Challenge

San Bernardino Valley College faced a significant challenge in managing its extensive inventory of around 1,200 items. With approximately 800 pieces of equipment checked out weekly, tracking and maintaining this inventory posed logistical issues. The college needed a solution that would efficiently manage the inflow and outflow of equipment, promptly update users, and ensure accountability for lost or damaged items.

The implementation of Cheqroom resulted in significant operational improvements for the university. The ability to track inventory with QR codes enabled precise accountability, allowing staff to quickly identify who last checked out an item and where it was used. This feature proved invaluable in managing instances of damage or loss, saving the college approximately 20 hours of manual tracking each week. Furthermore, the real-time updates offered by Cheqroom kept students and faculty informed about equipment availability, enhancing the overall user experience.

By adopting Cheqroom, San Bernardino Valley College not only optimized its inventory management but also fostered a more efficient and accountable environment for its staff and students.
