Relaso Healthcare & Diagnostics vs CrelioHealth
CrelioHealth is a purpose-built LIMS and the deeper laboratory system. Relaso is the better fit when your bottleneck is commercial — referral commissions, B2B lab billing, collection-centre routing, and GST books.
First, what CrelioHealth does well
CrelioHealth is a mature, India-hosted LIMS with end-to-end sample tracking, configurable report formats, analyser integrations, and patient and provider portals. If your constraint is laboratory operations — sample lifecycle, machine interfacing, accredited report formats — it is a stronger laboratory system than we are, and it is the right answer for a high-volume pathology operation.
Stay with CrelioHealth if your critical path is inside the lab: analyser interfacing, NABL-format reporting, and sample lifecycle at volume.

Where Relaso pulls ahead
Referral commissions that reconcile
Doctor and channel commissions are usually run on a spreadsheet beside the LIMS, and they are usually wrong. Relaso computes them per test and per referrer, accrues them to the ledger, and produces a payout statement you can defend.
Routing as a commercial event
When a sample moves from a collection centre to a processing lab or an outsourced partner, that is a transfer price, a margin, and often an inter-entity invoice. Relaso treats routing as an accounting event, not only a logistics one.
One set of books
Patient collections, institutional receivables, referral payouts, and consumable purchases all post to the same general ledger — instead of a LIMS on one side and Tally on the other, reconciled by hand each month.
Priced for a growing chain
Full-scope LIMS platforms are typically quoted in the tens of thousands of rupees per month. Relaso is per user with the healthcare add-on, which lets a growing chain get referral and billing discipline long before a LIMS budget exists.
What this means for your business
The switch looks different depending on what you actually run. Find yourself below.
If you run collection centres
Route samples to processing labs with transfer pricing, turnaround visibility, and inter-entity invoicing built in.
Lab & diagnostic routingIf you pay doctor referrals
Per-test commission rules, accrual to the ledger, and defensible payout statements per referrer.
Doctor referral & commissionsIf you bill hospitals & TPAs
Institutional credit billing, rate contracts, AR aging, and automated follow-up on overdue accounts.
GST & B2B invoicingIf you own analysers & equipment
Fixed asset register with depreciation schedules and AMC tracking against each instrument.
Asset managementIncluded on every plan
Capability that usually arrives as an enterprise upsell — or does not exist in this category at all.
AI that never sees your books
Ask "who owes me the most, 90 days overdue?" in plain English and get the answer from your own ledger. The model runs inside your browser — your financial data is never sent to OpenAI, to us, or to anyone else. Almost every other "AI" in this category is a cloud API your numbers get posted to.
Three-way match on every vendor bill
Purchase order, goods receipt, and vendor bill are matched line by line, and quantity or price variances are flagged before anything posts. This is the control that stops you paying for stock you never received — and it is normally an enterprise-ERP feature.
Approval rules you configure, not code
Set thresholds per document type — invoices, proposals, purchase requisitions, journal entries — and route anything above them to a named approver role. Nothing posts to the ledger until it clears the queue.
Stockouts and bottlenecks called early
Ninety days of sales velocity against current stock tells you which SKUs run out and when. On the shop floor, planned production orders are checked against raw-material availability so you learn about a shortage before the line stops.
DPDP-ready from day one
Consent capture, full data export, and account erasure are built in and self-serve, alongside two-factor authentication, scoped API keys, and an activity log covering every document. Indian customers are hosted in an Indian region.
Batch, expiry and channel pricing
Track manufactured and expiry dates per batch — essential for pharma, food, and diagnostics — and run different price lists per sales channel without maintaining separate item masters.
Your data, on demand
Take a full backup whenever you want, restore from one, or export every module to CSV. No support ticket, no export fee, no notice period. Leaving should be easy; we would rather you stayed because it works.
Quote to cash, in one system
Leads and proposals convert straight into invoices, recurring schedules handle retainers, and automated reminders chase what is overdue — with AR aging telling you who to call this morning.
What it costs
Published pricing, not a quote you have to ask for.
- Test order management
- PHI-encrypted patient profiles
- Referral commission engine
- GST & B2B billing
- Double-entry accounting
CrelioHealth publishes India LIMS plans in roughly the ₹10,000–₹50,000 per month range depending on tier, exclusive of GST.
We do not list their exact numbers here because vendors change pricing and we would rather send you to the source than quote a stale figure. Check CrelioHealth’s own pricing page, then compare the three-year total — licence, hosting, add-on modules, and implementation — not just the headline.
Moving from CrelioHealth
We import your test master, referrer list with commission rates, and institutional rate contracts from Excel. Because commission rules carry money, our onboarding team validates a month of historical payouts against your existing figures before you rely on them.
Questions people actually ask
Is Relaso a replacement for a LIMS?
Not for a high-volume pathology lab. If you need analyser interfacing and accredited report formats, CrelioHealth or another LIMS is the right core system. Relaso replaces the LIMS for smaller labs and collection-centre networks whose real problem is commercial, and sits alongside it for larger ones.
Can we run a LIMS and Relaso together?
Yes, and larger chains often do. Push completed orders into Relaso through our REST API so billing, referral commissions, and the ledger live in one place while the LIMS runs the bench.
How is patient data protected?
Patient identifiers are encrypted at rest, access is scoped by role and by centre, and every read of a patient record is written to an audit trail. Indian customers are hosted in an Indian region.
How are referral commissions calculated?
Per test or panel, per referrer, with rules for percentage or flat amounts, slabs, and exclusions. Commissions accrue to the ledger as they are earned, so your payout statement and your books agree.
What does this cost compared with a LIMS?
Relaso is per user per month plus the healthcare and commission add-ons — materially below published full-scope LIMS tiers. The trade is laboratory depth, which is why we are honest about where CrelioHealth is stronger.
