✨ BACKGROUND
Barentz France turns to CIKLab to streamline quality control after acquisitions
On the quality control side, the team was managing hundreds of control plans using a mix of disconnected tools (Excel, Word, ERP).

Barentz France was looking for a solution to:
Reduce administrative tasks
Easily manage all control plans
Automate CoA generation and lab purchase orders
Leverage analytical history data
