Built for testing laboratories, QBench is a cloud LIMS that brings samples, workflows, lab data, inventory, reporting, quality processes, and client interactions into a single system. From order placement through sample processing, results, and automated reporting, QBench supports every stage of lab operations. Lab teams configure their own workflows, data fields, and automation rules, so the software fits existing processes instead of forcing new ones. When requirements shift, labs can adjust fields, processes, and automations without depending heavily on custom code. Instruments, software, and outside systems connect to QBench through file parsers and a robust API, which moves data automatically and limits repetitive entry and transcription mistakes. For reporting beyond the LIMS, labs can connect QBench to Tableau, Power BI, Domo, or Looker via REST API. What labs get with QBench: Sample and workflow management Configurable workflows and custom data fields Workflow automation Instrument and system integrations File parsing and API connectivity Inventory management A client portal Automated reporting Analytics and operational insights Connections to Tableau, Power BI, Domo, and Looker A built-in Quality Management System (QMS) Because it runs in the cloud, lab teams get secure access to their data, workflows, quality management, and reporting in one centralized platform. Implementation and ongoing guidance come from a team that includes former bench scientists who understand laboratory workflows.

Altium Develop is a collaborative platform for modern electronics engineering teams that connects requirements management, PCB design, systems engineering, and manufacturing workflows. Built on Altium Designer and Altium 365, the platform provides a centralized environment for design collaboration, requirements traceability, BOM management, supply chain visibility, and engineering change management. Altium Develop helps hardware organizations maintain alignment between requirements, design decisions, and manufacturing outcomes while supporting distributed engineering teams through cloud-based collaboration. Core Features: • PCB design collaboration • ECAD-MCAD co-design workflows • Component and supply chain visibility • BOM and engineering change management • Design review and approval workflows • Cloud-native team collaboration • Requirements management and traceability Used by electronics teams building complex PCB-based products, Altium Develop is frequently evaluated alongside Cadence OrCAD, Cadence Allegro, Autodesk Fusion Electronics, KiCad, Siemens Xpedition, and SOLIDWORKS PCB for organizations seeking greater collaboration and lifecycle visibility across hardware development programs.
