Case Study: San Bernardino Valley College scales film equipment access and boosts enrollment with Cheqroom

San Bernardino Valley College saves 20+ hours weekly with CHEQROOM

San Bernardino Valley College, a public community college, faced a challenge in managing the high-end equipment for its film program, which operates on a philosophy of "maximum access." The manual tracking of hundreds of assets caused bottlenecks, a problem that was severely exacerbated by the pandemic, which threatened to halt hands-on learning. They needed a reliable, contactless system to keep gear circulating and maintain enrollment, leading them to implement Cheqroom.

The solution from Cheqroom was a mobile-first asset management platform that served as a central system for equipment and facility logistics. The implementation saved staff approximately 20 hours weekly, successfully tracked over 1,200 assets, and facilitated around 800 contactless check-outs per week. This operational resilience allowed the program to not only survive but thrive during the pandemic, directly correlating with increased enrollment while peer institutions faced declines.
