Findings Software SAS develops and distributes laboratory informatics software solutions.

History

Findings Software was founded on July 1, 2013[2] by developers Alexander Griekspoor and Charles Parnot.[1] The company released a demo of its Mac-based Findings software on April 25, 2014, with plans of a version 1.0 of the software to follow soon after.[3] However, Parnot revealed a month later that the duo had been working on the framework for Findings five years before, but work on another project called Papers had taken their attention away from Findings. Version 1.0 of the software was released on May 22.[4] On August 18, the company announced a demo of Findings for iOS was available upon request.[5]

Technology and products

Findings

Findings is an electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) for Mac and iOS "that aims to replace the paper lab notebook still in use in most research labs."[6] The company stated it may consider creating a Windows version if demand is sufficient.[6]

The iOS landing page can be found here.

Features

The following feature list(s) is/are derived solely from public, freely-available online information the vendor provides. A lack of a "Y" does not necessarily mean that the product doesn't have that feature. The lack of a "Y" could mean:
  • the vendor chose to not put relevant feature information online despite its existence in the product.
  • the vendor chooses to make the feature information available only to those who create an account or call/e-mail.
  • the feature information exists online to the public, but a URL could not be found to cite the existence of the feature.
  • the feature does not exist for the product.
A vendor's product may receive more confirmed features with the addition of more public information to the vendor's site and/or by providing a URL to a page or document that can act as a citation for the existence of the feature. Prospective buyers are highly recommended to contact the vendor directly to verify features as this list isn't authoritative, and product upgrades and changes happen rapidly in some cases.
