Performance
Less manual work, faster results
Process Automation
Configure step-by-step workflows that guide analysts through the analytical process. Automated result imports, data validation rules and transition constraints eliminate repetitive manual tasks.
Instrument Integration
Connect directly to laboratory instruments using built-in interfaces. Results are imported automatically, removing the transcription step and the errors that come with it.
Turnaround Time
Set priorities and due dates on individual analyses. Daily work is planned through worksheets, and overdue tests are visible at a glance.
Control
Complete visibility over every step of the analytical process
ISO/IEC 17025 Ready
SENAITE supports the process controls required for ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation when deployed and operated in a suitable infrastructure.
Audit and Traceability
Every change to an electronic record creates an immutable snapshot. User name, IP address and timestamp are captured automatically. Nothing can be altered without trace.
Data Insights
The built-in dashboard shows laboratory throughput across daily, weekly, monthly and annual intervals. External BI tools connect through the REST JSON API.
Technology
A stack built for production — today and ten years from now
Proven Security
Built on Plone, which holds the best security track record of any major CMS. Role-based access control and a strict state machine prevent unauthorised modification of electronic records.
Reliable Architecture
Runs on Linux with standard web server infrastructure. Load balancers, reverse proxies and virtualisation are all supported. The architecture scales with your laboratory.
Browser-Based
No desktop software to install or maintain. Centralised deployment gives IT full control and any device with a browser can access the system.
Open Source
No license fees. No vendor lock-in. Full access to the source code.
No License Fees
The cost shifts from recurring license fees to implementation and customisation — a capital expense that builds real capability rather than renting access to a black box.
Reliability and Transparency
Open source software is subject to worldwide scrutiny. Research consistently shows it matches or exceeds proprietary alternatives on reliability and security. The source code is always available for audit.
An Investment That Compounds
Every workflow, configuration and integration built on SENAITE is owned outright by the organisation. The work accumulates as institutional knowledge and capability — unlike proprietary systems where costs continue indefinitely and switching remains expensive.
