Adoption of ESdat's electronic Chain of Custody (eCoC) has accelerated significantly across our user base, and for good reason.

eCoC enables a streamlined digital lab sample submission workflow, reduces transcription errors, and gives your team real-time visibility over sample tracking from the field to the laboratory. Teams using eCoC report faster turnaround times and fewer data discrepancies.
A key driver of this growth has been our barcode integration with ALS, launched over a year ago. It marked a significant leap forward in the eCoC workflow. At the time, ALS shared:
"ALS is proud to continue its long-running partnership with ESdat Environmental Data Management Software. At ALS, we use state-of-the-art technologies and innovative methodologies to deliver the highest-quality testing services and personalized solutions. This is just one example of how we help our clients leverage the power of data-driven insights for a safer and healthier world."
That partnership continues to deliver results at scale. In April 2026 alone, ALS Australia processed 95 eCoCs representing thousands of samples, a clear signal that digital chain of custody is becoming the industry standard, not the exception.
If your organization hasn't made the switch yet, now's the time. Speak to your ESdat representative today to get started with eCoC and see the difference it makes to your team's efficiency and data integrity. Alternatively, Contact Us - ESdat.
