Who we are
— and where we came from
LorisQ was born at Metroteka, an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration laboratory with more than 30 calibration methods across a wide range of physical parameters. Operating as an independent laboratory, it does not represent manufacturers of measuring equipment, software, or other products, and is recognized for the scope and diversity of its accredited calibration methods.
In addition to calibration, Metroteka performs GxP temperature qualifications and validations for the pharmaceutical industry, including temperature mapping of storage areas and transport validation of temperature‑sensitive products. The company is also active in professional education, providing metrology courses, Lean Six Sigma training, and quality management consulting.
From calibration to digitalization
Siniša Prugovečki, founder and CEO of Metroteka, began his career in astrophysics before moving into metrology. Over time, his focus shifted toward a practical question: how calibration services could be made more useful and less frustrating for the people who rely on measuring equipment in everyday work.
True digitalization, not just producing and storing PDF documents, emerged as the natural next step. This thinking ultimately led to the development of LorisQ.
Why existing solutions
were not enough
Before LorisQ, Metroteka developed an internal application, Metroteka‑Loris. Its original purpose was to speed up internal processes, especially the production of calibration certificates, and to make documents more easily accessible to clients.
While similar systems are now common, most of them share the same limitation: they primarily serve calibration laboratories, not the organizations that own and use the equipment. Users can download certificates or reports as PDFs, but their equipment data remains fragmented — spread across different portals, internal servers, spreadsheets, or paper archives.
As a result, information is disconnected, manual work increases, and the real value of calibration data is largely lost.
A different approach
LorisQ was designed as an open, equipment‑centric platform, not as an extension of a calibration laboratory.
As a user, you decide what goes into your database and manage that data yourself. You can receive certificates and reports from all your service providers (calibration laboratories, repair shops, or other external services) without forcing them to use your system or change their processes.
Equipment can be managed regardless of manufacturer, service provider, or calibration status.
What LorisQ enables
LorisQ combines structured equipment data with team‑based workflows. This makes it possible to move beyond document storage and start working with calibration results as data.
With LorisQ, you can:
- plan and manage recurring maintenance activities
- maintain complete, traceable instrument histories
- analyze trends and apply corrections where relevant
- improve measurement accuracy using real data
- rely on notifications and approvals instead of reminders and spreadsheets
LorisQ supports the digital transformation of measuring and test equipment management, grounded in practical laboratory work rather than generic software concepts.
