Cheqroom

Equipment Management

Pros

I value the QR code scan function because it removes the necessity for paperwork entirely. Navigating Cheqroom is much faster for me compared to using a spreadsheet. Moreover, it instantly updates all information, ensuring unparalleled precision.

Cons

The mobile software isn't as reliable as the desktop version. It can be buggy and randomly close. Additionally, it's annoying that the due date time always needs resetting.

OK product - poor customer service

Pros

When it was time to renew, we faced a price increase of over 240% without any notification. After deciding not to renew, I was told that retrieving our devices/data would be quite challenging. There is a strong possibility that they can't or won't export my data into an Excel file, meaning I could lose everything. This seems extremely unreasonable and not worth the risk!

Cons

You can't retrieve data if you choose not to renew.

My go-to equipment management platform.

Pros

Tagging all my equipment with asset tags has saved me a lot of time. When I'm in a hurry, I can easily use the mobile app to check equipment in or out. I also keep my invoices linked with the relevant equipment, so I never have to search for them. Since multiple people use our gear, the flagging feature is essential in our workflow to avoid having broken equipment on set. This feature prevents loss of time and motivation.

Cons

There are some UX/UI issues that could be improved, but once you're familiar with it, it works fine.

Easy to use

Pros

The mobile application and barcode reader are easy to navigate. Our team can reserve items in bulk or sets. Cheqroom serves as a handy repository for swift information retrieval.

Cons

For items needing frequent calibration, a workaround is to enter a warranty period. Adding a calibration date feature with reminders would be beneficial.

Simple, Effective and Easy to Use

Pros

While initially tedious to tag and input each equipment piece, Cheqroom simplified the process. We sought uncomplicated software with sufficient capabilities to justify our investment, and Cheqroom fulfills all our requirements.

Cons

Some features useful to our business are missing, like the ability to delete an item and requiring users to scan a barcode for checkout. However, I understand not every feature can be fulfilled for all businesses. The Cheqroom team has satisfactorily addressed my questions and requests.

Great app for keeping track of your tools

Pros

I love being able to track tools and have pictures, making it simple to select the tool for checkout.

Cons

Tracking the location of tools can be cumbersome. We created an "extra info" category to manage this, but adding a new location to this category isn't simple.

Cheqroom is a custom fit Musical Instrument checkout management.

Pros

Cheqroom has many advantages over other asset tracking solutions. The navigation is efficient and offers many ways to locate items, make reservations, checkouts, and generate reports. The reports and automated communications are very customizable with parameters that can pull information from item or contact details. Importing and exporting information is well-designed, and the SSO integration saves time from a management perspective.

Cons

Our only drawback is the cost. Cheqroom is cheaper than major competitors, but lesser services with fewer features exist.

review

Pros

Easy to use. I can track our tool inventory on a daily basis effortlessly.

Cons

Extending the checkout duration of a product could be simpler. Checking out inventory can sometimes be confusing on the app; it's easier on the computer since not all tools in inventory always appear.

Essential software!

Pros

It simplifies tracking all equipment checkouts, both past and present.

Cons

New features are added frequently, which is good, but sudden updates can disrupt our workflow during busy weeks, making adaptation difficult.

Affordable and easy to use equipment tracking app

Pros

Integration with Active Directory, QR codes, and the mobile app makes it easy for our staff to assist customers. The dashboard provides all the necessary information about the status of equipment, reservations, and loans. The ability to create kits is a plus, and automated and customized notifications save a lot of time and effort.

Cons

There's not much to dislike. However, setting up multiple business hours for different schedules would be useful to prevent restrictions on early reservations. Additionally, duplicate usernames in CHEQROOM can cause issues with AD updates, though this affects a small number of users and we have workarounds.
