What SysTek does

SysTek GmbH is a privately held German software company founded in 1988, headquartered in Detmold, Germany, that develops and supplies medical laboratory information systems and clinical communication software. The company's product portfolio centers on the proLAB™ brand, which comprises proLAB™ LIS (a laboratory information system formerly known as MultiLab, in development since 1993-1994), proLAB™ OCS (a Lis- and analyzer-independent middleware communication server enabling parallel operation of arbitrary laboratory analyzers with multiple LIS systems), proLAB™ GWS (a gateway service built on Mirth Connect supporting HL7, HL7 FHIR, DICOM, LDT 2.x/3.x, xDT/GDT/BDT, Edifact, SAP IS*H med, XML, JSON, CSV, and other formats), LABLIONS MDN (a web-based order-entry and result reporting module), and proLAB™ LDT eXplorer (a newly launched tool for viewing and validating LDT 3.x files, available as a free Community Edition). The technology stack is built on certified interoperability with Mirth Connect (certification MC00269) and SAP business partner status, and the company processes over 10,000 laboratory orders per day across its installed base.

SysTek serves medical laboratories (ambulatory and hospital), medical care centers, specialist physician practices, and integrated hospital networks in Germany, with named reference customers including Synlab, amedes, LADR Labor Dr. Kramer und Kollegen, DRK-Blutspendedienst West, MedLab Bochum, Labor im Westen, and several regional laboratories. The company operates a sales-led go-to-market model with direct customer engagement, consulting, implementation, training, and long-term maintenance support. Revenue is generated primarily through software licensing, subscriptions, and professional services, with a planned transition to a freemium-to-paid tier model for the LDT eXplorer. The company has 11-50 employees and is led by two managing directors, Reiner Neubert and Andreas Wörner, with no disclosed external investors or parent company.

Core offering

SysTek develops and sells proprietary medical laboratory informatics software, including a laboratory information system (proLAB LIS), analyzer-to-LIS middleware (proLAB OCS), a clinical communication gateway service based on Mirth Connect (proLAB GWS), web-based order entry/result reporting modules (LABLIONS MDN), and an LDT 3.x file viewer/validator (proLAB LDT eXplorer). The offerings are sold primarily to medical laboratories, hospitals, and healthcare networks in the German-speaking market, with implementation, consulting, and support services bundled alongside the software.

Product overview

SysTek GmbH offers a unified platform-plus-modules portfolio of medical laboratory information and management systems. The core product suite centers on proLAB™ — an integrated family comprising proLAB™ LIS (the central laboratory information system, formerly MultiLab), proLAB™ OCS (the middleware/communication server connecting laboratory analyzers to multiple LIS systems), and proLAB™ GWS (the gateway service for clinical message exchange based on Mirth Connect). These core products are complemented by LABLIONS MDN for web-based order entry and result reporting, and proLAB™ LDT eXplorer for viewing and validating LDT 3.x format files. The modular architecture enables labs to operate analyzer pools across multiple LIS systems simultaneously, while the gateway service handles HL7, FHIR, DICOM, LDT, and other healthcare message standards for comprehensive interoperability.
