One of the benefits of storing all your operational information in a centralized database is that it then becomes instantly available for comprehensive reporting. Your valuable information is at your fingertips.

LIMS has an open design (using industry-standard database platforms) so you can use external reporting tools such as Crystal Reports® if you prefer.

However, LIMS does not require you to buy an external report writer.

LIMS comes with its own built-in Report Wizard that is powerful and easy to use.

Direct export to Excel from virtually any screen in the system

Design, run and schedule your own formatted reports with LIMS Report Wizard

Add powerful charts and graphs to your reports with LIMS Report Wizard DBChart tool

LIMS Report Wizard provides a single solution for your company’s reporting needs. You need only learn and support this one reporting tool. It comes with its own built-in security so that only authorized users can created, modify and run reports. Because your data comes from LIMS central database, your reports are always consistent and always real-time. You can go down to the lowest level of detail you want to, and filter and sort by any criterion in the database.

For presentations with impact, you can add charts and graphs to your reports.

LIMS Report Scheduling features will automatically run and distribute your reports to your own schedule. This includes the ability to email and fax reports as well as hardcopy printing.

All this is in addition to LIMS’ export to Excel feature that is available on virtually every screen for quick filtering and inquiry.

Among the many possibilities:

  • Log, chip and and wood fiber delivery reports
  • Yard and mill inventory reports
  • Financial and operational planning and accounting reports
  • Raw material cost and quality analyses
  • Vendor and customer contract reports
