The UI is very intuitive and clearly designed for end users. It’s kept as simple as possible, so the application can be handled easily and without any specific training. The support and the ongoing roadmap are also very promising, and they seem to address customer needs and feedback well.

I find Calira incredibly useful for booking scientific equipment, managing financial cost reporting, and facilitating payments. It provides a clear real-time overview of equipment availability and location, which helps researchers plan their work efficiently. I like that it makes the status of instruments clear and includes specification details, saving time for users. Generating reports on research groups is a breeze, and it’s great for tracking financial returns from each instrument. It also helps to identify the most efficient users. Adding users and instruments is straightforward, and I appreciate how it streamlines usage hours to ensure fair access to lab equipment and prevent overuse. The platform is very straightforward and easy to set up; everything flows logically, and inviting or removing users is simple. Overall, I genuinely believe it’s the best platform for an online booking equipment calendar that I have used in many years. Customer support from Nathan is very professiona and efficient. The team provide rapid replies and related information to messages and queries sent to them.

Equipment booking, the lab dashboard and being able to send announcement to all lab users.
