Key Challenges in Forensics Laboratories
These are the operational, regulatory, and data-management pain points that labs in this industry face every day.
Maintaining an unbroken, legally defensible chain-of-custody from crime scene to courtroom
Preventing evidence cross-contamination through strict access controls and workflow segregation
Managing case backlogs with thousands of pending evidence items and court-mandated deadlines
