Woburn, MA – August 21, 2025 – iSpecimen Inc. (NASDAQ: ISPC), an online marketplace for human biospecimens, today announced the successful completion of Milestone 1 in its digital transformation program powered by Salestack Solutions. This critical achievement marks the installation of the Salestack platform and provisioning of modern infrastructure—laying the foundation for accelerated innovation, operational efficiency, and long-term scalability.
Milestone 1 focused on enhancing the legacy iSpecimen Marketplace® infrastructure with Salestack’s next-generation, cloud-native architecture, expected to deliver immediate value through:
| ● | Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): built to be automated and a more secure and error-free infrastructure that replaces legacy manual processes. |
| ● | Unified Storage & Workflows: Centralized, scalable code management for all projects and services, reducing silos and technical debt. |
| ● | Future-Ready Foundation: One-click deployment, automated security, and seamless integration with AWS, GCP, and Azure. |
With this installation complete, the iSpecimen Marketplace® now operates on a modernized digital backbone that is designed to ensure reliability, scalability, and faster time-to-market.
“The successful completion of Milestone 1 is a major step forward in iSpecimen’s mission to create the most efficient and secure marketplace in our industry,” said Robert Lim, CEO of iSpecimen. “By leveraging Salestack’s advanced platform, we are working to future-proof our systems, eliminating long-standing inefficiencies, and preparing for the next phases of integration, customization, and automation.”
The completion of Milestone 1 is expected to provide several immediate and long-term benefits significant to the Company:
| 1. | Improved Reliability: Resilient, multi-cloud architecture reduces risk of outages and downtime. |
| 2. | Enhanced Security: Automated safeguards designed to eliminate vulnerabilities from manual provisioning. |
| 3. | Accelerated Innovation: Development cycles are faster, enabling quicker delivery of features to customers and stakeholders. |
This accomplishment positions iSpecimen to advance to Milestone 2 (Integration), which will focus on connecting all parts of the Company’s business to the Salestack platform to create end-to-end efficiency across operations, customer engagement, and data management.
“With Milestone 1 complete, we have implemented a robust and scalable platform that sets the stage for innovation,” continued Mr. Lim. “As we progress through the next milestones, we expect to unlock even greater efficiencies, enhance our marketplace capabilities, with the goal of creating significant long-term value for our shareholders, partners, and customers,” he concluded.
