Skedda Companion can now be pushed to every laptop through MDM for full presence data.

◆Current state
Skedda's last quarter has been about making the data it collects visible and usable: Occupancy Insights, multi-venue comparison, richer visit exports, a read-only API beta and a redesigned Visits page. Skedda Companion 1.2 now installs through Intune, Jamf, Kandji or any MDM and enrols users automatically, so check-ins can be verified from laptop presence without QR codes or hardware.
◆Where it's heading
Skedda is shifting from a booking front end to a source of workplace attendance data. Companion's MDM rollout aims at complete presence coverage, which makes the occupancy analytics and API more valuable as more laptops report in.
◆Prediction
Expect occupancy and presence data to reach the API, since Skedda said more API capabilities are planned and Companion now feeds richer attendance data.

◆Recent moves

    Skedda Companion updated to v1.2: auto-enroll users

    Companion 1.2 lets IT deploy through any MDM and enrol every user automatically, removing the opt-in gap in presence-based check-ins. It feeds the occupancy analytics push with data from every laptop rather than a volunteer subset.

    See visitor status and custom fields at a glance

    The Visits page now shows per-visit status counts and a visitor table with check-in times and custom-field answers, so admins no longer need an export to see them. It follows July's export rework and continues the pattern of bringing visitor data into the app.

    Build with the Skedda API

    ⚡ SPARK

    The first public API, read-only and limited to bookings for now, is the clearest sign of Skedda's shift from closed booking tool to data source. It gives outside tools access to the reporting work of the past quarter.

    Space type and Capacity filters

    Every booking view can now be filtered by space type and capacity. It's a practical finder upgrade for large venues and builds on the structured space attributes that the insights work also uses.

    Occupancy Insights

    A new Occupancy tab in Insights turns presence data into headcount trends and attendance by person or team, with exports for RTO reporting. It's the core reporting feature behind Skedda's move toward workplace analytics, limited to Plus and Premier plans.
