Reading the Work

Making every handoff visible before samples reached the wrong queue

Axion Micro worked with laboratories that needed stronger visibility into sample movement from collection through intake, processing, exception review, and storage. Teams could scan packages, but they lacked a shared workflow for understanding chain-of-custody gaps and time-sensitive handoffs.

Wolfcrest & Co. designed a tracking experience that connected courier events, sample metadata, intake readiness, and exception notes. Lab coordinators could identify aging samples, confirm custody changes, and prioritize work before delays affected testing windows.

The new workflow helped Axion Micro demonstrate a clearer operational value story for regulated environments. Instead of only showing location data, the experience showed what each team needed to do next to protect sample integrity.
