Contract lab portal for sponsors
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
A contract research lab takes study requests and sends results by email, sponsors in several countries ask the same status questions every week, and the lab's site does not look like the work it does.
// What we would build
A sponsor portal designed for your lab: sponsors submit requests, track their samples and studies, and download reports, with a help centre and an assistant that answers from it in the languages your sponsors use, handing anything about a study to your project managers.
// What is in it
- A portal and site designed around your lab's brand
- Study requests, sample shipments and status in one place for each sponsor
- Reports released by your team, downloaded by the sponsor
