About The Customer
TurtleTree Labs is a biotechnology company with a mission to shape the future for dairy milk and infant nutrition production by creating milk in the lab. The company uses a proprietary, cell-based biotechnology method to reproduce milk components, which is too complex to do through traditional fermentation-based techniques. With enough scale, TurtleTree will be able to achieve resource efficiency and increase access to healthier, safer, reliable, and higher quality dairy products for consumers around the world. The company has offices in Singapore and Pakistan.
The Challenge
TurtleTree Labs, a biotechnology company with a mission to create lab-produced milk, faced challenges as it grew. The company found it difficult to track and optimize processes in the lab through spreadsheets and emails. Without a centralized system for experimental data, the executive team couldn’t easily get an overview of research progress, making it difficult to set new goals and timelines. Additionally, R&D teams distributed across Singapore and Pakistan needed an easy way to share progress and results.
The Solution
TurtleTree Labs implemented Benchling, a robust, cloud-based data management system for accurate documentation and recording. With strong executive support, scientists quickly adopted Benchling in every part of their experiments. Clear leadership also helped rapidly build healthy processes around entering, sharing, and extracting data from the system to make informed decisions. What emerged was a culture where Benchling is one of the most essential tools for R&D, be that at the bench or the boardroom. For example, instead of using PowerPoint to communicate project progress and results in weekly meetings, TurtleTree uses Benchling. After the meetings, everyone can easily access all the results, Notebook entries, and samples that were discussed.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.

Temperature Monitoring for Restaurant Food Storage
When it came to implementing a solution, Mr. Nesbitt had an idea of what functionality that he wanted. Although not mandated by Health Canada, Mr. Nesbitt wanted to ensure quality control issues met the highest possible standards as part of his commitment to top-of-class food services. This wish list included an easy-to use temperature-monitoring system that could provide a visible display of the temperatures of all of his refrigerators and freezers, including historical information so that he could review the performance of his equipment. It also had to provide alert notification (but email alerts and SMS text message alerts) to alert key staff in the event that a cooling system was exceeding pre-set warning limits.
