The panel's verdict
Skedda, Inc., a Delaware corporation, sells desk, room and parking booking on interactive floor plans, and the bench scored it strongest on check-in and rules and integration and administration, both a flat 7. Judges credited documented check-in (QR, email link, app, office Wi-Fi, Slack, Teams; grace periods of 5, 10 or 15 minutes; no-shows logged or auto-released) plus SAML 2.0 single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, signed webhooks and a booking API. Weakest is sovereignty, a flat 4: hosting runs on Microsoft Azure in the USA, with a published data processing agreement, Standard Contractual Clauses for EEA, UK and Swiss transfers and SOC 2 Type II, though we found no public information on EU hosting or an EU contracting entity. Hybrid coordination scored 3-4 — a who's-in list rather than a planner — and pricing transparency 5-6: Plus is public 'STARTING AT $249/mo' (35 spaces included) and Premier 'STARTING AT $349/mo' (45 spaces included), while we found no public price for extra spaces, the Enterprise tier or hardware. Spreads stay within a point, the flagged splits list is empty, and weighted totals run 5.4 to 6.3.
Speaks for it
- Desks, rooms and parking book on interactive maps the vendor builds at no extra cost from a CAD, PDF or hand-drawn layout, with two-way Outlook and Google sync and booking inside Teams (booking and floorplans: 6-7)
- Check-in is documented across QR, email link, app, office Wi-Fi, Slack and Teams, with grace periods of 5, 10 or 15 minutes and no-shows either logged or released — check-in and rules scored a flat 7
- Integration and administration also scored a flat 7: SAML 2.0 single sign-on with Okta, Entra ID, Google, JumpCloud and OneLogin, SCIM provisioning, signed webhooks and a booking-data API
- Occupancy analytics scored 6-7: Wi-Fi presence detection marks bookings 'Seen on-site' against booked figures, with retention configurable per data type and occupancy defaulting to one month
- A published trust chain — data processing agreement, Standard Contractual Clauses for EEA, UK and Swiss transfers, and SOC 2 Type II — accompanies the documented setup
Held against it
- Sovereignty scored a flat 4: the contracting entity is Skedda, Inc., a Delaware corporation, hosting on Microsoft Azure in the USA, and we found no public information on EU hosting or a European contracting entity
- Hybrid coordination scored 3-4 — a who's-in view surfaced in Slack and Teams — and we found no public information on a weekly office/home planner, favourite colleagues, booking next to a colleague or per-user visibility settings
- Both tiers are public, priced per space and billed annually, but we found no public price for spaces beyond the 35 (Plus) or 45 (Premier) included, for the Enterprise tier or for display hardware
- Occupancy tracking exports label each booking holder 'Seen on-site' or 'Not seen on-site', and we found no public information on minimum group sizes or anonymised reporting
- The documented languages are English, French and Spanish, and we found no public information on a German interface
Best for
- You need desks, meeting rooms and parking booked from one interactive map across several sites, with enforced no-show rules
- Your workplace runs on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and expects SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning and two-way calendar sync
- You need measured occupancy — Wi-Fi presence matched against bookings, with configurable retention — rather than booked-only figures
- US-hosted processing under a Delaware entity, with Standard Contractual Clauses and SOC 2 Type II published, passes your compliance review
Avoid if
- You need a hybrid-work planner — a weekly office/home planner, favourite colleagues, booking next to a colleague, per-user visibility — rather than booking plus a who's-in list
- Your works agreement or policy requires EU hosting or an EU contracting entity
- You must compute your full annual cost from public prices before talking to sales, since the rate beyond the included spaces and the Enterprise tier are not priced publicly
- Your works council has not agreed to per-person presence labelling in exported reports

Desk, room & parking booking
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What can be booked and how easily: desks, meeting rooms, parking spaces and other resources (lockers, equipment, EV chargers), interactive floor plans per site and floor, desk attributes (monitor, standing desk, accessibility), neighbourhoods and zones, hot and assigned desks, recurring and multi-day bookings, booking for colleagues and guests, room booking synced both ways with Microsoft 365 or Google calendars, room displays, booking from the web, mobile apps, Outlook, Microsoft Teams and Slack, and several languages.
0 — Books nothing for an organisation's own staff; a customer appointment tool or a facility system without self-service booking.
3 — Desks can be booked from a list or a simple plan in a web app; rooms, parking, mobile apps and calendar integration are basic or not described.
