Revolutionizing Equipment Management at Video Pool Media Arts Centre with QReserve

Video Pool Media Arts Centre aims to inspire curiosity and creative expression through technological empowerment and open exploration in all media art forms, cultivating experimental artistic practices and accessibility to technology through presentation, production, distribution, and education.

At Video Pool Media Arts Centre, innovation isn't just a goal; it's a necessity. As the Technical Director, Eusebio Lopez-Aguilar understood the importance of managing equipment inventory and rental processes efficiently to support their mission of technological empowerment and artistic exploration.

Before adopting QReserve, VPMAC grappled with outdated, paper-based systems that led to errors, inefficiencies, and frustration among staff and members. Seeking a modern solution, Lopez-Aguilar explored various options until discovering QReserve, which he says, stood out for its intuitive interface and potential to address their specific needs. Now, QReserve has become the backbone of their operations, streamlining membership management, equipment requests, inventory tracking, and invoicing, resulting in improved productivity and workflow efficiency.

The impact was immediate. With QReserve, Lopez-Aguilar can effectively manage resources, track equipment status, and provide members with a seamless experience—all from a centralized platform. Moreover, the customer service provided by QReserve surpassed expectations, promptly addressing any challenges or suggestions for improvement. Our responsiveness and dedication further solidified VPMAC's confidence in our platform.

"QReserve is the backbone of our internal systems now. It handles requests for our members, as well as providing them information on the equipment, and it allows me to keep track of what is out, what is broken, what is paid for, and so many other metrics in a clean interface."
