Lease to Buy

When using the Lease to Buy option, you’re purchasing WinLIMS and associated services in the same manner that most people purchase an automobile. You simply choose the length of the term (3 to 5 years), and all of the costs (both software and services) are rolled into a single monthly payment.

Time-Based Ownership of WinLIMS®

The advantage to the Lease to Buy approach is:

No immediate capital expense is incurred
Your accounting department can treat the payments as an expense (which has tax benefits)
At the end of the term, you own the perpetual software license

Why Lease to Buy?

The following is a list of benefits by using the Lease to Buy option to obtain WinLIMS®

100% Financing

Your lease can include the cost of software, training, installation, maintenance, sales tax, freight / shipping and other costs traditionally not included with bank financing. The best part is, at the end of the lease the software is yours for a $1 buyout!

Minimal Upfront Costs

No large down payments or cash deposits are required with your Lease to Buy financing. Your first and last payment is all that is needed to have your equipment delivered to you. This leaves funds available for other corporate needs.

Tax Advantages

When software is leased, most businesses can write off 100% of the monthly payment as an operating expense. Leasing also allows customers to pay for the software with pre-tax dollars rather than after-tax profits. Please consult your accountant about the tax treatment for your company.

End-of-Term Flexibility

Leasing gives you the option to take ownership of the software, upgrade it, extend your lease and even include the support and upgrade service payments during the life of the lease.

Customized Payments

Your lease payments can be structured to match the monthly cash flow of your business or the economic useful life of the software which, in WinLIMS case, has proven to be in excess of 13 years. Leasing also offers terms longer than other forms of financing, which results in lower monthly payments.

Avoid Becoming Obsolete

Support and Upgrade service provisions can be added to most leases. This protects your system by ensuring that fixes and updates are provided to you as they become available. This is a simple and cost-effective way to hedge against obsolescence.

Maximize Your Cash Flow

Leasing allows you to preserve your working capital and bank lines for other operating expenses.

By far the best team we’ve ever worked with. They truly understood what our needs were and completely nailed it. I would highly recommend QSI. You simply just won’t find any better team!

Rhodia

We have been working successfully with QSI's WinLIMS® in the fields of radiochemistry and environmental analysis for over 20 years. The WinLIMS® systems were individually configured for our processes, adapted to changed structures (merger of laboratories from different offices) and are subject to regular revision to new requirements (e.g. mobile working).

Project manager Markus Zips, Bavarian State Office for the Environment

After converting from a different system, I was impressed by the configurability of the WinLIMS software and the support we were able to receive from the QSI staff.

Jim Gerry, Castrol Lubricants

Special Pathogens Laboratory has been using WinLIMS by Quality Systems International for over 8 years. The flexibility of the system, and the support provided, allows us to keep up with ever changing client and operational demands. It is a dependable system that is easy to use and understand. Providing a solid foundation for a growing Laboratory.

Brian Verdi, Special Pathogens Laboratory, a Pace® Laboratory

WinLIMS® is great for managing many laboratory tasks. I manage multiple companies around the globe within my organization and the WinLIMS® multi-site feature works great. From receiving samples to managing test methods, entering test results, generating COA’s, it all works as expected. The interface is very easy to learn for the routine user, the power user and the administrators. I use the roles function throughout my entire organization and it’s a great way to restrict users to certain features depending on their role within the organization. The instrument interface is a plus: it transfers test result data from our test equipment into WinLIMS®. The database is very well designed and interfaces to our ERP system. Last, but not least, QSI has great and knowledgeable staff who are always willing to help.

Arturo Espejo, Quality Systems Analyst, MacDermid Alpha

WinLIMS® allows us maximum efficiency in daily laboratory work. The integration of different analysis devices and the direct import of analysis values by means of assignment to LIMS sample numbers make the paperless laboratory a reality. A great added value is the possibility of automated initialization of device calibrations and their evaluation.
Above all, it is the great flexibility in the design of the input masks, interfaces and specification documents such as certificates of analysis that characterize the product.
Not to forget the exemplary support and the short reaction times, which in the past enabled us to react quickly to changing market requirements.

Patrick von Arx, Head of Quality Control, PanGas AG

SCHAEFER KALK has been using WinLIMS® for quality control for over 6 years, now internationally at several locations. Already in the introductory phase, we were impressed by how quickly and professionally the QSI team understood and implemented our requirements. Throughout the entire period of our cooperation, the support from the QSI experts is fast, direct, personal and solution-oriented. WinLIMS® can be configured in many ways, is easy to operate for the user and is interfaced with a large number of laboratory devices and other applications in our IT landscape via interfaces. With WinLIMS®, we see ourselves perfectly up to the constantly changing laboratory tasks!

Udo Oestreich, Head of Quality Control, SCHAEFER KALK GmbH & Co.KG

With WinLIMS®, we document our laboratory tests reliably and in compliance with GxP: On the one hand, QSI also pays attention to maintaining the validated state, on the other hand, WinLIMS® is characterized by stable operation. QSI was able to set up the interface to our SAP S/4 HANA flexibly and provide it quickly. The cooperation with QSI was always cooperative and on an equal footing. Our contact persons had an open ear for questions and concerns, even at short notice.
