RELMS , our scheduling system is in full swing and it has really helped streamline our billing. As of April 1st, RELMS was the platform that will be used for booking Quanta 600, Quanta 3D, Titan and Helios.

At this time masks are not required

And as always, we strive to treat all nationalities and ethnic backgrounds with respect and equity.
