How to run your laboratory & diagnostics business with TheCEOApp
TheCEOApp team ·
A lab's income is in its tests, and its costs are in reagents and kits that expire. Knowing which tests were run today, who paid and which kits are nearly out of date is the whole game.
TheCEOApp records each test as a sale and watches your kits and reagents.
Each test, recorded
Add tests like full blood count, malaria or typhoid with their prices, and record each one as the patient pays.
Kits and reagents by expiry date
Each batch carries its expiry date and batch number, and you're warned 30 days before it expires.
Bookings and records
Patients book a time on your service pages, and their results history stays on their record, seen only by the owner and managers.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example test kit, sample bottle and glucose strips (pack), and services like full blood count, malaria parasite test and typhoid (widal) test. Suggestions for a laboratory & diagnostics come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the patient on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by tablet, strip, sachet, pack and bottle. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the patient wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. Each item can carry expiry dates on each batch and barcodes (scan to sell). You can record each product's batch number, so you know exactly what is on the shelf.
