Melissa Moore, Chief Technology Officer at SOFIE Inc., said: “We are looking forward to streamlining our manufacturing and QC processes by rolling out PETra and believe that the partnership with LabLogic will have us well prepared.”
LabLogic’s PETra Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) software is used at sites all across the world. Last year the company held a user group in Vienna with 45 customers in attendance from 15 different countries.
Richard Brown, Managing Director at LabLogic, adedd: “We are pleased to secure a deal with such a key player in the industry. Following over 10 years of development and after successful implementations at some of the world’s leading facilities, I’m extremely confident that PETra will be a huge success.”
“LabLogic is a proud Yorkshire company who look to put Sheffield on the map as we implement our products around the world. We strongly believe in recruiting local talent, we have a great relationship with local universities and we try to give back to the local community as much as possible.
“In August we managed to hit our fundraising target of £10,000 for the Sheffield Children’s Hospital, which we are extremely proud of.”
