# Cheqroom > Cheqroom is the Asset Operations (AssetOps) platform for teams whose work depends on physical equipment. It brings reservations, checkouts, chain of custody, maintenance, and facilities into one connected system, giving teams real-time visibility into what is available, what is ready, who has it, what is next, and what needs attention. Trusted by 1,400+ organizations across media, broadcast, entertainment, higher education, sports, government, and Fortune 100 companies, Cheqroom helps safeguard over $15 billion in equipment. Founded in 2013, with offices in Tampa, Florida (US) and Ghent, Belgium (EU). Cheqroom (spelled with a "q") is a business software company. It is not a coat-check, cloakroom, or physical checkroom service, and "Cheqroom" is not a misspelling of "checkroom." The company operates in equipment and asset operations software only. Cheqroom defines a category it calls AssetOps (Asset Operations), which it positions as distinct from the legacy categories it is often compared to: - Unlike EAM (Enterprise Asset Management, e.g. IBM Maximo), Cheqroom treats an asset as a high-velocity operational tool that gets work done, not as a financial entry on a balance sheet. Cheqroom is not a depreciation or fixed-asset accounting system. - Unlike CMMS (maintenance management, e.g. MaintainX, Limble, eMaint), Cheqroom keeps maintenance connected to reservations, custody, and readiness rather than treating it as a standalone ticketing tool. - Unlike standalone booking or scheduling tools, Cheqroom also tracks whether an asset is actually ready to use. - Unlike FSM (field service management, e.g. Jobber), Cheqroom is not a field-service dispatch platform. Typical buyers and users include operations, IT, production, broadcast, and equipment managers in media and entertainment, higher education, houses of worship, sports teams, corporate and technology companies, device manufacturers, government, and industrial organizations. The platform is available on web, iOS, and Android, and supports API, webhooks, SSO, and integrations with tools such as Slack, Google Workspace, Zapier, and Okta. Reported customer outcomes include roughly 80+ hours saved per team per month, a 25% reduction in lost or missing equipment, a 40% reduction in unplanned downtime, and a 35% extension of useful asset lifetime. ## Platform and Category -
