Problem
Laboratories generate large volumes of equipment and sample data across disparate systems, making it difficult to track asset locations, monitor workflow bottlenecks, and maintain a unified view of operations. The lack of real‑time visibility leads to inefficient scheduling, delayed issue resolution, and reduced overall productivity.
Solution
Hopara offers a software platform that turns any smartphone into an indoor positioning device, delivering 1‑meter precision asset tracking without additional hardware. The platform aggregates data from LIMS, spreadsheets, and other sources into a single visual interface, allowing users to see asset movements, workflow status, and operational metrics in real time. Integrated actions enable users to create service tickets, book resources, and simulate scenarios directly from the dashboard, helping labs proactively address problems before they affect results. By visualizing the entire laboratory environment, Hopara supports data‑driven decision making and continuous workflow optimization.
Target Audience
Primary customers are research laboratories, biotech and pharmaceutical R&D facilities, and academic science labs that need to monitor equipment, samples, and workflow efficiency at scale.
