Decreasing Data Management Time by 41% to Rapidly Scale Clean Milk Production

Technology Category	Platform as a Service (PaaS) - Data Management Platforms
Applicable Industries	Food & Beverage
Applicable Functions	Product Research & Development
Services	Cloud Planning, Design & Implementation Services
Challenge	TurtleTree Labs, a biotechnology company with a mission to create lab-produced milk, faced challenges as it grew. The company found it difficult to track and optimize processes in the lab through spreadsheets and emails. Without a centralized system for experimental data, the executive team couldn’t easily get an overview of research progress, making it difficult to set new goals and timelines. Additionally, R&D teams distributed across Singapore and Pakistan needed an easy way to share progress and results. Read More
About Customer	TurtleTree Labs is a biotechnology company with a mission to shape the future for dairy milk and infant nutrition production by creating milk in the lab. The company uses a proprietary, cell-based biotechnology method to reproduce milk components, which is too complex to do through traditional fermentation-based techniques. With enough scale, TurtleTree will be able to achieve resource efficiency and increase access to healthier, safer, reliable, and higher quality dairy products for consumers around the world. The company has offices in Singapore and Pakistan. Read More
Solution	TurtleTree Labs implemented Benchling, a robust, cloud-based data management system for accurate documentation and recording. With strong executive support, scientists quickly adopted Benchling in every part of their experiments. Clear leadership also helped rapidly build healthy processes around entering, sharing, and extracting data from the system to make informed decisions. What emerged was a culture where Benchling is one of the most essential tools for R&D, be that at the bench or the boardroom. For example, instead of using PowerPoint to communicate project progress and results in weekly meetings, TurtleTree uses Benchling. After the meetings, everyone can easily access all the results, Notebook entries, and samples that were discussed. Read More Log in to view content
