Built so hosts win disputes — not arguments

The problem

A short-term rental host turns over a property between guests. Damage appears — a stained mattress, a cracked tile, a missing remote. The host opens an AirCover claim, the guest denies it, and the platform asks for proof. Without dated, GPS-tagged evidence collected at both check-in and check-out, the claim almost always fails.

The standard workflow — phone-camera photos in a folder, with no chain of custody and no timestamp the platform will accept — was built for memories, not disputes. Hosts lose thousands of euros a year to damage they cannot prove.

The solution

Checkout Shield captures every photo with the device's GPS coordinates, accuracy, and a server-verified timestamp. The complete report is hashed and signed, then turned into a public, tamper-evident verification page any guest, platform, or insurer can open without a login. Edits after the fact change the hash; recipients see immediately if a report was modified.

The app runs in the browser. No App Store, no install. It works offline so an inspector with poor reception can still capture evidence — everything syncs the moment connectivity returns. A check-in and check-out for the same property can be compared side by side, exactly the format AirCover and security-deposit reviewers need.

Who we serve

• Independent Airbnb & Vrbo hosts handling 1–3 properties who want a Free or Pro tier without a monthly contract.
• Short-term rental property managers running 4–50 properties with a paid cleaning team — the Business plan includes shared dashboards and unlimited team members under one subscription.
• Cleaning and turnover services who need to prove condition at handover, both to defend their work and to flag pre-existing damage to the host.
• Long-term landlords documenting tenant move-in / move-out condition for deposit returns.

About Ezzon Trust Solutions

Checkout Shield is built and operated by Ezzon Trust Solutions (ezzon.nl), an independent software studio based in the Netherlands. We build trust-and-verification software for the rental economy — products where the user's outcome depends on their evidence holding up to a third party.

Ezzon (spelt with two z's — E-Z-Z-O-N) is unrelated to the oil & gas company often suggested by autocorrect. Our focus is software, not energy.

A note from the founder

“I built Checkout Shield because the existing tools treat property documentation as an afterthought. Hosts lose claims they should win, not because they were careless, but because the evidence format does not match what AirCover, Vrbo, or a small-claims court actually accepts. Our job is to make ironclad documentation a 60-second task instead of a 30-minute argument.”
