Calira helps small LabOps teams manage equipment, avoid double bookings, and get more from their equipment with minimal effort and greater agility.
Experiments are delayed when lab users turn up to use equipment that's already in use, delaying work.
Nobody knew it was there, or wasn't sure it was available to use when they needed it. So they didn't use it.
're lost to fixing scheduling conflicts & updating spreadsheets when your multitasking many other things.
A centralized calendar with color-coded views and real-time availability helps teams stay coordinated. No more clashes.
A clean, mobile-friendly interface plus calendar sync and reminders means anyone can use it. No training required.
Set up rules by user, group, or instrument. Prevent double-bookings and maintain fair access with minimal admin effort.
As your team, sites, or instruments grow, keep things moving by adding what you need, when you need it, into the same structure.
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."
Yes. Calira is used by small biotechs and growing R&D teams who need to professionalise scheduling without adding admin overhead. The platform replaces shared calendars and spreadsheets with a single live booking system, and scales up as the lab adds instruments, users, and sites.
Setup typically takes a few days to a week. Equipment can be added one at a time or in bulk via a CSV template, and users can be invited individually or via a shareable link tied to an access group.
Yes. Calira is designed to reduce admin burden rather than add to it. Users self-serve bookings through a mobile-friendly interface, booking rules stop conflicts automatically, and announcements handle communication at scale. Many small labs run the platform without a dedicated admin.
Yes. The same account structure supports adding new rooms, labs, and eventually full multi-site hierarchies without starting over. Growing labs often start on the Premium subscription and move to Enterprise when they need SSO, ELN integrations, and multi-lab rollups.
Not really; the interface is designed to be self-service. Users can book instruments, scan QR codes, and sync bookings to their personal calendar without training. For admins, we provide a knowledge centre and online guides.
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.
