  • We're moving our brand in a bold new direction to reflect how much we've changed as a company since we were founded
  • We're doing this because there has been a surge in demand from enterprise life science companies for tools that help improve R&D capital efficiency

Today, we’re excited to share some big news: Clustermarket has a new name and a new look. From today, we are Calira.

This change reflects how far we’ve come since we first launched our equipment booking software in 2019, and where we’re headed next. Our mission remains the same: to give R&D labs the tools they need to manage their equipment and lab operations more effectively.

Why the change?

When we founded the company, Clustermarket was a marketplace for equipment and services in scientific clusters (a UK-centric term). It was the sharing economy for the life sciences.

A lot has changed since then.

Today, we're a comprehensive equipment booking platform for LabOps professionals all around the world, covering every scale from startups to household-name level pharmaceutical giants like Takeda, Eli Lilly, Merck (MSD), and Bayer.

But it’s more than just lab equipment booking. We help lab managers and operations teams do six core things:

We've become a trusted partner for LabOps professionals, used by of tens of thousands of scientists in thousands of labs around the world every day, with more joining every month.

With more than 11+ million bookings made, Calira has become central to how teams plan, share, and report on their use of R&D equipment.

Our new name captures our focus on clarity and reliability, giving labs confidence that their operations are running smoothly so they can focus on everything else.

What’s changing, and what isn’t

Our name and our design have changed, but the platform you use every day remains the same. All your data, bookings, and integrations are safe and unchanged.

Here’s what is changing:

  • Our website has now changed from clustermarket.com to calira.co.
  • You’ll see the new Calira logo and design across the app, our marketing, and our communications.

Here's what isn't changing:

  • Our app is still at app.clustermarket.com, although we will update this in the near future.
  • Our mission and focus to support lab operations professionals.

For our customers, this won’t disrupt your work or your bookings. The platform will continue to run as usual, just with a new name and a clearer identity.

Looking ahead

The rebrand is more than just a superficial change. It’s the foundation for the next chapter of our growth, as we continue building tools that help labs become more efficient, scalable, and future-ready.

You can expect to hear from us more often about how we’re expanding the capabilities of our product, particularly in the direction of greater tools for data extraction, analysis, and artificial intelligence.

We’re excited to start this new journey as Calira, and we’d like to thank our community of users and partners for helping us get here.
