Your entire surface swab, from the sampling point to the signed report
Many points per visit, environmental microbiology on a deadline and a different acceptance criterion for every client. Gerencialab ties each point to its result without a swapped label, compares it against the limit you registered and takes sampling into the field even with no signal.
Who it is for
If your day is swabbing client surfaces from start to finish, you stop fighting a generic system. The kind that has no idea how many points come out of one visit, and lets the result come loose from the point that produced it. Gerencialab is built for those verifying hygiene effectiveness in the field, from the production bench to the hospital bed.
Food industry, on what HACCP demands.
Swabbing equipment, conveyor, utensils and contact surfaces to prove the sanitation prerequisite. Each point comes back evaluated against the criterion the self-control program defines.
Food service and restaurants, the way the regulation requires.
Hygiene verification of bench, board, chamber and handler on the required routine, with the point and the result tied together for the client's report.
Hospital environment, in favor of infection control.
Environmental surface monitoring in operating rooms, beds and critical areas, with pathogen testing when the infection-control protocol calls for it.
Recurring contracts that repeat on their own.
Periodic visits with recurring sampling already tied to the client's contract. The next round starts on the right date, with no point route to rebuild every time.
The swab is born tied to the container, right there at the sampling point.
Each surface becomes a labeled sample at the moment of collection, and the app records point, photo and condition even with no signal. When the phone is back online, everything syncs with nothing lost along the way.
- Barcode or QR label ties the surface to the container.
- Offline sampling records point, photo and condition in the field.
- Syncs when the signal returns, with no swapped point.
Hygiene criteria inside the system
Your analyst stops chasing limits in a spreadsheet and memorizing which client accepts what. You register the acceptance criteria your lab or the client's program uses as reference and Gerencialab compares every result against the right limit at the moment of entry. The screen shows what passed and what failed. The final call stays with your technical manager.
Counts compared against the limit you registered.
Aerobic mesophiles, coliforms or Enterobacteriaceae, fungi and yeasts: register the acceptance limit per parameter once, and every swab comes back evaluated against it.
Pathogen testing with a clear result.
When the point calls for Listeria or another environmental pathogen test, the result enters as detected or absent and is checked against the criterion the client defined.
Each client type on its own ruler.
Food industry, food service and hospital do not use the same criterion. Register each reference once and each point pulls the right ruler on its own.
The client report without rekeying results.
Data comes out structured and exportable (spreadsheet or PDF), ready for the hygiene verification report. Your team organizes the delivery from there, with no retyping.
The pains of running surface swabs
You swab in the field every day, so you know where it pinches. The system was designed around these points.
Dozens of points in one visit without the chaos.
A single visit generates point after point. Points come from the sampling route, each swab becomes a sample and labels print in batches, at the pace of the visit.
The point never comes loose from the result.
The swab carries the point's code from collection. The label ties the surface to the container, so the result returns to the right place with no swapped point.
Microbiology with deadlines controlled end to end.
Plate counts take days of incubation. The system tracks the sample from collection and keeps who did what and when, so you control each analysis within the time its method requires.
No-signal sampling no longer stalls your field work.
Industrial kitchens, cold rooms and hospital areas do not always have internet. The sampler records point, photo and condition on the phone offline and syncs when back online. Nothing is lost along the way.
How Gerencialab solves it
From the field sheet at the point to the report, with no rework in between.
The result tells you on the spot if it passed or failed.
On entry, each parameter is compared against that client's acceptance criterion and anything out is flagged right away. Less manual checking, fewer table-reading errors.
The sampling point stays tied to the right container.
A barcode or QR label links the collected surface to the container that reaches the lab. The result returns to the right point with no label swap mid-visit.
Sampling happens even with no internet at the point.
The app works offline, records point, surface, photo and condition in the field, and syncs later. Planned routes, registered points and visit notifications, including by WhatsApp for the sampler.
You know whether the sample is still within time.
The system tracks the swab from collection and keeps who did what and when. With that history, the lab controls each microbiology analysis within the time its method requires.
Your report comes out with the lab's identity, signed.
Configurable template with your header and footer, variables filled on their own, signature on the document and PDF generated on the spot. Each template version is controlled.
The plate reading comes back checked against the criterion, ready for the report.
Counts and pathogen testing such as Listeria enter and are compared against the hygiene criterion the lab registered. The system flags what passed and what failed, organizes the output, and your technical manager signs what goes to the client.
- Result compared against the criterion the lab registered as reference.
- Listeria and other pathogen testing as detected or absent.
- Structured, exportable output for the client report, signed by the technical manager.
Modules that matter most for surface hygiene
Everything in one system, no hidden add-ons.
Sampling and Logistics.
Your sampler heads out with route and schedule in hand and records each point in the offline app with GPS, with photo and surface condition, even at a place with no signal. Recurring visits come scheduled.
Samples.
Each swab enters with a barcode or QR label tying the point to the container and stays traced from intake to disposal. The point never comes loose from the result.
Laboratory and Analyses.
Environmental microbiology methods and parameters ready, the result reviewed before it leaves, and import from instruments and spreadsheets so no reading is retyped.
Quality Control.
QC aligned with ISO/IEC 17025, with reference materials and control evaluation, so you reach the audit with everything in place.
Reports and Templates.
Your report comes out in a configurable template, signed and as a PDF, with version control. Every hygiene report leaves standardized.
Finance.
Recurring contracts, billing per visit or per point and organized collection, all tied to the same sampling that generated the samples.
Frequently asked questions
Does Gerencialab come with acceptance criteria preloaded?
No. The system has a criteria registry where you record the acceptance limits per parameter and use them for automatic result evaluation. These criteria are defined by your lab or by the client's self-control program. During onboarding we help you build that registry.
How does the system keep the sampling point from coming loose from the result?
Each swab gets a barcode or QR label at the moment of collection, tying the surface to the container. The result returns to the right point from that label, with no risk of a swapped point.
Can I use different criteria for industry, food service and hospital?
Yes. Each client or program type pulls the ruler linked to it. You register each set of criteria once and the system applies the right one to each point.
How does sampling work where there is no internet signal?
The sampling app works offline. The sampler records point, surface, photo and condition in the field, and the system syncs everything when the phone is back online. Nothing is lost along the way.
Does the system control microbiology analysis deadlines?
The sample has a full history from collection, recording who did what and when. That gives the lab the time basis to control each analysis according to its method, even with the incubation days.
Does it import instrument results?
Yes, through import of results from instruments and spreadsheets. It is not real-time serial interfacing, it is import of the file generated by the instrument or the analyst's spreadsheet.
