London-based LIMS
developer, Two Fold Software Limited, is looking to protect prospective
customers from wasting time and valuable capital installing the wrong
LIMS solution for their requirements with a rental payment option for
its Qualoupe LIMS solution.
A new breed of easy-to-use
LIMS that offers major productivity gains, improved quality management
and reporting flexibility, the Qualoupe LIMS features an intuitive,
configurable user interface that greatly simplifies LIMS use and revolutionises
work flow to offer significantly lower running costs and the opportunity to
minimize staffing levels.
The monthly rental payment option is now available for
Two Fold Software's Qualoupe LIMS in conjunction
with the company's normal purchase solution.
The new rental alternative offers several business benefits which
include:
- The
capability to conserve valuable capital reserves;
- A monthly
tax efficient rental fee that can be offset against any corporation tax
burden;
- A quick
return on investment as a consequence of the low monthly fee and the
minimal effort needed to go live.
"We originally introduced the rental option for our easy-to-use
Qualoupe LIMS solution to enable medium and smaller businesses to be able to
afford a commercial LIMS, this proved to be successful and delivered a number
of benefits," explained Paul Bateman, Two Fold Software's Business Development
Manager. "However, since introducing
the rental scheme we have
found that there are several other business benefits. For example, when you consider that more than
50 percent of LIMS ever installed fail to deliver fully what the customer was
expecting, it explains why prospective customers are often concerned about
wasting valuable capital on the wrong system."
"Many companies can often go through the expensive
evaluation and selection process and still get it wrong. The rental option helps here because there is
no contract only an agreement to pay the monthly fee if they are using the
system. So if the LIMS solution should fail to deliver the required result they
simply cease to pay and that is the end of it.
We believe the rental option totally removes the risk in selection."
"Even if a client wants to purchase it makes sense to
rent first and then purchase outright at a later stage. We regularly replace existing LIMS systems
previously purchased from other vendors.
In this scenario clients have pointed out that Qualoupe's rental cost
during the year is less than the annual support for their previous LIMS and
that means they are able to get a new LIMS without increasing their ongoing
costs. An additional benefit of renting
a Qualoupe LIMS is that it represents a fraction of the cost of recruiting a
new staff member while enabling a company to achieve a greater work throughput.
This is very attractive at a time when managers are under pressure to reduce costs
and increase efficiency."
Another advantage of taking the rental approach is
that some clients are able to pay for their LIMS out of their consumables
budget due to the small monthly costs associated with the rental option which
also avoids the need for time consuming cost justification process or in some
cases the cost of issuing and subsequently evaluating an Request for Proposal
(RFP).
