Case Study: Estonian Agricultural Research Centre boosts lab efficiency by 30% with Helmes digitalization

How Digitalization Boosted Task Efficiency of Agricultural Labs by 30%

The Estonian Agricultural Research Centre faced a significant challenge with inefficient data management across its four separate laboratories. Its outdated processes, which relied on paper, spreadsheets, and a legacy software system, led to duplicated work and wasted time. The centre partnered with the software development company Helmes to create a new, standardized digital system to streamline workflows and connect all their labs.

Helmes developed a custom laboratory software solution by first deeply analyzing the labs' unique processes through workshops and on-site observation. They built a configurable system that automates calculations and data entry, allowing lab technicians to work faster. As a result of this digitalization, the Estonian Agricultural Research Centre's labs are becoming 30% more efficient, delivering unified test results to the agricultural sector significantly faster.
