Labmate is an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software

ERP is the acronym for Enterprise Resource Planning. ERP utilizes ERP software applications to improve the performance of organizations' resource planning, management control, and operational control. ERP software is multi-module application software that integrates activities across functional departments, from product planning, purchasing, inventory control, sales, and product distribution, to order tracking. ERP software should include application modules for a business's finance, accounting, and human resources aspects. Traditionally, each department would have its computer system designed to achieve its specific work needs on several software systems and Excel sheets.  Now Labmate.net ERP LIMS system integrates all the separate systems of all the departments into itself.

Labmate.net ERP LIMS integrates all data and processes of an organization into one system and creates a unified database. This enables the different departments to share information, communicate and standardize work processes. It serves the functions of all different departments such as patient management, services, sales, marketing, finance, and human resources, including training and competency management, inventory and materials management, QC, Asset Management, Payroll, Data warehouse, and Business intelligence.

In a company that doesn't implement an ERP, the data is entered again and again in several departments.  For example, a patient order placed at reception is billed in billing or re-recorded in inventory by feeding the requisite information again.
