Help your team avoid scheduling clashes, see availability clearly, and book shared instruments with confidence.
Everyone can see what's available, where it's located, and if it's free (or not) to book.
Calendar integrations and email reminders keep everyone on track with what they've booked, when, and where.
Access groups and training-based rules increase compliance with booking policies.
Replace spreadsheets and uncertainty with a searchable, manageable directory of all your R&D equipment.
An easy, visual way to book equipment that keeps track of availability, reduces conflicts, and helps teams plan their work.
Make confident decisions with clean usage data so you can see what's being used, what isn't, where, and why.
Schedule and block off equipment for maintenance and calibration, assign tasks to contractors, and keep everyone in the loop.
Assign roles, invite new users, enforce training rules, and scale user access without losing oversight.
Keep everyone aligned and on time with booking reminders, maintenance alerts, calendar sync, and lab-wide announcements.
“We get an extremely granular view of how every piece of equipment is being used down to the exact minute.”
“Without it, we probably would have bought more kit than we really needed. Calira gave us the visibility to see where we could share or reallocate instead.”
“The most valuable aspect is the visibility among the users—knowing what’s available to book. From a LabOps perspective, it’s become our record management system for servicing, embedded into our SOPs.”
“Calira helped us improve our equipment usage and planning processes within our teams. It's also handy for me to have oversight of the utilization of our instruments.”
"Calira has improved the process of booking laboratory equipment in our R&D teams, created visibility across teams, improved insight into real time equipment status and allowed us to gather data for equipment usage with ease.”
"I haven't needed to log in in the last two weeks to sort anything out. Scheduling runs quite a lot smoother now."
Calira replaces shared calendars and spreadsheets with a single live booking system. Every user sees real-time availability for every instrument in their group, so double-booking isn't possible. Bookings are tied to access rules, so only users with the right permissions can reserve a given instrument.
Yes. You can set approval rules on specific instruments and for specific users so sensitive or high-demand equipment requires admin sign-off before a booking can be made, while routine instruments remain free to book instantly.
Yes. You can set usage schedules per access group or per user, specifying the days and hours when booking is allowed.
Yes. Users can end bookings early if they finish ahead of schedule, freeing the equipment for others. This is controlled by an admin setting and helps reduce held-but-unused time, a common driver of perceived booking conflicts.
Yes, with admin-configured limits.
We know that every lab is different. Our team has years of experience in the lab and can answer any question you have and demo the whole platform in less than thirty minutes.
