Overview

The Sampling Solutions (TSS) is a startup offering outsourced accredited on-site sampling, measurements, inspections and audits to laboratories and other clients. Founded in 2020, TSS became the first non-laboratory in Europe accredited under ISO 17025 for sampling and in-situ measurements, enabling it to deliver accredited samples to any laboratory. Its core product couples a distributed network of more than 300 qualified samplers across Spain with a digital MVP that has digitized over 20,000 operations, geolocating points, attaching photos/videos and metadata, and cutting information delivery from 24 hours to minutes. TSS is developing a multi-device SaaS to standardize and manage field operations end-to-end; planned features include a Learning Center, intra-company service communities and additional automation. Financially, the company reports revenue has grown fivefold this year and it has opened a financing round of up to €600,000, with about 31% already committed primarily by original investors. Founders Eli Bosch (CEO) and Carlos Arias (CBO/International Development - R&D Director) emphasize digitalization as the central differentiation while maintaining the accredited field-service business. The Sampling Solutions (TSS) offers an end-to-end digital platform and operational service that externalizes, digitizes and provides full traceability for sample collection from request through delivery to laboratories. The company is accredited with the European ISO 17.025 standard, making it the first independent non-laboratory entity in Europe with that official recognition. TSS serves customers in environment, agro-food and veterinary sectors and plans near-term expansion into industrial, wellness-health and big data use cases while incorporating AI for demand prediction, route and resource optimization, contamination detection and early outbreak prediction. Operational metrics include a network of more than 250 samplers, over 5,000 samplings performed, a client base of more than 21 customers, and reported reductions in sampling management costs of up to 25%. The service has reduced typical response times from five days to 72 hours and emphasizes traceability and reduced manual-record errors through real-time digital records. The Sampling Solutions provides professional sample-collection services for the environmental, agri-food and hospital sectors. The company operates a platform and partners with laboratories including Control Microbiológico Bilacon (Tentamus group), PremiumLab and Quimlab to process samples. Its clients include Aquona Gestión de Aguas de Castilla (Suez group) and Global Omnium–Gamaser, and recent customer agreements have expanded its national operations. Founded in 2019 by Eli Bosch and based in Barcelona, the firm closed its first funding round of €260,000 to support growth. The proceeds will be used to accelerate platform development, strengthen the team and expand commercial efforts. The company is also pursuing ISO 17025 accreditation for testing drinking water, wastewater and treated waters and for in-situ measurements of pH, conductivity and temperature.
