Equipment checkout software
Simplify your checkout process using Cheqroom’s equipment checkout software and barcode scanning app
What is equipment checkout software?
Equipment checkout software is a type of software application designed to manage the process of checking out and tracking equipment within an organization. It is commonly used in settings such as universities, media production companies, sports facilities, rental companies, and businesses that use equipment for temporary purposes.
The equipment checkout software typically offers a centralized database where users can input and store information about various equipment items, including their descriptions, availability, condition, and any associated fees or rental terms. It allows staff members to efficiently manage equipment reservations, track the location of items, and monitor their availability in real-time.

When do I need Equipment Check Out Software?
Small businesses often start keeping track of equipment with pen and paper or in Excel sheets. This is a good start and helps structuring the checkout process. However, as soon as the business grows, so does the equipment count and the amount of users. It becomes increasingly harder to keep all information up-to-date. Not having real-time information can start to impact operations.
With equipment checkout software, you can track who is using your equipment. Avoid overlapping equipment bookings, ensure optimal rotation efficiency, and know when and whichever material is needed, all by scanning your equipment and analyzing the reports from a central database.
