At the centre of Spectra QEST’s Quality Platform is a highly specialised and centralised Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), QESTLab. This product has been commercially available for 10 years and has been continually refined and improved in accordance with customer needs. Spectra QEST’s current, innovative and unique solution, the QEST Quality Platform, integrates QESTLab with two recent developments, QESTField and Construction Hive. QESTField is a web-based real time data entry system that provides field staff on the construction site with instant, bi-directional access to the laboratory information management system and enables the instant creation of field testing and inspection reports. Construction Hive is an online collaboration platform providing applications for the efficient distribution and analysis of information relating to construction materials testing and inspection. The QEST Quality Platform affords substantial benefits to testing companies on large road projects.
Spectra QEST now has the opportunity to represent Australia as it competes with businesses from across the Asia Pacific region at the 2013 APICTA Awards in November. (http://www.apicta2013.com)
