Handover / Handback

Digitally document venue conditions before and after your event

The condition of a stadium or any type of venue before and after an event is critical, not just for operational clarity, but for legal and contractual assurance. Virtual Venue simplifies this entire process with a fully digital handover / handback reporting tool, built specifically for major events and infrastructure-heavy venues.

‍

Virtual Venue’s handover and handback module supports both sides of the venue transfer process: receiving the site from the venue owner before the event and returning it afterward. Through a structured, room-by-room inspection report, stakeholders can document the condition of all facilities, capture photos, track damages, and collect digital signatures to formalise the handover protocol, reducing disputes, improving clarity, and keeping everyone accountable.

Why digitising the handover and handback process matters

‍

Traditional venue handovers rely on printed checklists, inconsistent documentation, and disconnected email chains. Virtual Venue replaces this with a purpose-built, map-centric system that allows you to:

Create detailed, room-by-room inspection reports
Attach images, documents, and comments per space or facility
Collect on-site digital signatures to formalise agreements
Track damages, repairs, or temporary modifications
Export complete PDF reports and media archives for legal and operational reference

How Virtual Venue streamlines handover and handback

1. Room-level inspection and condition tracking

Build structured reports per room or area to record physical conditions, damages, or equipment placement before and after the event.

2. Fully digital documentation and signatures

Capture comments, photos, and files directly on-site. Use touchscreen signature fields to finalise handover on mobile without paper.

3. Custom checklists for each venue and event

Tailor the report format to each site’s requirements. Ensure all inspection items are consistent with the legal agreement.

4. Exportable reports with media and scope control

Generate a printable PDF version of the report, with options to customise the export scope for different roles. Download a ZIP file containing all attached media and documents for complete record-keeping or sharing.

5. Long-term data storage and traceability

All handover and handback records are archived with a timeline of responses, signatures, and attachments. Quickly revisit past venue transfers to settle disputes or compare site conditions across events.
