Laboratory staff often deal with incomplete information when samples are dropped off in the lab, such as unclear details on tests and specifications associated with the samples. Without insights into these details, samples can be displaced, assigned to the wrong project, or the wrong test is ordered, leading to errors, project delays, and ultimately impact profitability. Labs can achieve efficient operations with MetaField, an Operational Workflow Platform, by ensuring samples are accounted for and key information is accessible to all project stakeholders.
Many firms face a disconnect between their field and lab staff due to paper-based methods and outdated technologies that fail to provide updates on sample details. MetaField bridges this gap, fostering collaboration between field and lab technicians and ensuring accurate analysis and reporting. With its integrated laboratory information management system, MetaField provides full chain-of-custody transparency from the moment samples are collected in the field, tracking them throughout their testing lifecycle.
Laboratory accreditation demands meticulous record-keeping across all locations. Relying on paper documents stored in file cabinets can complicate referencing or locating records during audits, costing your firm time and money. MetaField’s comprehensive solution streamlines this process, allowing you to create, store, and manage all lab accreditation documentation and records digitally, reducing on-site audit time by 25-50%. MetaField also facilitates proactive equipment management by enabling firms to upload machinery lists, set calibration dates, and receive maintenance reminders, ensuring timely calibrations and uninterrupted project progress.
Maintaining project schedules is essential for protecting your reputation and enhancing client satisfaction. To avoid bottlenecks, lab supervisors must evenly distribute assignments among staff. With MetaField, supervisors gain visibility into work queues, allowing them to manage workloads effectively and ensure all tests are completed on time and to the required specifications.
Once tests are finalized on field samples, reports are generated and sent to management for their approval before results are sent to clients. MetaField, an Operational Workflow Platform, provides a secure, compliant integrated digital signature that allows management to sign off on reports within the platform, getting your team the approvals they need in minutes.
