LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Synthace Ltd, developers of Antha, the cloud-based software platform for automating and improving the success rate of biological processes, today announced it increased its annual recurring revenue by 225% compared to the previous financial year. The company also expanded its footprint across the top pharmaceutical companies, establishing relationships with four of the top ten companies across the world.
2020 was a landmark year for the global pharmaceutical and life sciences industry as the global pharma community looked to support global efforts to respond to the pandemic. With a greater recognition of the need to fully automate the execution of experiments in their labs and collate and analyze data more effectively, the adoption of Synthace’s automated lab platform rapidly accelerated.
This led to significant business momentum for Synthace; its automated lab solutions allow its growing number of customers to run far more complex experiments and automatically generate complete sets of raw and meta data so they can increase their competitiveness and accelerate innovation.
Business highlights for Synthace include:
- A greater than 225% increase in annual recurring revenue
- A greater than 80% expansion in annual recurring revenue with existing customers
- Multiple customers surpassing six-figure annual recurring revenues, with additional customers set to follow suit in the coming months
- The signing of five new, strategic go-to-market partnerships with lab equipment suppliers (Tecan, SPT Labtech, Repligen, Hamilton, and BioTek)
- The hosting of its second annual Beer, Bytes and Biology conference, which grew by over 185% compared to last year. The event hosted over 200 participants and included presentations by key industry luminaries on how they have automated their labs.
Synthace’s business success in the fiscal year 2021 was driven by the delivery of several new trusted protocols that leverage the Synthace platform and bring immediate benefits to the customer. Protocols are the basic building blocks of biological experimentation. Synthace’s trusted protocols are fully automated, highly flexible and optimized, generate fully contextualized data sets, and have been fully verified within its labs. These protocols provide huge value above and beyond the traditionally derived and rigid protocols that pharma companies develop internally.
The company’s key product deliverables in the fiscal year 2021 included:
- The release of the Miniaturized Purification protocol on Tecan instruments
- The release of the ELISA protocol, including support for Hamilton, SPT Labtech, and BioTek instruments
- The release of major upgrades to its Design of Experiments protocol
- Significantly expanding the capabilities of the Synthace platform to allow the running of experiments on multiple connected instruments to increase performance, reliability and walkaway time
- Simplification of the user experience and interface to dramatically decrease the level of expertise required to use the platform
The significant achievements of the last twelve months will support and strengthen the company’s mission to fully automate the biological lab, allow the capture of complete sets of raw and meta data for every experiment, and allow radically more complex experiments to be run as standard practice.
Tim Fell, CEO, Synthace, commented, “The pandemic has rapidly accelerated a move toward data-driven automated biology. In response, the global pharma community sought to digitally transform their enterprise operations. Synthace’s established leadership in this space has led to significant traction in the market, with new customers signing up and existing ones expanding their use of our offering to enhance their automation and data analysis capabilities. Looking ahead, we are confident our customer base will expand further as more organizations explore the complexity of biology through our advanced software and automation, so they can perform ever more complex experiments.
