Lab Information Management

OVERVIEW

Commodities testing and inspection are critical to ensuring the quality, safety, and compliance of goods in transit or storage. As industries globalize, the demand for transparent and standardized testing processes has increased, requiring automated systems that maintain accuracy and efficiency. In India, with diverse commodity handling at ports and logistics hubs, the need for robust digital transformation is more pertinent than ever.

From a CEO’s perspective, investing in intelligent testing systems ensures market credibility and consistent quality assurance. From a CTO’s viewpoint, building automated, cloud-native platforms minimizes manual errors and improves data integrity, streamlining the end-to-end inspection process.

At 18North, we develop comprehensive solutions for commodity testing and inspection, automating data capture, analysis, reporting, and certification. Our platforms integrate with logistics data, enable real-time sample tracking, and maintain compliance with industry standards, including NABL requirements.
