Quick answer Laboratories handle samples, tests, reagents, results and client billing. In Bahrain, laboratories typically need: sample registration, reagent and consumable stock, results and reports, client billing. ERP covers stock, billing and equipment; core lab systems may remain separate. - Reagent expiry - Manual client invoicing - Calibration tracking gaps - Key records: samples and tests, reagents and lots, clients and contracts Choosing software for laboratories? Platforms we implement include [Zoho](https://www.erpbahrain.com/zoho/), [Odoo](https://www.erpbahrain.com/odoo/), [ERPNext](https://www.erpbahrain.com/erpnext/), [Microsoft Dynamics 365](https://www.erpbahrain.com/microsoft-dynamics/) or [custom ERP](https://www.erpbahrain.com/custom-erp/).

Plan ## A Phased Plan for Laboratories ### 1. Discover - Map sample registration and reagent and consumable stock - Confirm data and reporting needs - Choose the platform ### 2. Configure - Set up sample registration - Set up reagent and consumable stock - Build roles and approvals ### 3. Extend - Add results and reports - Add client billing and equipment and calibration - Connect analysers or lis Go-Live ## Phase 4 and Timing Phase 4, go live: migrate and reconcile samples and tests and reagents and lots, train each role and support the first weeks. Timing depends on scope, data quality and team availability, so we agree dates after discovery rather than promising a fixed duration.
