Water results a municipality can act on — and defend.
ErgoLIMS turns a water lab into a system of record: every sample traceable to the point it was drawn, every limit evaluated the moment a result lands, every certificate verifiable by the client who received it.
Droplets rising — drawn live in the browser, no two frames alike
A water report is only as good as what stands behind it
Results in spreadsheets. Collection details on paper that never reach the report. A coliform detection noticed a day late. When a client or an assessor asks how a number was produced, the honest answer takes hours to assemble — if it can be assembled at all.
Six things a water lab gets that a spreadsheet cannot give it
Each of these is a shipped capability, not a roadmap item.
Exceedances surface immediately, not at review
Every result is evaluated against its specification as it is entered. An arsenic or coliform breach flags on the spot and opens an out-of-specification investigation — before anyone drafts a report.
The sample carries its own provenance
Collection point, GPS coordinates, temperature at collection, chain-of-custody number and field blank ID are structured fields on the sample record — searchable, printable, auditable. Not free text in a remarks box.
Calculated parameters stop living in Excel
Link a formula to a method and analysts enter variables, not answers. ErgoLIMS computes the result server-side, applies significant figures and rounding, derives expanded measurement uncertainty, and logs the execution.
The certificate defends itself
Every COA carries a NABL ULR number allocated atomically — no gaps, no duplicates — and a QR code. A municipal client scans it and confirms the report is genuine and current; a revoked report says so.
Different clients, different limits, one method
IS 10500 is the default. Per-customer and per-product specifications override it, so the same pH method judges a municipal supply and an industrial effluent by their own criteria.
An out-of-calibration instrument cannot report
Calibration and preventive-maintenance schedules sit on every instrument. Once a due date passes, that instrument is locked out of result entry until calibration is recorded.
How a water sample moves through the system
The registration form — three steps, with the customer-committed date and the internal lab target kept as separate fields.
Three people in the lab, three different wins
See every sample's stage, who holds it and what is at SLA risk — on one board, live.
Walk into a NABL assessment with method validation, MU, CoC and audit trail already assembled.
Know revenue, turnaround and analyst utilisation without asking anyone to prepare a report.
Compliance a water assessor will recognise
ISO/IEC 17025:2017
Method validation, measurement uncertainty, chain of custody and review records held where assessors look for them.
NABL accreditation
ULR numbering on every report and a database-enforced audit trail behind every record.
IS 10500:2012
Drinking-water limits pre-loaded as editable defaults, overridable per client.
And you do not start from an empty system
Choose the water domain at setup and ErgoLIMS provisions the scaffolding for you — as editable templates, not a locked configuration. IS 10500:2012 limits arrive as editable defaults — review against your scope before first use.
