DESCRIPTION
The healthcare industry is known for rigid guidelines and strict oversight. Small businesses in the space are often saddled with crippling overhead in order to meet these restrictions. One pharma-tech company is automating complex processes (including government and legal compliance), driving sales, and increasing data confidence by creating a Sugar-based laboratory information management system so sophisticated and capable that hospitals want to buy it. See how Cells4Life approaches 'automating everything' - and consider the possibilities for your own business.

Why did we need a CRM?

Smart Investment
Salesforce/Laboratory Management System = up to $800k!
“We have recreated those expensive laboratory information management systems with something that was bespoke for us for a fraction of the cost. It not only has more functions, but it is more powerful. It is the best laboratory information system I have ever seen, and we have hospitals now asking us if they can use our system.”
- Wayne Channon, Chairman
