The Problem
European dental laboratories — the workshops that fabricate crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, and orthodontic appliances — are drowning in manual, disconnected processes. The typical small dental lab (2-4 technicians, €200K annual revenue) tracks cases on paper, communicates with dentists via phone/fax, manages billing in Excel, and has zero integration between their CAD/CAM design tools and their business operations.
The result: lost cases, miscommunication on specs (wrong shade, wrong material), delayed invoicing, zero visibility into profitability per case type, and inability to scale. When a dentist sends a case to a lab, there's often no real-time tracking — it's like shipping a package without a tracking number. Labs regularly lose 5-10% of revenue to tracking errors, delayed billing, and communication failures.
Meanwhile, US labs have access to tools like GreatLab, LabStar, and DDX — but these are either US-focused, expensive, or don't handle European regulatory requirements (EU MDR traceability, CE marking, GDPR).
