Challenge

MediaMonks encountered challenges in managing its expanding inventory of film and media equipment. Initially dependent on Google Calendar, the system soon became inundated with entries as the volume of equipment grew. Recognizing the need for a more sophisticated and effective solution, Ronnie, the equipment producer and camera assistant at MediaMonks, understood that a better system was essential.

Results

Cheqroom transformed Ronnie's previously chaotic gear room into an organized, efficient workspace at MediaMonks. The platform streamlined equipment tracking, eliminated double bookings, and answered the frequent question, "Who has the gear?" By categorizing items into 50-60 organized kits, Cheqroom made managing office-based and freelancer equipment simple and seamless. Its calendar view proved essential for project planning, providing clear insight into who needs what equipment and when.

With Cheqroom, MediaMonks improved their equipment management, optimizing resources and boosting operational efficiency.
