Our verdict on Clustermarket
Clustermarket, now presented as Calira, is a cloud platform for research and LabOps teams managing shared scientific equipment. Its equipment directory, visual booking calendar, and usage controls suit labs that need to coordinate instrument access. Records can include documents, and teams can assign equipment locations or add records through bulk CSV upload. It is designed around equipment scheduling rather than general-purpose room or workforce scheduling, so labs with that narrower need are its clearest fit.
Booking rules can account for scheduling conditions and user training status, while conflict prevention helps manage competing reservations. Teams can reserve multiple instruments through workflows, and maintenance scheduling includes service contract expiry reminders. Usage reports and structured data export support reporting, and the equipment and booking API offers a way to connect the platform with other systems. Calendar integrations include Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and iCal-compatible services; ELN integrations include Benchling, SciSure, RSpace, and Essentim.
The plans distinguish academic institutions from industry. Core (Academia) includes the equipment directory, booking calendar, user invitations, and calendar sync; Premium (Academia) adds booking rules, AI workflows, data extraction, and maintenance tracking. Enterprise (Academia) adds ELN integrations, account hierarchy setup, live support, and SAML 2.0 SSO. Industry Premium adds customised reporting, maintenance scheduling, announcements, and notifications, while Enterprise adds SSO, ELN integrations, multi-lab hierarchy, training, and account setup. Pricing is contact-sales, with no free plan. Labs that need equipment-specific controls and maintenance features should consider it; teams seeking broader resource scheduling or a self-service free tier should look elsewhere.
