Customer

Challenge

The Customer needed an application to carry out fluids and substances chemical tests on the go and compile comprehensive reports. None of the available ready-made solutions were able to address all peculiarities of the business. So they decided to ScienceSoft, a provider of custom software development services, to build a tailored solution.

Solution

Once installed on the user’s PC or laptop, the chemical analysis solution connects to the Charm’s testing equipment through a wireless network.

• Backs up test results to the internal memory
• Exports information to Excel for more convenient analysis
• Composes and sends reports via e-mail or to printer

Results

The Customer received a chemical analysis application to carry out fluids and substances tests. The system functionality also allows users to edit personal settings as well as send reports via e-mail and print them out.
