Part of the Mérieux NutriSciences group, Bioagri Ambiental, began as a division in 1995 and became its own company in 2002. Since then, it has grown rapidly, expanding its team and upgrading its equipment and operations. Today, Bioagri Ambiental is the market leader in its field.
Their Challenge
As Bioagri Ambiental experienced rapid growth, the company noticed that highly skilled professionals were spending valuable time manually typing Analysis Bulletins (BAs). This not only led to frequent typing errors but also caused delays in delivering results and issuing reviews, impacting overall efficiency.
Additionally, key areas of the company demanded faster, more agile processes for handling information and delivering results. As Bioagri expanded into new cities, it became essential for managers and executives to gain real-time access to critical data and performance indicators—empowering them to drive sustainable growth with confidence and precision.
Their volume of samples grew every day. "Growth was very fast. We increased from just over 4,000 samples per year in 2000 to 4,000 samples per month by 2005. Implementing a new system was essential to boost productivity and improve management," recalls Marcos Ceccatto, Technical Director.
After years of trying to develop a tailor-made solution, Bioagri decided to search the market for a supplier specialized in laboratory systems, which could, in a few months, implement a comprehensive solution to meet all of its needs.

The impact was clear from day one.
