Having been recently nominated as the ‘top laboratory automation solution provider’ in Europe for 2021, LifeBee is pleased to have been accredited for the excellence of its lab-based project delivery, such as a recent 10-week case study that handled conceptual design for a multinational pharmaceutical company. In essence, LifeBee focused on optimization of the entire lab, breathing new life into its processes, personnel, and material flows in order to ensure that each element was as streamlined, compliant but cost effective, and efficient as possible. With a core focus on personnel and lab layout, it considered that the lab would have to work well with being fully digitalized in accordance with GmP’s strict compliance rulings, resulting in the development of a dedicated and detailed implementation and transition plan, in full business continuity. Moreover, the Covid-19 disaster pushed it further into prominence when the digital paradigm fully took root as the new era of work for industries all across the corporate ecosystem. Life science was no different, having to implement remote work wherever possible that still functioned within the rules of strict compliance, meaning there was an increased need for exemplary and robust digitalized infrastructure and application portfolio with strong integration and procedural ease, allowing trained personnel to keep working. 4.0 pharma, in this manner, is a true leap also in Italy, with increasing numbers of successful remote projects and the development of long-lasting internet-based infrastructures and advanced technologies that work well result in a long-lasting perspective of evolution in continuous improvement.

LifeBee makes itself stand out from the market by not just being a digital company, nor a validations or compliance firm, nor just a lean consultant. Instead, it is three in one – with each of the aforementioned services forming a pivotal aspect of its operational model – and has developed each one of these to be a leading service that its clients can truly rely on, ensuring that each one compliments the other. In being such a one-stop-shop for its clients, LifeBee can reassure professionals in the life science industry that its consultancy will be able to help them with the innovation challenges they are currently facing, all made possible by its dedication to empathic, understanding, and diligent client interactions. The customer who it serves appreciates how this work enables them to step into the new digital paradigm with ease and sophistication.
