Workflow Automation

Design it. Automate it. Forget it.

Build laboratory workflows visually, enforce them with a rules engine, and let automation handle the repetitive work — so your analysts can focus on science.

Visual Workflow Designer

Build lab workflows on a drag-and-drop canvas. Define steps, decision points, parallel paths, and approval gates — then simulate before deploying to production.

  • Drag-and-drop step creation and ordering
  • Conditional branching based on sample type or results
  • Parallel processing paths for independent tests
  • Multi-level approval gates with role assignment
  • Workflow simulation and dry-run testing
  • Version control with rollback capability

Rules Engine

Define business rules as configurable JSON policies — no code changes required. Rules trigger data validation, automated re-testing, alert escalation, and status transitions.

  • JSON-based rule definitions editable by lab managers
  • Data validation rules with custom error messages
  • Automated re-test triggering on QC failure
  • Alert escalation chains with timeout handling
  • Status transition rules per sample type
  • Rule versioning with audit trail

Automated Notifications

Trigger email, SMS, or in-app notifications at any workflow step. Notify analysts of new assignments, managers of pending approvals, and clients of completed results.

  • Configurable notification triggers per workflow step
  • Email, SMS, and in-app notification channels
  • Template-based messages with dynamic data
  • Escalation on missed deadlines
  • Client notification on report release
  • Notification digest for high-volume labs

Automation Scripts

Extend workflows with automation scripts that handle repetitive tasks — instrument data parsing, result calculations, report generation, and regulatory submissions.

  • Event-driven script execution
  • Pre-built scripts for common lab calculations
  • Instrument data parsing and normalization
  • Automated report generation on QA approval
  • Regulatory submission queue management
  • Script logging with full audit trail

No-Code Configuration

Lab managers configure workflows, rules, panels, and templates through an admin interface — no developer required. Changes take effect immediately with full version control.

  • Admin UI for all workflow configuration
  • Live configuration changes without deployment
  • Role-based access to configuration tools
  • Configuration export and import between environments
  • Change approval workflows for critical settings
  • Full configuration audit trail

Process Templates

Start from pre-built templates for common laboratory processes — environmental testing, cannabis compliance, food safety protocols — and customize to your specific needs.

  • Industry-specific workflow templates
  • Template library with community contributions
  • One-click template deployment
  • Template customization with override layers
  • Multi-site template sharing
  • Template versioning and update management
