Mestrelab: scientific software from La Coruña managing global growth with Holded
Mestrelab, a scientific software company present in over 80 countries, shares how Holded was essential in their shift to remote work and international growth.
Mestrelab Research is a technology company based in La Coruña that specializes in developing software for analytical chemistry. Their products serve universities, pharmaceutical labs, and research centers in over 80 countries.
How did Mestrelab start, and what is your mission?
Mestrelab began as a spin-off from a research project at the University of Santiago de Compostela. We provide high-quality software tools for the scientific research community. We believe in ethical development, creating quality local employment, fostering creative work environments, and rewarding employees proportionally to expectations.
What role has Holded played in Mestrelab's evolution?
Holded has been indispensable during this stage of rapid adaptation to remote work. When we had to switch to working remotely overnight, having a cloud-based ERP allowed us to keep all administrative operations running without interruption. The transition was much smoother than we could have expected.
Which features do you use most on a daily basis?
Bank synchronization, Smart Scan, and the inbox, along with invoice importing, are the tools we use most every day. For a company with international clients like ours, having all invoicing and accounting centralized on a platform accessible from anywhere has been a fundamental shift in the way we work.
