OnQ Software has been featured in the Australian Business Journal as one of the ’10 Australian SaaS Companies Defining the Future of Software in 2026′!
We’re proud to be recognised for our efforts to reshape how science is done with our flagship platform, QLIMS – Laboratory Information Management System, freeing researchers and lab managers from admin so they can focus on what really matters: science.
What started in Melbourne has grown into a platform trusted by laboratories across the world. Seeing that journey acknowledged means a lot to our team, and it motivates us to keep pushing boundaries for the lab of the future.
The Australian Business Journal writes:
“For most laboratories, the biggest obstacle to innovation is administration. From managing samples to tracking data across disconnected systems, inefficiency eats into the very time researchers should be spending on discovery. OnQ Software, an Australian-founded company now operating globally, addresses this gap.
Their flagship product, QLIMS, is a SaaS laboratory information management system designed to bring automation, integration, and reporting into a single, accessible platform. At its simplest, QLIMS reduces the reliance on manual, time-consuming processes, making it easier for scientists to manage workflows while ensuring data integrity and regulatory compliance. Its no-code configuration, API-driven integrations, and evolutionary architecture mean laboratories can adapt quickly as their needs change, without being locked into rigid systems.
OnQ Software’s origins trace back to founder Nick Gannoulis, who, as a research scientist at St Vincent’s Hospital, saw firsthand the inefficiencies of paper-based lab systems. That insight became the foundation for a platform now trusted by laboratories across industries from genomics to food science, from Melbourne to the Netherlands.
The OnQ Software team brings both scientific and technical expertise, positioning them to design tools that reflect real laboratory workflows. Their partnership with AWS as a qualified software partner underscores a commitment to security and scalability, while upcoming AI-powered features show a willingness to evolve with the industry. In a sector where outdated systems often slow progress, OnQ Software’s focus is clear: free scientists from administrative bottlenecks so they can focus on the science itself.”
