STARLIMS, a global leader in Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) and informatics solutions, today announced Quality Manufacturing (QM) Essentials, a new cloud-based LIMS developed for small and mid-sized (SMB) batch manufacturers to bring products to market quickly and more cost-effectively.

The launch reflects STARLIMS’ commitment to meeting the unique needs of smaller batch manufacturing organizations who need the power of a LIMS without the cost or complexity of a large-scale implementation. Built for pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and consumer product industries, QM Essentials allows SMBs to simplify compliance and expedite batch release with an out-of-the-box solution that can be deployed in as little as 4-6 weeks.

A Cost-Effective SaaS LIMS with Less Complexity

Pre-configured and pre-loaded with essential features such as batch login, environmental monitoring, outsource samples, and static data, QM Essentials is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) LIMS that allows SMB labs to get started fast, while minimizing costs and avoiding the need for expensive, custom solutions. The LIMS also includes pre-configured roles, allowing manufacturers to quickly automate and streamline their labs to get to market faster.

“With the QM Essentials LIMS, we’re bringing STARLIMS’ decades of expertise to smaller manufacturers who face the same quality and compliance pressures as large enterprises, but need a less complex solution,” said Lauren Whitsell, Chief Product & Operations Officer at STARLIMS. “QM Essentials allows SMBs to improve lab efficiency, productivity, and traceability with a cost-effective, scalable LIMS designed to do more, with less.”

Built on Proven STARLIMS Technology

QM Essentials distills years of proven LIMS technology into a less complex, scalable system, giving SMB manufacturers the flexibility to start small and seamlessly expand to the full-featured Quality Manufacturing (QM) LIMS as their needs evolve—without the need for a major system migration.

Optional STARLIMS solution extensions such as Stability Studies and Advanced Analytics 2.0 are also available for organizations that want to expand capabilities and gain deeper insights into lab performance.

Delivering Lab Excellence for Nearly Four Decades

QM Essentials reflects STARLIMS’ continued investment in helping organizations of all sizes modernize lab operations. With years of experience supporting global enterprise manufacturing leaders, STARLIMS is excited to extend those benefits to smaller manufacturers seeking agility, efficiency, and optimization at scale.
