History

Broughton Software Ltd. was founded in November 2012[1] as a spinoff from Broughton Laboratories, where their flagship product, LabHQ LIMS, originated. By September 2015, the software had reached its fourth iteration.[2]

In October 2016, Broughton Software achieved UKAS accredited certification to ISO 9001:2015 for operating a quality management system for the design and development, deployment and support of electronic data management systems for use in regulated environments.[3]

Technology and products

LabHQ

LabHQ is a modular and configurable laboratory information management system (LIMS) that helps you "store, process, report and analyse your QC data in a secure electronic environment."[10] The software allows users to manage products, specifications, test methods and user accounts; customize many report types; and work within a GMP-regulated environment.[10] LabHQ can be hosted locally or utilized with a software as a service (SaaS) subscription.

Additional modules

Aside from the base installation, users can choose to add three additional modules: equipment maintenance, stability study management, and stock management modules.[10]

1. The Equipment Maintenance module provides users with the ability to trace equipment used against test results and record that in the audit trail. The main features allow users to track equipment status, create maintenance and calibration schedules, print equipment labels, and generate service history reports.[11]

2. The Stability Study Management module allows users to create study protocols to track the product, storage conditions, time-points, testing regimes, and number of samples stored. Templates can be created for study protocols so that they can be reused for future batches. The module submits a sample for testing once it is pulled from storage via the stability study management module. Users can also receive notifications for each time-point and related trend data.[12]

3. The Stock Management module provides users with the ability to trace stock used against test results and record that in the audit trail. The main features allow users to track inventory, stock levels and status; provide notifications for expiry and low stock levels; generate stock labels; and test self-made stock before use in the lab.[13]
