According to a recent report, the Indian laboratory information management system (LIMS) market is projected to reach $1635.45 million by 2028. Cloud-based LIMS adoption is surging, enhancing accessibility and scalability while underscoring interoperability for seamless integration with diverse laboratory instruments and systems. “There are several laboratory information management systems that play an important role in the LIMS market. A myriad of laboratories and diagnostic cen­ters are planning for standardization; therefore, the glo­balization and standardization of LIMS is going to play a major role in driving the market growth”, says Kamal Kant Gupta, Founder and Managing Director of Busysoft Sys­tems.

However, the LIMS market also faces challenges such as high implementation costs, especially for smaller laboratories, ensuring data security and privacy in the cloud, customization to meet diverse laboratory needs, and interoperability challenges in integrating with various instruments and systems across different vendors. Balancing these trends and overcoming these challenges is crucial for the successful adoption and utilization of LIMS in modern laboratory environments. In this demanding landscape, Busysoft Systems stands out as a problem-solving solution, providing comprehensive software that automates Pathology Labs, X-ray, Ultrasound, and Diagnostic Centres, addressing the intricacies of modern laboratory environments and contributing to its seamless operation.

Ensuring an Impeccable Customer Presales & Post-sales Process

For the client engagement process, Busysoft Systems ensures an impeccable process, commencing with the distribution of detailed product introductory documentation and brochures. These materials comprehensively outline the extensive features already integrated into its commercial off-the-shelf software. The next step involves aligning the software version with the client's operational scale, categorized as small, middle, or large. Tailored demonstrations, either online or on-site, exhibit the software's capabilities in a domain-specific manner, such as Anatomic pathology, clinical microbiology, Clinical chemistry, Haematology, and Molecular diagnostics. An essential evaluation phase helps clients select the right modules. The subsequent installation and training phase, spanning several days, ensures that clients receive in-depth training tailored to their chosen modules, leading to customized software solution precisely aligned with its operational requisites.

Impactful Presence

“We began the product development in the year 1988. We developed the products in 1988-1989 for MS-DOS operating system”, says Kamal Kant. “We were successful in our business and shifted more into developing healthcare applications. Our focus completely shifted to healthcare in 1990 and we developed our software for healthcare, including other products such as Labmate (LIMS), Hospmate (HIS), and Docmate (Clinical Information System). Currently, around 70 percent of the company’s business transactions happen in the LIMS segment. In the last 10 years, Busysoft has added almost 20,000 Customers and has increased our sales by manyfold. We plan to expand our all- India geographical presence in the coming years. We have participated in large conferences and received good support through these conferences", he adds.

The future roadmap outlined in the discussion involves several strategic initiatives. The primary long-term goal is to establish a significant presence in the major cities across India, encompassing both Tier-1 and Tier-2 regions. “We aim to achieve a nationwide presence, enhancing product visibility and accessibility, particularly in regions like West, Central, South, and Northeast India. Additionally, the plan includes broadening the product's global reach by focusing on multilingual availability, targeting regions such as Asia, Africa, and South American countries, and emphasizing international marketing efforts for increased revenue”, speaks Kamal Kant Gupta. The next product development objective revolves around creating comprehensive, user-specific applications to enhance the existing software's appeal and functionality in cloud specific environment. All the modules of the application will be made available on Mobile as well as cloud platforms. The application's development emphasizes a patient-centric approach. It will provide continuous patient interaction with laboratory service providers. We are also participating in the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) of the Government of India to develop the backbone necessary to support the integrated digital health infrastructure of the country. It will help in sharing the laboratory results data across different healthcare ecosystems seamlessly.
