Period

The problem isn’t doing the check. It’s knowing it was done.

Officers recognise these moments. They’re not dramatic failures. They’re the quiet gaps that accumulate.

Checks slip through

Unfinished items don’t always stay visible. When the month turns over, what’s still outstanding can get lost, and nobody’s sure what was actually left undone.

A tick isn’t much of a record

When someone asks who checked an item, when, and against which wording, a green cell in a sheet doesn’t help much.

Defects get found then forgotten

A failed item is noted during the round, then buried in last month’s history while the equipment stays broken.

Handovers lose context

The person taking over reconstructs the picture from emails, paper and half-updated lists, instead of seeing what’s still outstanding.

Operational picture

See what's slipping before it gets missed.

Due work, overdue checks, open defects and period progress, in one place, for the vessel you're running.

Anything not completed stays overdue until it's dealt with. It doesn't disappear because the calendar rolled into another month.

On the round

Scan. Check. Record. Next.

ChekLog makes proper record-keeping easy enough to happen during the round, not a laptop job after.

01

Scan equipment

Every asset has its own QR. Scan it and you go straight to that item’s checklist. No searching the app mid-round.

02

Perform the check

PASS, FAIL or N/A on your phone, with notes when something needs explaining.

03

Record the result

The inspection is saved with who did it, when, and the checklist wording used.

04

Scan the next item

Keep moving. Proper record-keeping becomes part of the round, not paperwork afterwards.

QR stickers

Print stickers that sit on the gear, not in a drawer.

ChekLog builds a label PDF sized for our recommended pre-cut sticker sheets. Load the sheet, print, peel, and stick one QR on each asset.

  • Each asset gets its own sticker, with a QR that opens the correct specific checklist.
  • Layouts match our recommended pre-cut sticker sheets, so the peels line up.
  • Print the PDF at Actual size, stick the labels on the gear, and scan on the round.

Evidence

When someone asks for the record, don't start hunting for it.

Those questions should have answers in one place, not scattered across sheets, paper and memory.

  • Who checked it?
  • When?
  • What failed?
  • Was a defect raised?
  • Which checklist was used?

ChekLog keeps the person, time, result, notes, checklist wording and any linked defect together on the inspection page.

Inspection history

Today's edit won't rewrite yesterday's inspection.

Completed inspections are frozen evidence, not a live document that drifts as you tweak templates.

  • Checklist wording as it was asked
  • Each response and overall result
  • Who performed the check
  • When it was completed
  • Notes and photos
  • Linked defects

The inspection tells you what was found. The defect tells you what still needs doing.

A FAIL still records the check. The defect stays visible until it's resolved. It doesn't vanish into historical records.

Crew finish the round with a clear result. Open defects remain on the operational picture so follow-up isn't left to memory or a buried note.

Setup

Don't build your equipment list from scratch.

Get started with pre-built templates for the gear you already recognise on board. Pick one and you get generic fields, a working checklist and schedule to tweak for your vessel's specifics.

Change the wording to match how your crew actually checks the gear. Treat the starters as a head start, then check them against your own procedures before you rely on them.

What you stop losing

Less uncertainty about the round, not just a faster tick-box.

Nothing quietly disappears

Incomplete checks remain due or overdue until they’re dealt with, not wiped by a new month.

Failed equipment stays visible

Defects stay open on the operational picture until someone resolves them.

Handovers keep the history

Incoming crew can see what’s outstanding, what failed, and what was already checked.

The evidence is already there

Who checked it, when, against what checklist, and what they found, without reconstructing the trail.

Stop wondering whether everything got checked.

Give your crew one place to see what's due, perform the check and keep the record.
