News Release Details

HALIFAX, Sept. 18, 2017 /CNW/ – kneat.com, inc. (TSXV: KSI) (“Kneat” or the “Company”), announces that it has partnered with a key customer to publish a case study entitled “Newly optimized Laboratory Asset Lifecycle Management System supports QC Laboratory of the Future” which is published in The Parental Drug Association (“PDA”) Letter.

“Kneat is delighted to play such a key role in our customer’s innovative lab of the future project”, stated Eddie Ryan, Chief Executive Officer of Kneat. “This is a testament to Kneat’s next generation, innovative software platform which continues to demonstrate its ability to drive productivity, reduce cycle times and increase visibility and compliance”.

The case study outlines the key features of the Kneat Gx platform that enabled the conversion of a manual, paper-based process to a globally centralized electronic system for all QC laboratory asset lifecycle management. The customer re-engineered and streamlined their analytical instrument qualification process and then configured this new process on the Kneat platform. The key features cited were flexibility to configure the newly optimized process to be fully paperless end-to-end, including all testing activities, ability to template protocols and reports, and instant visibility and control of all information across all sites.

• The project resulted in the following benefits:
• global standardization of the laboratory asset lifecycle management process;
• simplified protocol generation, review and pre-approval;
• simplified and paperless protocol execution and discrepancy management;
• simplified protocol post execution review and approval;
• leveraging and reuse of previous lab asset validation information;
• eliminated paper and document manual handling, management, storage and many other manual steps;
• improved audit preparedness;
• improved metrics visibility on all aspects of the process;
• improved information access; and
• enabled faster new asset onboarding cycle time.
