WinLims Rental offers an affordable way of boosting business efficiency
As the threat of a recession in the UK looms closer by the day many small to medium sized organizations are seeking new affordable ways of running and managing their businesses to boost their efficiency, enhance their competitiveness and improve customer satisfaction.
For many organizations there is also the added pressure of ensuring that they comply with an ever growing list of regulations and audit trails.
While funds are getting tighter, small organizations are finding that there is also an increasing demand for more information to be recorded, audited and be made available for third parties or regulatory authorities. Although numerous Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are available they often feature a hefty price tag and many small organizations simply do not have the throughput volume of work to justify purchasing these solutions outright.
Increasingly the shrewder small businesses are using a combination of LIMS based technology and rental financing to give them a greater competitive edge. QSI’s WinLims family of products provide the technology solution to enable time and cost savings to be achieved when gathering and managing key analytical data. WinLims also addresses a number of major strategic objectives such as data security, traceability and validation.
To enhance the benefits of using WinLims, QSI offers the solution as a rental option which is becoming popular with small and medium sized organizations.
“Many smaller businesses are beginning to lock down their coffers and become more cautious about their future expenditure on IT projects,” suggested Clive Collier, QSI’s managing director. “Now small organizations are starting to recognise they need certain solutions like LIMS to help grow their business and boost their efficiencies. There is also no doubt that they do not want to part with their capital because they may need that for some rainy days ahead. QSI’s WinLims rental solution was developed in direct response to this trend for small to medium sized businesses. It does not involve a large capital outlay and is also a tax deductible solution”.
“WinLims Rental enables small organizations to get hold of LIMS technology that will help them navigate through any potential or real downturn in the economy. WinLims Rental allows businesses to maximise efficiencies in how their organization works. WinLims also provides advanced reporting capabilities plus a whole raft of other administrative benefits that help make an organization more efficient overall”.
QSI’s WinLims Rental provides ‘out of the box’ LIMS software for a rental fee of a few hundred pounds a month – typically £265 per month for a 3-user system. WinLims Rental is identical to QSI’s full WinLims system, and comes bundled with an installation program and tutorials to get users up and running as quickly and easily as possible. The rental agreements can be converted to a subscription contract or full purchase at any time, keeping an organization’s options open.
“Many small organizations spend several hours a week just on their reporting activities,” explained Collier. “In these cases the LIMS system not only pays for itself through improved efficiency but also enables the organizations to either cut a member of staff or re-allocate that person to take up a more productive role or generate revenue from other means. Either way the LIMS solution will help reduce overheads and boost cashflow. By renting the LIMS system a small organization is able to pay for the LIMS through its return on investment (ROI) each month. WinLims Rental enables a small organization to grow its business more efficiently while at the same generating a greater throughput of work”.
The ability to use a LIMS also enables any organization to feed its clients more and more useful data about projects. LIMS allows a variety of fiscal charting and fiscal reports to be automatically generated and tailored to a client’s requirements. These enhanced reporting capabilities also tend to make clients more appreciative and more reluctant to switch to a rival business.
