Aqualab Zuid

Each day, Aqualab Zuid receives a thousand water samples in their lab from the entire Southern-Netherlands region. More than sixty people are on the road with iPhones and iPads. They sync their planning and use the devices to scan bottles with the samples they take at various locations throughout their day. Aqualab relies on the versatility of the FileMaker Platform: Filemaker Go for the tablets in the field, FileMaker Pro and WebDirect in the office for planning and follow-up, and FileMaker Server for integration with their LIMS (Lab Information Management System).

Since 2015, ClickWorks is a trusted advisor for Aqualab Zuid. Together we built an ecosystem of smart apps for all aspects of water quality insurance.
