Missing gear? You’re not alone.

It’s a situation every equipment rental company knows too well.

The show’s over, the main gear is back… but a few XLR cables, a mic stand, an adapter or an extension cord are mysteriously missing. Small items, sure — but they cause big headaches.

Scenario 1:

An artist arrives for soundcheck. The team starts unpacking — and the one essential cable is missing. It never made it back from last weekend’s wedding gig. Now it’s a scramble: frustrated crew, rushed decisions, emergency trip to the nearest store.

Scenario 2:

After a corporate event, a stand is missing.

Technicians say they packed everything.

The driver says he loaded what he was given.

The client says nothing was left behind.

A week later, the restaurant calls: “We found some metal stand — is it yours?”

Lucky. Could’ve ended up in the trash.

These losses are small — but they add up.

Individually, it’s not a crisis. But over the course of a year? You’re losing thousands. And the worst part: you always find out at the worst possible time. A new event starts in an hour, and your kit is incomplete. Time to improvise.

Why does it happen?

• No proper tracking during checkout

• No one checks returns on-site

• Small items are ignored

• Rush, stress, and human error take over

👉 How Golova prevents this

• Every item is checked in and out using QR codes or RFID — gear is linked to a specific project

• The system instantly shows what’s missing when gear comes back

• You see exactly who packed and who received each kit

• Even small parts — cables, adapters, stands — are tracked just like the big stuff

• And with the mobile app, crews can verify the loadout right on-site and fix issues before they become problems

The result: visibility and peace of mind.

You always know what went out, what came back, and where something was lost.

Less stress. Fewer surprises. More control.
