Roadmap · 2026–2027

What is coming to the products.

A short view of where DLBD Technologies is taking the software over the next 18 months, in the order it will reach customers. Dates are directional; we re-plan quarterly.

How to read this

Grouped the same way the products are.

What is shipping now, what is coming to Lab Operations, what is coming to Manufacturing Operations, and the Administrative Systems that are landing in 2027 as paid add-ons to the operational products. If a specific capability decides your evaluation, ask us where we actually are today.

2026 · in the product today

Shipping now

What customers are already running on.

Available
  • Covalent — migration as a feature

    The DLBD migration engine, built into every customer account. Moves your data off whatever you run today with the class of migration errors that make headlines in this industry designed out of the process itself, not merely tested against. A wedge on par with the compliance core.

  • Enterprise-grade sign-in

    Sign in the way your IT team already runs identity, with strong authentication enforceable across the whole organization.

  • Deviations, recurrence, and escalation

    A departure from an approved procedure is tracked as its own record. Repeat patterns surface themselves. Overdue actions climb the ladder you defined instead of quietly aging.

  • Controlled documents, actually controlled

    A single trusted revision of every SOP. Printed copies mark themselves so an uncontrolled one cannot pass for the current one, and every issued numbered copy is accounted for.

  • Stability studies and environmental monitoring

    Full study design through pull calendars and shelf-life projections; sampling points, cadence, and excursions that route themselves to the quality team.

  • Warehouse traceability that survives a recall

    Trace forward from a suspect received lot to every batch and shipment it touched, so a recall drill takes minutes instead of a week.

Next

Coming to Lab Operations

The build that decides contract-lab evaluations.

In flight
  • Instruments that stop making the analyst retype

    Results flow off the instrument, land on the sample, and stay tied to the raw file — no more copy-and-paste from an instrument screen.

  • A self-service client portal

    Clients submit work, watch it move, download certificates, and pay their invoice — without the status-email inbox that runs your day.

  • The notebook grown up

    Projects, folders, saved searches, dashboards, and an inventory link so a bench scientist finds what they need and debits the material they used from one screen.

Next

Coming to Manufacturing Operations

The build that closes the physical loop.

In flight
  • A quality-system console anyone can reconfigure

    A QA manager reshapes an approval chain, a document type, or a role catalog without waiting on the vendor.

  • A batch record that reviews itself first

    Routine completeness stops consuming release day; the reviewer sees the flagged steps and the exception context, not the whole record.

  • Warehouse that runs on the scanner

    A handheld flow that keeps working when the wireless drops, purchase-order matching at receipt, and pick lists that stage a batch without a spreadsheet.

  • A production board that plans against reality

    A short-horizon plan that knows what is actually on the shelf, what is on order, and who is qualified to run each step.

2027

Administrative Systems — paid add-ons to the operational products

The back office, plugged into the batch and the lot. Not sold standalone.

On the way
  • A single commercial customer

    One customer record shared by the lab, by sales, and by finance — the brand who buys manufacturing without ever sending a sample is the same customer everywhere.

  • Finance connected to the batch

    A ledger, invoicing, vendor bills matched against the exact receiving record, and a period close that does not depend on three exports.

  • Sell what you make, make what you sold

    A sales order that either draws from released stock or triggers the batch to make it — no phone call between sales and the floor.

  • People, projects, and the numbers to run them

    Employees, time and leave, method-development projects with a timesheet spine, and reporting that spans the whole operation.

Ongoing

Across the platform

Investments the whole suite inherits.

Ongoing
  • Independent security assurance

    A recognized attestation of our security controls in hand, on the timeline enterprise buyers expect.

  • A validation pack an auditor will accept

    The evidence a regulated buyer needs to qualify us as a vendor, kept current release over release.

  • Multi-site, without the second implementation

    A second site inherits the same controls, roles, and workflows instead of turning into a second project.

  • Bri.ai — DLBD’s own AI harness

    A custom-tuned model inside a bespoke harness, both DLBD’s own, built for this stack and for regulated work — not a chatbot with a lab-shaped skin. Two harnesses: the intelligence inside Covalent that makes the first pass of a migration, and the integration layer under every product that offers the next step inline. Zero data retention, nothing leaves the wire, never trained on your data, never on the signature path.

  • AI where it helps, not where it signs

    Draft assistance for audit preparation, batch review, and similar-issue lookups — the human still signs, and the record still explains itself. Every AI capability runs on a no-data-retention framework and dedicated infrastructure; your data stays yours and stays secret. Implementing AI into your workflow should not require sharing your secret sauce.

How we plan

A short set of rules the roadmap sits on.

One platform, not a portfolio

Every product on the roadmap builds on the same core. That is how a second product costs almost nothing to trust after the first one is in.

Standalone before suite

Every application on the list has to stand on its own. Nothing ships to force a customer into the rest of the suite.

The auditor is a user

A regulated feature is not done until the evidence it produces is easy to hand over.

What we say ships, ships

A capability slips before it ships half finished. If a specific one decides your evaluation, ask us where we actually are.

A note on dates

The wave windows above are directional. We re-plan quarterly against real customer signal — a wave will slip before we ship a half-finished version of it. If a wave decides your evaluation, ask us where we actually are today; we will tell you.
