What is a CRM Integration?

CRM integration connects a laboratory’s Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system to its operational software—most crucially the LIMS—so customer data, test orders and results move in lockstep. The connection eliminates manual hand-offs, speeds quoting-to-cash cycles, and delivers the transparency modern clients expect. 

How Does CRM Integration Work? 

1. Order hand-off. When a quote is accepted in the CRM, a secure API call or webhook instantly creates the corresponding, bar-coded sample records inside the LIMS.
   

1. Bi-directional status sync. As samples progress, the LIMS automatically pushes milestones (received, in process, complete) back to the CRM, where account managers can view progress on customer-facing dashboards without sending status emails.
   

1. Result delivery & billing. Final, QA-approved reports flow straight to the CRM, triggering automated invoices and follow-up surveys.
   

1. Analytics loop. Integrated data feeds power real-time KPIs—turnaround times, margin by project, customer satisfaction—so leadership can act quickly.
   

Why Use CRM Integration & Why Does It Matter? 

• Delight customers with self-service visibility into order status and results.
  

• Reduce errors by eradicating copy-paste between commercial and scientific teams.
  

• Accelerate revenue—automatic result posting enables same-day invoicing.
  

• Boost productivity so staff focus on science, not spreadsheets.
