Client & Challenge

Understanding the lab's pain points and market opportunity.

About the Client

Test Lab Tools is the brainchild of a 15-year lab veteran who saw first-hand how manual documentation, fragmented data, and legacy LIMS add up to cost overruns and compliance risk.

Core Pain Points

  • Hand-written intake forms and spreadsheets slowed every testing workflow.
  • Engineers spent 4–6 hrs/report copying data into Word templates.
  • Custom Salesforce setup was bleeding budget and breaking on every update.
  • No niche SaaS existed for third-party labs—the market was wide open.

Goals

Clear metrics for success and strategic business objectives.

  • Automate the entire test lifecycle—from sample intake to signed PDF report.
  • Cut engineer time per project by at least 40%.
  • Prove market demand and onboard pilot labs at $249/engineer/mo.
  • Keep the stack lean, scalable, and easy for non-technical lab staff.
