Has Evolution saved you time? "Tons. I can't quantify all of it, but I love having the ability to know where every case is at every moment. We save time utilizing production values from the system, we could not obtain prior." -Jarret Schwartz, Technics Dental Lab

Curious, what do you consider the most valuable portion of your lab software? (no matter which software you have)

David Nunnally, CDT ·
Jessica, It would be easier to say what's the least valuable portion. Come to think about it, that's not so easy either.....

None of the lab software available is very good for removables labs. Therefore the real question is what more could my accounting software do for me to help me track cases in the lab

Jason Killgo · Lab Tech, Marketing, Web
Best part: Auto reschedules every night and keeps things on track.
Worst part: Its not 100% web based and I don't like to remote in to my work computer to make changes.
New feature I would like: Ability to schedule cases by material type. Ex: Schedule by pressed ceramic shade so that we would waste less ingots by having all cases paired together that should be.
I could...See more -

the reporting capability of our software is the most important...and also the part that frustrates us the most! The ability to easily create custom reports quickly is something we will seek in our next purchase.

I originally just wanted this information for marketing purposes, thank you all for your replies. I am going to point out some things for ABS however: @Justin, you need a system that you can tailor to your lab and your processes (did you know they do that?); then you would have a system built just for removeable labs (with your steps, your turnaround, your departments, your techs, your products). @Jim,...See more

the most updated....duh! Or....am I not understanding this question?...duh?

Jessica Wesnofske · Sales & Marketing
Portion not version Sjaan, what's your favorite feature? CRM, productivity tracking, reporting, ability to receive cases digitally, scheduling, etc.

Sjaan Adema, CDT, TE · Owner
Just being able to use any portion of any software to help you getting it done! Especially for a small lab. Love my milling system software......hahhahaha

Nick Azar · Managing Director
First, I believe that not every software is made for every lab. Most labs are small and will only use the software for tracking and invoicing.
Others that are more business structured might consider the followings as most valuable portion of their lab software:
1. Reporting capabilities
2. Case tracking
3. Customer communication
4. Employee productivity -

Good stuff @Nick!

Elaine Whelan, CDP · President
Nick...we find that even the smallest labs are now effectively using the reporting capabilities, case tracking and customer communications available in our software, but only a few measure productivity. After the basics, they chose image scanning and electronic graphics as the next step forward.
-
Nick Azar · Managing Director
Thanks Elaine for your comments. You are right about few small labs measure productivity, and I find the main reason behind it is because softwares that track productivity seem to associate that with pay and therefore, it becomes very complex o set-up and manage for a small lab that would like to track productivity, but not use the software to pay employees. It would be very helpful if the software...See more

Nick, we have done this in our tablet app that tracks case item assignments, workflow, production timings, etc. This is a handier much less expensive method in comparison to the barcoded tracking that tends to the choice of the large labs.

Android based as well Elaine?
-
Elaine Whelan, CDP · President
Yes, this is browser based and for the Android, Apple IPad and Windows 8 tablets.
-
Aaron Hoffman · Part Owner (I'd rather be in the trenches than a suit)
is this a simple app from the download store or do you have to have other key software to enable the app from a laptop or other source?
-
Jessica Wesnofske · Sales & Marketing
Tech pay rates do not have to be set up in order to track productivity. Productivity has many other benefits, such as making sure you have the man power for the work load in your lab. ABS and Evolution can help any of your labs with this. We also not only have the most advanced case tracking that you mention, but now have the ability for the doctors to log-in through the labs website and check on basic...See more

Aaron, this is tied to the case items in the DentaLab for QuickBooks database, which are entered via the keyboard or via online prescriptions from the dental offices. lt is designed for use by the technicians for assignments and their progress and also for managers for monitoring and analysis.
