Ahead of scheduling conflicts despite the limited equipment supply
Mike McLaughlin, associate producer, helps produce, shoot, and edit content and also manages the equipment inventory. Whistle Sports mainly uses CHEQROOM to reserve and rent video equipment for different projects within the company. Mike from Whistle Sports“By tagging each piece of gear, everything is taken into account and specific items of gear can be reserved without fear of overlapping with other projects.” “The calendar feature is my favorite, it gets us ahead of scheduling conflicts despite the limited equipment supply and enables us to take the necessary steps to outsource equipment when we need to.”
Saving money and an immeasurable amount of time
“CHEQROOM has allowed us to keep ahead of scheduling conflicts and to foresee issues down the pipeline. When we know we have 2 projects shooting at the same time, we are able to look at our budgets to see who can afford to rent gear, and give priority to the more important projects. This has saved us money by getting better deals on rentals instead of waiting until the last minute to find gear that we thought we had available.”CHEQROOM was huge in boosting team communication
“Before CHEQROOM we used Google Sheets to manage our gear, but to be able to search through our gear online and then know not only do we have 3 of this camera, but to be able to check the QR code on a sticker and know exactly which camera you are referring to was huge in boosting communication among our team.”
