About

Calira is an equipment booking and management platform for shared R&D lab equipment. It replaces the shared spreadsheets, Outlook calendars, paper signup sheets, and other improvised systems that most labs use to manage access to shared instruments. Labs use Calira to track instrument utilisation, improve asset visibility, reduce booking conflicts, prevent downtime, plan CapEx, and produce structured usage data. More than 1,800 labs in 53 countries run on Calira, including teams at Moderna, Takeda, Eli Lilly, Bayer, Novo Nordisk, Stanford, and MIT. Feature overview: - Equipment booking - Equipment management - Usage reporting - Maintenance tracking - User management - Notifications

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • We are pleased to announce the implementation of Clustermarket software in our laboratory. This innovative solution enables multiple workgroups to utilise shared equipment in a time-efficient manner, while ensuring the lab space is optimally allocated to specific groups. Scheduled room occupancy is shared and accessible for viewing at any time and from any location, facilitating convenient lab booking management.
  • Centralised platform Improved efficiency Enhanced collaboration Real-time availability & reporting User-friendly interface Strong customer support
  • 24/7 access from any computer to plan and assure needed equipment will be available. Every students or lab personnel know when equipment is available. No more losing an experiment because the plate had to sit too long before being read... Awesome customer service!
  • Easy to add new users. their roles and new instruments. New students learnt it very quickly. Really nice overview of the user current and future bookings. As an administrator, very nice overview of students booking and possibility to cancel them and/or book it for different time slot if there is a clash
  • This is a fantastic product that is easy to use and manage. The support team has consistently been prompt, helpful, and timely. Highly recommended!

Cons

  • Following a year of using the software, we are pleased to report that our experience of working with Clustermarket has been satisfactory.
  • I am genuinely struggling to think of any, though would love a dark mode!
  • A little tricky to learn to use but then it is so helpful
  • Booking range is 15 min, could be more flexible. Ideally it would be free of charge
  • None. I don't have any concerns or problems with the product or the service.

Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to set up and use. Love the ability to share with my staff. Multiple administrators is also a plus.
  • We have found this valuable in managing a shared meeting room amongst tenants. Making it easy for them to book and check when it is available for them to meet with their own clients.
  • Skedda is really easy to use which I feel is the best feature. Even those who are not great with technology, have no problems using the software. Its also very pleasing to the eye with a clean and simple feel and look!
  • Shows the courts that are booked that day when you log in. Very easy to set up & use. All our members manage to register with ease. Great features - like repeat bookings - which our members use a lot.
  • The free version lets you get up and running, booking multiple spaces and being able to plan ahead. Its so simple to use.
  • The system is excellent. It is super easy to use and has all features we require for our business. The customer service is top-notch, and their helpfulness and speed are brilliant.
  • We started using Skedda a few years ago to coordinate the use of our meeting rooms. Before using Skedda, it proved impossible to avoid double-bookings. Since implementing Skedda, our office is harmonious once again! The ability to manage our staff and their associated booking permissions is second to none. We thought the different rules we have in place might be beyond the capabilities of an online platform however, Skedda is *highly* customisable!
