Cheqroom vs. Fiix

Fiix Keeps Machines Running. Cheqroom Keeps Shared Gear in Motion.

Fiix is a maintenance platform built for plant teams: work orders, preventive maintenance, and a tool crib. Cheqroom is built for equipment people share: booked ahead, checked out in a few scans, returned, and maintained on the same record.

TL;DR: The Quick Answer

Cheqroom is the Asset Operations Platform for teams that reserve, borrow, and return shared equipment, with reservations, checkout, and maintenance connected in one system. Fiix, a Rockwell Automation company, is a mature maintenance platform with a free plan, offline mobile, and a tool crib that checks tools out to people, but its pricing and features pages list no reservations or kits, and it’s priced per named user. If equipment has to be booked and available before the work starts, Cheqroom is built for that.

What Makes Cheqroom Different From Fiix?

Built for equipment that moves between people, not equipment that sits in a plant.

Fiix’s tool crib issues a tool to a user and checks it back in. Its pricing and features pages list no reservations, booking calendar, or kits. Cheqroom books ahead with real time availability, conflict prevention, and reusable kits, in a flow that borrowers who aren’t technicians can use on their own.

Many Borrowers, Few Admins

Fiix prices per named user, recommends a license for every technician, admin, and manager, and sells operator access as a paid add on. SSO and custom API integrations sit on its Enterprise plan at additional cost. Cheqroom prices per admin, with unlimited users and items and SSO on every plan, so hundreds of students, crew, or staff can borrow gear without adding to your bill.

Every Asset, Every Workflow, One Operating System

Built for the people who borrow equipment, not just the people who maintain it. Cheqroom brings order to equipment powered work. It coordinates physical assets, people, spaces, and maintenance in real time, so teams always know what’s available, what’s ready, who has it, what’s next, and what needs attention, that means approvals where you need them, custody tracked from checkout to return, Spotchecks, Work Orders, and signed PDF agreements, all connected in one system.

FAQs: Fiix vs. Cheqroom

  • Asset Operations (AssetOps) is the discipline of coordinating people, physical assets, spaces, and maintenance in real time so work keeps moving.

    AssetOps is not just about keeping a clean inventory list. It is the operating layer that turns disconnected tools into one connected operating ecosystem.

     It shifts the focus from simply tracking assets to ensuring the availability, control, and efficiency of specialized, high-value physical equipment, spaces or everyday essentials for teams, departments or full organizations. It's the operating system for physical assets and the people that use them.

  • No, you can have as many regular users as you need. This model is designed to empower your entire team to use the equipment they need without extra costs.

  • Only for part of the job. Fiix is a strong alternative for planned maintenance on production equipment. It isn’t an alternative for booking and lending shared equipment, because its pricing and features pages list no reservations or kits. Cheqroom is the Asset Operations Platform: reservations, checkout, and maintenance connected in one system.

  • Cheqroom. Shared equipment has to be available when the work starts, so Cheqroom coordinates assets, people, and time with real time availability, conflict prevention, and kits. Fiix is built to maintain assets, not to schedule who uses them.

  • Fiix supports tool checkout, but not reservations. Fiix’s tool crib checks tools out to a user and back in, from the Basic plan. Its pricing and features pages list no reservations, booking calendar, or kits. Cheqroom books ahead, bundles kits, and logs custody from the booking through the return.

  • Cheqroom does, and Fiix doesn’t. Fiix lists single sign on and custom API integrations on its Enterprise plan at additional cost. Cheqroom includes SSO and API access on every plan, so governance and integrations don’t depend on the most expensive tier.
