Case Study: Britvic achieves faster sample processing and a paperless microbiology lab with LabVantage Solutions

Dramatically Reduces Bottlenecks in Microbiology Lab by Replacing Paper System with LABVANTAGE

Britvic, a leading UK and European soft drink and juice manufacturer that processes more than 20,000 lab samples a year, faced growing laboratory workload and a paper-based microbiology system that created clerical bottlenecks and limited reporting and accreditation support. To gain scalability and automation, Britvic turned to LabVantage Solutions, using LABVANTAGE alongside its existing LV LIMS as it planned a migration to the LABVANTAGE suite.

LabVantage Solutions implemented LABVANTAGE in parallel with LV LIMS, performing integration testing and providing face-to-face and one-on-one training, testing and prototyping environments. As a result, Britvic has dramatically reduced manual clerical work and bottlenecks in the microbiology lab and gained capabilities such as automatic sample-receipt emails, faster booking of large batches, improved sample tracking and ad hoc reporting (including images), and stronger support for UKAS accreditation — benefits enabled by LabVantage Solutions’ LABVANTAGE platform.
