Every Piece Of Gear Needs To Be Exactly Where It Should Be

Cheqroom is the asset operations platform built for broadcasters where equipment readiness isn't optional — it's air time. Full chain of custody, fault reporting from the field, and audit-ready logs so your ops team has complete visibility, every deployment, every time.

Dead Air Isn't An Option

In broadcast operations, the cost of a missing asset isn't the replacement value — it's the airtime, the crew standing around, and the client call that follows. Cheqroom gives broadcast ops leaders and field team leads a single, real-time picture of every asset across every studio, bureau, and deployment — who signed it out, what condition it left in, whether it's been cleared for the next job, and whether there's a fault on record that needs resolving before it goes back in a case. Every operation logged. Every handover signed. Nothing left to memory or a spreadsheet last updated three weeks ago.

Scheduling & conflict prevention

Plan Gear Like a Producer. Avoid Double-Books Like An Ops Pro.

  • Availability view to plan upcoming productions

Maintenance & deployment readiness

Flag It Fast. Pull It From Rotation. Track The Fix.

When gear gets damaged or fails in the field, crews can flag the issue with context in the moment. Flagged equipment can be kept out of availability, and teams can track repairs through a work-order workflow—so only ready gear goes back into circulation.

  • Mobile issue flagging with photos + notes
  • Prevent flagged gear from being scheduled until cleared
  • Convert issues into work orders and track status end-to-end

FAQ's

  • Cheqroom lets you manage facilities (like studios, control rooms, or OB vans) as bookable resources, so they’re scheduled in the same system as your gear for a unified view of availability. This helps eliminate double bookings—and you can reserve the space and assign the required kits (camera, comms, lighting, etc.) in the same workflow, so crews show up with everything lined up in one place

  • Cheqroom helps teams keep a clear custody history for every asset by tracking check-outs, returns, and long-term assignments in one system. Teams can capture proof-of-handoff (including signatures where required), and add condition notes, photos, and attachments to create a complete record that’s easy to review when questions come up.

  • Yes. Field crews can flag issues from the Cheqroom mobile app with photos and notes captured in the moment. Flagged gear can be kept out of availability so it doesn’t get scheduled again, and teams can convert the flag into a work order to track repairs from open to closed.

  • Cheqroom helps OB teams keep clean documentation across the equipment lifecycle—who has the gear, where it is (studio, OB van, or remote site), and what condition it’s in when it’s handed off or returned. Condition photos, signatures (when required), and service history stay tied to the asset record, giving teams a reliable paper trail for internal reviews and accountability.

  • Yes. Cheqroom supports SSO for centralized access control and has completed a SOC 2 Type II audit (Security & Availability). The SOC 2 report is available via Sales under NDA for vendor reviews and procurement processes.

  • Cheqroom helps teams prevent surprises by keeping equipment availability and status current across bookings, check-outs, and maintenance. If gear is flagged or under repair, it can be kept out of availability so it doesn’t get scheduled for the next shoot. Teams can also document inspections and service outcomes on the asset record, so readiness is verified before gear goes back into rotation.

  • Cheqroom is built for fast activation. Most teams are up and running with core workflows in days, not months, with a mobile-friendly experience that supports on-the-go work. Setup is intuitive and designed for real teams and real workflows. If you want a more white-glove approach, our consulting services can help you get there faster.
