Whether you need better equipment booking, easier maintenance management, or rich usage data to justify your next equipment purchase, Calira can help.
Build a structured, searchable directory of your lab equipment and enrich it with metadata, location information, and purchase price.
Make availability clear to lab users, let teams book shared instruments with confidence, and avoid double bookings.
Give your team the visibility and control to reduce idle time and maximise usage across shared equipment.
Prevent downtime through visible maintenance tracking, safer access, and smarter user controls.
Make confident decisions with clean usage data so you can see what's being used, what isn't, where, and why.
Turn lab usage data into a structured foundation: exportable, filterable, and ready for integration with your ELN, AI, or BI platforms.
Calira helps small LabOps teams manage equipment, avoid double bookings, and get more from their equipment with minimal effort and greater agility.
Calira gives enterprise lab organizations the control, visibility, and integration readiness to coordinate shared equipment and unlock structured usage data at scale.
Calira helps incubators and shared labs offer tenant-ready equipment booking and access tools, all managed in a single, straightforward platform.
Calira helps core facilities, research groups, and university departments manage shared instruments and support funding-linked projects and reporting.
You can add instruments one at a time (by entering the category, type, manufacturer and model), or upload many at once by downloading the multiple-equipment CSV template, populating it with your inventory, and importing it. Bulk upload is the fastest way to stand up a full lab inventory from an existing spreadsheet.
Yes. Each instrument in Calira has its own detail page where you can attach documents, images, safety information, and other metadata. This turns the software into a single source of truth, so SOPs, manuals, and safety sheets live alongside the equipment record rather than in scattered folders.
Yes. You can apply labels by function, location, or access group, making it straightforward for users to find the right instrument. Labels also make filtering and reporting more accurate as your inventory grows.
Yes. Calira supports parent-child equipment hierarchies. For example, an incubator registered as a parent with individual shelves as children, or a liquid handler with multiple decks. Users can then book just the subcomponent they need, which improves utilisation on shared assets.
Yes. You can set access rules at the individual user level or, more commonly, by creating groups that control which users can see and book specific instruments. Combined with the Training feature, you can also restrict booking to users who have been marked as trained on a given instrument.
Calira helps LabOps teams schedule, maintain and manage scientificequipment in one lab or many, without spreadsheets or guesswork.
