Who is Calira for?

Calira is for people who manage shared lab equipment in R&D environments, primarily in biotech and pharma.

Industries

Calira is for life science R&D in a variety of settings: biotech, pharma, contract research organisations, and academia. Academic institutions have access to the Core plan (please see our pricing and academia pricing pages respectively for details).

Roles

The people who typically champion, use, and manage Calira are:

  • Lab managers and facility managers: day-to-day owners of equipment scheduling, access control, and maintenance. They’re usually the first to feel the pain of shared calendars and spreadsheets.
  • Operations directors and VPs: need visibility across multiple labs or sites, utilisation data for reporting, and evidence of usage to support CapEx decisions.
  • R&D IT and project managers: care about integration with existing systems (SSO, ELN, LIMS), smooth rollout, and compliance.
  • Bench scientists: the end users who book equipment. They benefit from a clear calendar, fair access, fewer double-bookings, and greater confidence in experiment planning.

Lab types

Calira works across different lab setups:

    • Single-site labs: small or growing SMB R&D teams that need to professionalise scheduling.
    • Multi-site enterprises: organisations managing equipment across departments, buildings, or geographies.
    • Shared and incubator labs: multi-tenant facilities where different teams or companies share the same instruments.

If your team shares lab equipment and you’re still managing it with paper, calendars or spreadsheets, Calira is built for you.
