Give your team a single, searchable view of your equipment: what it is, where it is, and who can use it.
Create a master directory of all your lab equipment. Searchable, filterable, and sortable by location, type, team, or status.
A shared calendar shows live availability and upcoming bookings. Optional access rules ensure researchers can only book what’s relevant to them.
Usage logs show who’s booked what and for how long. Filter by project, user, or time to support accountability 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 creates a single master directory of every instrument in your labs, searchable and filterable by location, type, team, or status. Combined with a shared booking calendar and usage reports, it gives ops, scientists, and leadership a consistent view of what exists, where it is, who can use it, and how it's being used.
You can assign equipment to specific rooms and labs, and create new rooms as your lab grows. This keeps the asset directory structured geographically—useful when scientists need to find the nearest available instrument or when managers are planning capacity by site.
Yes. You can create custom labels by function, location, access group, or any other dimension, and colour-code them. Labels appear on the equipment overview and details pages, so users can filter the directory by the terms that matter in your lab.
Yes. Each equipment record can hold attached documents (e.g. SOPs, manuals, safety data sheets, warranty certificates) alongside images and metadata. This makes the directory a single source of truth for everything about an instrument, not just its availability.
Calira supports multi-lab account hierarchies, so you can centrally manage equipment, users, and bookings across multiple sites while still giving each lab appropriate autonomy. Users see the instruments relevant to their access group; admins see the full cross-lab picture.
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.
