Werfen laboratory building

We designed and built a new platform to replace Werfen's legacy system for managing quality studies, validating reagent lots against defined acceptance criteria. The result: a full-stack solution built to scale across Werfen's global network of plants.

The Challenge

Werfen ran its quality study validation process on a no-code platform built by a previous vendor with limited product oversight. The tool suffered from performance issues and slow communication with the database, creating friction in day-to-day use.

The new platform also needed to work within Werfen's existing data model and database, infrastructure shaped by previous tooling and teams.

The Solution

Focused discovery

Werfen came in with a clear understanding of its own business needs. Discovery centered on translating that knowledge into product architecture.

A platform built to fit

The no-code environment was replaced with a full-stack solution, sized for the real volume and complexity of Werfen's quality validation process.

A design system of its own

A custom component library was built to match the logic of Werfen's business, with consistency and accessibility as core requirements from the start.

Built around legacy infrastructure

The new platform was integrated with Werfen's existing data model and database, adapting to it rather than replacing it outright.

Key Features

  • Improved performanceFaster communication with the database compared to the previous platform.
  • Business-driven UXWorkflows designed around the specific friction points of the quality validation process.
  • Custom component libraryA consistent, accessible design system built for the business.
  • Built to scale across plantsPiloted at the Barcelona facility, with architecture designed to extend across Werfen's network.

Impact

What was once a no-code tool built without a clear product vision has become a purpose-built platform engineered around Werfen's quality validation process.

Designed from the start to scale beyond a single site, the new system lays the foundation for a standardized approach to quality studies across Werfen's global network of plants.
