Kommo — a CRM for healthcare, turned out to be a perfect fit for Aculabs.
Aculabs Inc. — a family-owned operated clinical laboratory that provides laboratory tests for a niche community, has been in business for 48 years. The healthcare organization has been using Kommo since 2018.
“Our client base is predominantly skilled nursing facilities, correctional facilities, assisted living rehabs and any place that doesn’t have their own in-house laboratory,” says Steven Penalver, the Director of Business Development at Aculabs.
Aculabs is located in a township of New Jersey and has regional laboratories. The organization is licensed in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware.
“Our mission is to provide the most accurate testing results and the most reliable services for our clients. Most of our clients are elderly patients, over 50 or 60, and they’re living in these facilities,” explains Steven, continuing, “So it’s important that the doctors, who are treating these patients get quick and accurate testing so they can make the most educated decision for the well-being of the residents.”
Aculabs is an ancillary service provider located in East Brunswick NJ. It specializes in providing diagnostic services to the long term care market.

“I found [Salesforce] to be very time-consuming. It wasn’t very easy to maneuver around and get around.”
Steven says, “I went out and started looking at several different CRMs. I tried a couple of them, and then I found your product.” During the Kommo free trial period, he highlights, “I was treated like a regular customer, not a trial account and I appreciated that. Kommo allowed me to really see if this was the right product for me.”“Kommo allowed me to really see if this was the right product for me.”
“I use tags because then I can filter down further in my emails.”
Steven illustrates an example of one such tag, ‘organization’: “I’m able to type in the search ‘organization’ and only those clients would pop up to give me a targeted view.” Once the lead contacts Steven, they automatically get pushed into the “Contacted” stage. “From ‘Contacted’ I either evaluate them or they evaluate me, and they either go to a ‘Follow up’ or not,” Steven explains. If the lead, for instance, doesn’t go to the “Follow up” stage, it gets pushed back to “Not interested — check back in 90 days.” Steven says that this is a reminder to reach out to his lost leads in 90 days. “If the lead is interested, I put them in the pipeline: ‘interested 30%’, ‘negotiated 60%’ and the next stage is ‘impending start day for the contract 90%’ and from there they go over to ‘Win’”.“I like the board view because I can see, I can move around, I can go up, I can go down, move the lead.”
Also, Steven points out to customization: “Another thing that I like about Kommo is that when you win a lead, you add a Tag, when you lose a lead, you add a Tag. You can set it up how you want — it’s very customizable.”“Another thing that I like about Kommo… You can set it up how you want — it’s very customizable.”

Steven shares his email marketing strategy: He sends out newsletters quarterly and an email blast out once a month to different clients, saying, “Hey, here we are. This is what we can do. I'd like to meet with you and talk to you about your lab services.” “So when we do our annual conferences, Director of Nursing show, Administrators show, a Healthcare show, I would use Mailchimp to say, ‘Hey, come see us at our booth.’ That has helped because people have come to the booth and brought their email.’“I think what we normally find with CRMs or any software is that it doesn’t customize to the business that you work in… Your software is very customizable. We’re able to change many things.”
