Get a standardized foundation for usage, access, and equipment metadata: exportable, filterable, and ready for integration with your ELN, dashboards, or BI tools.
Build a searchable registry of instruments with tags, purchase details, and access rules. Create clarity around what’s available and how it’s used.
Gather optional or mandatory data from lab users before, during, or after bookings through custom forms you can create yourself. Calibration records, HPLC setup requirements, incident reports, or whatever else you need - all stored centrally.
Use our REST API or native ELN integrations to push structured usage data into your existing systems.
Export bookings, access logs, and contextual fields like user, project, and cost. Enable clean inputs for downstream models and reporting.
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 captures usage against a structured schema—instrument, user, project, funding code, time, and booking metadata—so every booking becomes a clean, consistent data point. This structured foundation is ready to feed into BI dashboards, ELN/LIMS systems, or ML pipelines without cleanup work.
There are three main routes: CSV export from the Reports section for ad-hoc analysis, API access for live integration with internal systems, and Enterprise customers can also work with Calira on a custom BI layer.
Exports include user, lab, equipment, group, project, funding code, booking start/end/duration, booking status, and—where LabTrack is installed—actual start/end/duration times. Custom form responses are included alongside, giving you rich context rather than just timestamps.
Yes. Custom forms let you collect structured information from users before, during, or after a booking: calibration records, run parameters, incident reports, training confirmations, or anything else relevant to your lab.
Yes. Calira has native integrations with Benchling, RSpace, and eLabNext, and an API. Enterprise customers can also request a custom data dashboard.
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.
