ISO 17025 audit readiness

The practical QMS for regulated labs.

Documents, training, compliance actions, schedule, and inventory in one place — audit-ready every day, not the night before. Practical, because your team will actually use it: plain lab words, an iPad on the bench, live in four one-hour calls.

20 minutes about your lab — and what to fix first.
Sound familiar?

Two, three, four audits a year. Running on spreadsheets and memory.

“We opened four spreadsheets.” That’s a real lab describing its quality system. And it’s how audit-readiness lives in most private labs: Excel, a shared drive, Outlook reminders — and one QA person’s memory holding it all together. It holds, until the audit is scheduled. Then the scramble: weeks of hunting signatures, versions, calibration certs, training records, while the actual lab work still has to ship.

 

Software was supposed to fix this. But the fix was never just a QMS — it was a practical QMS the whole lab would actually use.

The solution

One system runs the quality side of your lab

LabMODO puts documents, training, compliance actions, schedule, and inventory in one place — four pillars, one loop, watched from above. Everything has exactly one home; work flows between the pillars, things don’t.

Mission Control

What’s due, what’s late, what’s exposed. One screen, no digging.

01 / Document control

The rules of engagement

SOPs, methods, forms — approved before they’re live, current at the bench, everything tracked.

02 / People & training

The team, provably able

Training acknowledged, competency proven by doing — and when a document changes, its people retrain.

03 / Operations

The daily work, in one place

The quality schedule — PTs, maintenance, reviews — plus equipment, calibration, inventory, and expiry.

04 / Compliance

Checked against your standards

Catch it, close it, prove it — NCs, CAPAs, complaints, internal audits, evidence.

Rules → able people → daily work → checked against your standards. One system, watched from above.

And when an audit finds something? 
Findings update the rules. The loop closes. That return arrow is the part nobody else builds.

How it works

Live in four weeks. Not a systems project.

01

We move everything in

Your documents, equipment register, schedule, and people. You don’t build the system — we do.

02

We check it against your standard

We check every SOP, record, and competency against the clause it has to satisfy. Our ISO team names each gap and closes it with you. You find the gaps. Not your assessor.

03

Your team learns it

We move at the pace your people can take, because change lands hard on a bench that is already behind.

"ISO 17025 doesn't care that your records exist. It cares that you can produce them in under a minute."

The assessor asks for a calibration record, a training file, a CAPA trail. You click. It’s there — current, approved, tracked. That’s the whole test.

“Using an older LIMS creates gaps in document tracking, which forces our lab to rely on spreadsheets and calendar reminders to meet deadlines. Those tools can be helpful, but they’re inefficient and time-consuming. LabMODO closes that gap by providing an efficient tracking tool that keeps everything in one place.”

Works with or without your LIMS

LabMODO is not a LIMS, and it never replaces one. Your LIMS runs samples and results. LabMODO runs everything the assessor actually audits — documents, training, schedule, compliance actions, inventory. It starts where the LIMS stops. Fine with it, fine without it.

Who is it for

Built for the lab you actually run

5–100 people. One or two of them carrying quality for everyone. Several audits a year.

Owners & CEOs 

A real business

A lab that’s audit-ready every day is a lab that runs — and sells — without you in every decision. Mission Control tells you where you stand in one glance.

Lab directors

No systems project

The daily work — schedule, equipment, inventory, people — in one place instead of five. You run the lab; the system keeps the record.

Quality managers

Off the hamster wheel

The system does the chasing — acknowledgments, retraining, past-due follow-up — so you stop being the lab’s memory and start closing findings.

Common questions

Questions labs actually ask

If yours isn’t here, ask it on the demo.

Is LabMODO a LIMS, or a replacement for one?

No. Your LIMS handles samples and results. LabMODO runs the quality side — documents, training, schedule, compliance actions, inventory. It works with or without your LIMS, and it never replaces it.

How long before we’re actually running?

Most teams are running after four one-hour calls — one a week for four weeks. We move everything in first, then teach the team. Every activation is run by a certified ISO auditor who reviews and improves your quality content along the way.

We have one QA person for the whole lab. Is this too much system?

It’s built for exactly that lab. 5–50 people, one or two carrying quality for everyone. The system does the chasing — acknowledgments, retraining, past-due follow-up — so your QA person stops being the lab’s memory.

Will our bench and field staff actually use it?

That’s the design test. An analyst opens the current SOP on an iPad at the bench, acknowledges training, logs the reading — done. Plain lab words, no back-office maze. If daily users don’t use it, it isn’t a quality system.

Are you A2LA, ANAB, or PJLA certified?

Accreditation bodies accredit labs, not software — be wary of anyone claiming otherwise. What LabMODO does is keep your lab audit-ready for your next A2LA, ANAB, or PJLA assessment: current documents, provable training, records in under a minute.
