Our advanced integrations in particular allow most laboratories to achieve a high level of automation for even the most complex reporting and certification requirements, with minimal change and disruption to the existing process. Calibration laboratories are thus able to create and control an unlimited number of templates and calculations.

2. Importing electronic calibration notes
3. Automating the signing and issuing of signed certificates
4. Making signed and or unsigned certificates downloadable (via QR Code or Customer Portal)
