Company description

Benetech, since 1988, has focused on medical software development. The company’s expertise in software development in the insurance industry resulted in our being approached to create a prenatal screening program. Presented with other opportunities within the medical field we have expanded our software development to include new and innovative programs as well as consulting and custom development unique to the individual client. In addition to expanding our products based on suggestions and feedback from our clients, Benetech introduces custom pieces that would appeal to our target market based on our existing product line. Benetech has developed software to improve laboratory efficiency and productivity for North York General Hospital, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Toronto Hospital Genetic Repository. Software developed by Benetech is used worldwide. Our services reflect the most current concepts and practices in the industry. Considerable effort is spent regularly upgrading our products and technical skills to keep up with the latest trends in clinical practice. Benetech’s values are demonstrated by the dedicated service we deliver to our clients and the community, and by our commitment to integrity and to quality personal and professional development for our employees. The relationship we have with each of our clients is based on mutual trust and respect.
