Poplar Solutions, LLC developed and distributed information management software solutions for the banking and laboratory industries.


History

Poplar Solutions was founded in May 2010.[1] The company acquired and immediately integrated the holdings and management team of P-Wave, Inc., another Pennsylvania company that had been developing a scientific data management system (SDMS) called LabCORE since 2004.[2][3][4] Poplar created a new division of its company called "Labcore" to further develop the solution.

Sometime in early 2018, the website went down. While the company still shows active with the state of Pennsylvania (as of January 2019), it's not clear if the business is closed.
