newLab

Enhance laboratory efficiency with a centralized scheduling system that eliminates booking conflicts, boosts equipment utilization, and expedites scientists' access to necessary resources. Manage shared lab equipment across departments or global locations without reliance on spreadsheets, sticky notes, or disjoined systems.

With real-time visibility into equipment availability, newLab allows teams to reserve equipment in advance, preventing scheduling overlaps. This enables scientists to focus more on experiments rather than on logistics, while lab managers retain comprehensive control over resource access and utilization.

Key Features of the Lab Scheduling & Booking System

• Real-Time Equipment Availability: Instantly updated views of resource availability across all shared lab assets, including equipment, rooms, and services.
• Smart Booking Rules & Permissions: Prevents conflicts with booking windows, usage restrictions, and role-based permissions for high-demand or sensitive equipment.
• Recurring & Linked Bookings: Facilitates recurring and parent-child reservations for repetitive tasks and links bookings with specific projects or experiments.
• Integrated Calendar View: A familiar calendar layout helps visualize and filter bookings, compatible with existing ServiceNow workflows.
• Self-Service Portal for Scientists: Allows users to independently make and oversee reservations while adhering to lab policies and usage protocols.
• Audit Trail & Utilization Logs: Records all booking activities automatically, supporting traceability, analyses, and optimization across departments.

Top pharmaceutical and biotech labs utilize this system to streamline operations, foster efficiency, and maximize resource utilization, saving scientists over 2.5 million hours annually on equipment-related tasks and serving twice as many scientists with the same central team.

Notable outcomes include a 25% reduction in experiment preparation time and complete traceability of end products and raw materials across assays. The system integrates directly with ServiceNow for calendar sync, asset data, and workflow approvals, eliminating the need for middleware. Role-based access ensures users can self-book or manage reservations effectively, with lab managers able to oversee and resolve potential scheduling conflicts.
