Today we are opening the beta for three new connectors that extend QuickBridge into laboratory management, hospital billing, and universal file export. If you run a clinic, a diagnostic lab, or simply need your synced data in a spreadsheet, one of these is built for you.
Why Healthcare, Why Now?
The majority of QuickBridge’s early adoption has come from hospitality — hotels and restaurants syncing POS sales into QuickBooks. But over the past year, a pattern emerged: the same accounting problems exist in healthcare, and they are arguably worse.
A mid-size hospital in Kampala might generate hundreds of patient bills per day across multiple branches. Each bill needs to land in the general ledger as an invoice or receipt. Lab orders from a diagnostic center need to reconcile against payments collected at the front desk. And all of this needs to happen without the accountant manually keying entries.
These three connectors address that gap directly.
Labyx — Laboratory Management, Synced
What it is: Labyx is a laboratory information management system (LIMS) used by diagnostic labs across East Africa and South Asia. It tracks test orders, client invoices, payments, and expenses — everything that eventually needs to reach the books.
What QuickBridge syncs:
| Resource | What It Contains | Sync Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Orders | Lab test orders with product and billing details | Incremental, by order date |
| Payments | Client payment receipts | Incremental, by payment date |
| Expenses | Business expenses and vendor payments | Incremental, by payment date |
| Invoices | Client invoices for services rendered | Incremental, by invoice date |
| Clients | Client master data — names, codes, contact info | Full sync |
How authentication works: Labyx uses session-based authentication. You provide your API key, username, and password. QuickBridge handles the login flow, session cookie management, and automatic re-authentication when sessions expire (typically after 30 minutes). There is also a fallback API-key-only mode for endpoints that support it.
What makes it interesting: Labyx exposes all its reports through a single API endpoint — the only thing that changes between orders and expenses is a ReportID parameter. Our connector normalizes these different report shapes into consistent blueprints (labyx:order, labyx:payment, labyx:expense, labyx:invoice, labyx:client) so your integration mappings stay clean regardless of the underlying API quirk.
Rate limiting: The connector enforces 2 requests per second with jitter to avoid hammering the Labyx API, with a ceiling of 30 requests per minute and automatic exponential backoff on failures.
InstaHMS — Hospital Billing at Branch Level
What it is: InstaHMS is a hospital management system widely deployed across East Africa. It handles patient registration, billing, receipts, and master data for multi-branch hospital networks.
What QuickBridge syncs:
| Resource | What It Contains | Sync Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Patients | Patient demographics and registration data | Incremental, by modification time |
| Bills | Finalized bills with charges and receipt context | Incremental, by finalization date |
| Receipts | Payment receipts flattened from finalized bills | Incremental, by receipt date |
| Hospital Master Data | Reference data — patient categories, salutations | Full sync |
| General Master Data | Lookup and reference records | Full sync |
Branch-level filtering: This is the feature we are most excited about. InstaHMS hospitals often operate multiple branches — one in Naguru, another in Jinja, a third on Buganda Road. With QuickBridge, you select exactly which branches to sync using a searchable multi-select picker. Only bills and receipts from your chosen centers flow into accounting. No more “why are Jinja invoices in the Kampala books?” conversations.
The branch picker is powered by a live lookup against your InstaHMS account. As you type, QuickBridge searches your available branches and shows them with their center codes. Selected branches appear as removable pills — add or remove a branch at any time and save.
Credential setup: You provide your Hospital ID, username, and password. Optionally, you can override the API URL if your InstaHMS instance runs on a custom endpoint. QuickBridge stores credentials encrypted at rest and never displays them in plaintext.
File Export — Your Data, as a Spreadsheet
Not every destination is an accounting API. Sometimes the accountant needs a CSV. Sometimes the auditor needs an Excel extract. Sometimes you just want a backup of what synced.
What it does: The File Export connector is a target connector — it sits on the receiving end of an integration. Pair it with any source (Labyx, InstaHMS, eZee, or anything else), and QuickBridge will write the synced data to CSV files organized by document type.
How files are organized:
exports/
{organisation}/
{integration}/
sales_receipt_2026-03-05T10-30-00.csv
invoice_2026-03-05T10-30-00.csv
payment_2026-03-05T10-30-00.csvEach file contains column headers derived from the synced record fields and one row per document. Files are uploaded to cloud storage and available for download from your QuickBridge dashboard.
No credentials required: The File connector has no authentication — it writes to QuickBridge-managed storage. Just create an integration, pick your source, pick “File Export” as the target, and data starts flowing on the next sync.
Why this matters: We have heard from several customers who use QuickBridge to sync into QuickBooks but also need a parallel export for their internal finance team or external auditors. Instead of building a separate export pipeline, you just add a second integration with the same source and the File Export target. Same data, two destinations, zero extra work.
What “Beta” Means
These connectors are live, functional, and running in production for early-access customers. Beta means:
- The core sync works. Data flows from source to target reliably, with retry logic and error handling.
- We are still tuning. Rate limits, batch sizes, and timeout values may be adjusted based on real-world usage patterns.
- Resource coverage will expand. Labyx and InstaHMS both expose additional data endpoints that we may add in future releases based on demand.
- Your feedback shapes the roadmap. If a specific report type or data field is missing for your use case, tell us. Beta connectors get prioritized iteration.
To request beta access, reach out through the contact page or ask your account manager directly.
What’s Next
We are actively working on connectors for additional healthcare and ERP systems across the region. The connector framework that powers these three beta releases — with manifest-driven schemas, built-in caching, automatic retries, and live lookup fields — means new connectors ship faster than ever.
If you run a system that generates financial data and want it in your accounting software without manual entry, we would love to hear from you.
Labyx, InstaHMS, and File Export are available in beta starting today. Existing QuickBridge customers can enable them from the Connections page in the control plane.
