---|---|
| Manages | Orders, materials, batches, invoices | Samples, methods, instruments, results |
| Answers | What did we make, sell and ship? | How do we know it is right? |
| Owns | The transaction | The measurement |

Common questions
Wouldn't a single system be simpler?
In theory. In practice it becomes a heavily modified quality module surrounded by spreadsheets. Two purpose-built systems with one interface are easier to run and maintain.
Does a second system mean higher cost?
Usually the opposite. Extending an ERP to do lab work takes longer, costs more, and adds maintenance to every future upgrade.
Do we need to replace or change our ERP?
No. Your ERP stays as it is. The LIMS takes over laboratory work and delivers released results to it.
We have already customized our quality module. What now?
That is where many companies start. What you have built shows clearly which tasks belong in the ERP and which belong in a LIMS.
