Our Story

Our History:

In 1999, WebCheckout was conceived and implemented specifically for the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Its purpose? To address the complex challenges of managing extensive equipment circulation and room scheduling operations across their sprawling campus. From this initial deployment, WebCheckout swiftly evolved, spreading its reach to encompass nearly 400 academic institutions worldwide. Today, it proudly stands as the undisputed market leader in equipment scheduling and resource management software, having revolutionized the way institutions handle their logistical needs.

WebCheckout pioneered the utilization of thin-client software architecture for large-scale, database-driven web applications. This innovative approach, coupled with the adoption of open-source operating systems and cost-effective Intel hardware, set new standards in efficiency and accessibility. As the years pass, the WebCheckout journey continues to unfold, with each dawn bringing fresh opportunities for growth and innovation.
