Key Features Built for Geoscience & Mining Labs

Control drill-core and field-sample receipt, preparation, instrument capture, QA/QC review, statistics and authorised reporting in one geoscience LIMS.

Logistics and Chain of Custody

Barcode every core, soil, or rock chip and follow it from the rig to the bench with full chain of custody.

Customer-Configured Workflows

Trigger prep steps, acid digests, and instrument runs automatically so your team spends less time on admin.

Analytics and Metrology

Stream XRF, ICP-MS, XRD, and density meter data straight into the LIMS with no retyping or formatting.

Enforce QA ⁄ QC

Apply local mining codes and environmental limits in every assay, QA check, and batch release.

Statistics and Controlled Reporting

Publish grade reports, composite intervals, and GIS-ready CSV files in one click for clients and geologists.

Inventory, Odoo and GIS Operations

Syncs with SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, JD Edwards, Oracle, Salesforce, and GIS platforms via Odoo's open connectors.

FAQs

The LIMS supports configurable chain-of-custody, QA/QC and controlled-reporting workflows. Templates can be configured around requirements relevant to the laboratory’s ISO/IEC 17025 scope and selected JORC, NI 43-101 or SAMREC reporting obligations; conformity depends on laboratory procedures and competent professional review.

Absolutely. Role-based access lets geologists, prep rooms, and assay labs share data in real time. Dashboards show sample status across rigs, field camps, and central labs, even when teams work in different countries.

Yes. Results flow automatically from XRF, ICP-MS, XRD, density meters, and balances. You can also export GIS-ready CSV or shapefiles so exploration teams map grades without extra formatting.

Log rock core, chip, soil, stream-sediment and environmental samples, then assign XRF, ICP-MS, XRD, LOI, density or petrographic methods. Custom fields let you add GPS, depth, lithology, or any metadata your workflow needs.

We offer remote onboarding sessions, step-by-step video tutorials, and a ticketed help desk with 24-hour response on business days. Dedicated success managers are available for enterprise plans.

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with granular user roles and audit logs. Choose our cloud servers for instant updates or deploy on your own hardware if you need full on-premise control.
