We have been using Labmate for more than 25 years, and I’ve personally witnessed its journey from the earliest desktop versions to the modern SQL-based, cloud-integrated platform it is today. What has always stood out is Labmate’s habit of innovating before the industry even asks for it.
Long before SMS gateways became common, they gave us an SMS system built on a simple GPRS modem — and it worked flawlessly. Years before WhatsApp released its official API, Labmate had already created a functional WhatsApp bridge for report delivery. Today, the platform seamlessly handles both SMS gateway and WABA-based communication with ease.
Being the oldest LIMS in India carries a certain advantage: Labmate has seen practically every problem a diagnostic laboratory can face, and the software reflects that collective intelligence. Many features we rely on today were originally built for problems faced by labs across the country — challenges we hadn’t yet encountered ourselves.
That’s the strength of a mature system — it does not just digitize processes, it anticipates them.
Labmate has consistently adapted, modernized, and delivered reliability at a scale that very few healthcare systems manage. After two and a half decades of working with it every single day, I can confidently say: Labmate is not just a LIMS; it’s part of the operational DNA of our lab.
