vs Calira (formerly Clustermarket)
LevelSixLabs vs Calira (formerly Clustermarket)
A focused equipment- and facility-booking platform, rebranded from Clustermarket.
The problem teams run into
Calira does booking well, and does more than schedule — it tracks maintenance and gates who can book on training status. What it doesn't cover is chemicals, SDS, COSHH and waste, so those live somewhere else entirely and nothing joins up.
Side by side
The capabilities labs ask about most when comparing the two.

| Maintenance & faults | Both track maintenance; Calira publishes contract and expiry reminders. | ||
| Training-gated access | Calira also restricts who can book by training status. | ||
| Chemical inventory & SDS | |||
| COSHH / risk assessments | |||
| Waste tracking |
Why teams switch to LevelSixLabs
- Keep the booking experience you expect, but stop paying separately for inventory and safety tools.
- The same training record that gates a booking also drives your COSHH and competency evidence.
- One compliance picture across bookings, chemicals and COSHH instead of disconnected systems.
