LASTRADA Laboratory Software – Where quality itself is the conception!

Quality is our clients‘ daily business. LASTRADA improves the quality, efficiency and productivity of the laboratory. LASTRADA has been serving the construction materials and geotechnical industry since 1996. Today, it is the leading Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) in the construction materials industry. LASTRADA has been developed in close co-operation with our customers. It integrates construction materials testing, mix design, quality management and all laboratory processes into one system.


Materials and Geotechnical Laboratories Independent test houses and laboratory networks of all size use LASTRADA as a fully featured LIMS: from the preparation of offers to invoicing and project analysis, including efficient testing and lab management. LASTRADA enables our clients to offer new services in order to strengthen the customer relationships: e.g. guest accounts for materials producers and mix design interfaces. Additionally, interfaces to the ERP system (e.g. SAP), accounting and testing equipment were installed. The number of LASTRADA users varies from one to more than 140. The implementation of LASTRADA brings strong benefits to our customers at laboratory level as well as at company level.

LASTRADA integrates reliable and efficient materials testing and laboratory management into one system. Thus LASTRADA is the ideal solution for test houses.
