London, UK - October 9, 2008 - Phocas, a global provider of accessible business intelligence software today announces that its software, PHOCAS, has been adopted by Lab3 Ltd, suppliers of laboratory equipment, chemicals and consumables and one of the largest independent laboratory equipment servicing and calibration companies in the UK. Lab3 has installed phocas' software with the expectation that it will enable its employees to make better sales decisions, and significantly improve productivity.

Lestrene Huckfield, Sales Manager at Lab3 comments: "We are in the early stages of learning and we have our advanced training on Tuesday. Already it has pinpointed business that we can attack with vigour that has been lost due to many reasons. We have really needed a tool such as PHOCAS and are overwhelmed with what it can do for us. Without a doubt Phocas should pay for itself within 2-3 days of attacking business which has been highlighted!"

Lab3 were looking for a fresh approach to providing sales information to help grow their already successful business and wanted a provider that could demonstrate a good knowledge of the industry and a clear understanding of the sales challenges they faced. Having evaluated the available solutions, Lab3 decided that PHOCAS would fit their needs, especially as it is to deploy, simple to use and requires no set-up or ongoing maintenance. Lab3 are now in the early stages of learning how they can best use PHOCAS.

As PHOCAS provides clear customer and product trending, sales comparatives and management dashboards, Lab3 will now instantly understand not only how they are performing but also how their customers are performing, providing Lab3 with insight and clarity on how the company can improve business profitability and productivity. Lab3 will also no longer need to generate reports or analysis as PHOCAS will display all the required data at the touch of a button on a simple and self-explanatory screen.
