A CRO's credibility rests on chain of custody: who moved each sample, when, where, and at what temperature.
IntelliLab's first sample screens tracked storage, but receiving, discrepancies, runs, and freeze-thaw limits were not modeled; much evidence lived in paper logs.
What we built
Backend, database model, and every screen, designed and built end to end.
- 01
Receiving workflow
With couriers, packages, temperature loggers, and approval under electronic signature.
- 02
Manifest import
That reads Excel or CSV and finds the header row on its own.
- 03
Accessioning
With condition, and reconciliation of unidentified tubes against missing manifest rows.
- 04
Storage hierarchy
From building to box, with capacity tracking and four temperature ranges.
Key features
Automatic freeze-thaw counting
Hitting the study's limit raises an alert.
