Case Study

Digitizing Laboratory Operations with Biovia ONE Lab Integration

A leading pharmaceutical company aimed to modernize its laboratory operations by digitizing standard operating procedures (SOPs), integrating instruments, and ensuring compliance with GxP standards across global labs.

Business Challenges

Lab operations were fragmented, relying heavily on manual processes to execute SOPs, capture instrument data (e.g., HPLC), and track inventory.
This led to inefficiencies, data silos, audit risks, and limited scalability of digital lab practices.

Technologies Used

Biovia ONE Lab, Compose, Capture, HPLC, SAP, CISPro, Smart QC, Intelligent Batching, Bitbucket, REST APIs, ETL pipelines
