Company

We build tools for people who'd rather be outside.

chckd was made for inspectors, facility managers, and field teams who spend more time filling out paperwork than doing the work they're actually good at.

The problem we set out to solve

Every day, thousands of inspection teams carry clipboards, take photos on their phones, and then spend hours at a desk formatting those photos into a report someone will actually read. The checklist gets done in 10 minutes. The report takes 3 hours. We thought that was backwards.

So we built chckd — a tool that turns the checklist itself into the report. Fill it out on any phone, tap submit, and a branded PDF lands in the client's inbox before the inspector leaves the parking lot. No reformatting. No chasing photos a week later. No generic form-tool look.

What we believe

  • Fieldwork deserves better tools. The people who maintain our buildings, inspect our infrastructure, and keep our facilities safe shouldn't have to fight with software to do their jobs.
  • Reports should look like they came from your team. Generic form outputs erode trust. Every chckd report carries your logo, your colors, and your standards.
  • Speed matters. When an inspector finishes a check, the report should already be on its way. Not "pending review in some dashboard."
  • Simplicity is a feature. If it takes a training session to learn, we haven't finished building it.

Where we are today

chckd is used across 42 countries by teams running safety audits, property inspections, quality checks, and compliance reports. We process thousands of submissions every month, and our users tell us the biggest thing we've given them back is time — time they used to spend formatting, filing, and chasing paperwork.

We're a small team based in Nairobi, building for the global field-work market. Every feature we ship starts with a question: does this save someone a trip back to their desk?

Our team

We're a small, focused team of engineers, designers, and operations people who've worked in field services, property management, and compliance. We've lived the problem we're solving — late nights reformatting inspection reports, chasing photos from team members, and explaining to clients why the report looks "a bit generic."

Before chckd, we built internal tools for inspection companies. Then we realized every team was solving the same problem independently. chckd is the tool we wished existed when we were in the field.

Our values

  • Ship weekly. We deploy every Friday. Small, tested increments. No big-bang releases.
  • Talk to users. Everyone does support. No feature ships without a conversation with someone who'll use it.
  • Write it down. Decisions, context, and rationale live in docs, not Slack threads.
  • Simple is hard. We delete features as often as we add them. Every screen earns its place.