5 — Desks, rooms and parking on interactive floor plans for several sites and floors, desk attributes and assigned desks, recurring bookings, booking on behalf of colleagues, mobile apps, room bookings synced with Microsoft 365 or Google calendars, and booking from Microsoft Teams or Slack.
8 — Neighbourhoods and zones per team, an Outlook add-in that books a room and a desk together, room displays with check-in, guest and visitor bookings linked to the host's desk, resources such as lockers and EV chargers, floor plans imported from CAD or drawn in an editor, accessibility of the apps stated, and the product in German and other languages.
10 — Booking that runs a multi-country estate: every resource type above on one plan, wayfinding to the booked desk, booking from every channel with parity documented, catering and equipment with the room, and the accessibility of web and apps documented to WCAG 2.1 AA.
The Workplace Manager
Desks, rooms and parking are all bookable on interactive floor plans that the vendor's setup team builds from an architectural PDF, CAD drawing or even a hand-drawn sketch within a day, with desk attributes and amenity tags, office neighbourhoods per team, assigned spaces, repeat bookings, two-way Outlook and Google sync, and booking from Teams, Slack and native iOS/Android apps across sites — most of what I need for Cologne, Munich and Vienna. The languages documented are English, French and Spanish with no German listed, and we found no public information on wayfinding, lockers or EV chargers, or on the accessibility of the apps. 3 4 5 8 13 14
The People Lead
Desks, rooms and parking all book on interactive floor plans across multiple sites, with desk attributes and amenity tags, per-team neighbourhoods like Engineering and Marketing, floor plans imported from CAD or PDF by their own setup team, repeat bookings, mobile apps, and two-way Outlook and Google calendar sync with booking straight inside Microsoft Teams. The documented languages are English, French and Spanish — no German — and we found no public information on an Outlook add-in booking a room and desk together, guest bookings linked to the host's desk, lockers or EV chargers, or accessibility of the apps. 3 4 5 8 13 14
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Desks, rooms and parking all book from interactive floor plans across multiple sites, with neighbourhoods per team, desk attributes and amenity tags, assigned spaces on the top plan, and free conversion of a CAD, PDF or hand-drawn layout into a live map. Two-way Outlook and Google calendar sync, a Teams app that books straight from the map, Slack, and iOS and Android apps cover my channels, in English, French and Spanish. I found no public information on check-in from room displays, resources such as lockers or EV chargers, or an accessibility statement. 1 3 4 5 8 13 14
The Works Council Member
Desks, meeting rooms and parking all book from interactive floor plans with multi-site support, desk attributes and amenity tags, neighbourhoods with per-neighbourhood access rules, assigned spaces on the Premier tier, recurring bookings, a free service converting any CAD, PDF or sketch into an interactive map, and two-way Outlook and Google Calendar sync with booking inside Teams and Slack. We found no public information on a German interface — the languages named are English, French and Spanish — nor on app accessibility, lockers or EV chargers. 1 3 4 5 8 13 14
The Office Manager
Desks, rooms and our twelve parking spaces all book straight off interactive maps, with desk attributes, team neighbourhoods, individually assignable parking, two-way Outlook and Google sync and booking inside Teams — and the vendor turns any layout file into a live map, free, within about a day. What keeps it off the top band for a Leipzig office: we found no public information on a German interface (the pages name English, French and Spanish) or on accessibility of the apps, nor on booking lockers or chargers. 1 3 4 5 8 13 14
The Skeptic
Desks, rooms and parking book on interactive maps with attributes, amenity tags, neighbourhoods with per-area rules, assigned spaces, repeat bookings, two-way Outlook and Google sync, booking inside Teams, mobile apps and English, French and Spanish interfaces — the middle level is met and exceeded slightly by neighbourhoods and vendor-converted CAD floor plans. We found no public information on lockers or EV chargers as bookable resources, guest bookings linked to a host's desk, room-display check-in, or a stated accessibility standard, so the higher level's items are unproven. 3 4 5 8 13 14
Check-in, auto-release & booking rules
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the booking is kept honest and fair: check-in by app, QR code, NFC, room display, Wi-Fi or sensor, auto-release of desks and rooms nobody checked in to, booking rules per site, area or group (how far ahead, how many days a week, maximum duration), approvals for restricted areas, assigned and permanent desks with release when the owner is away, fair allocation of scarce parking (lottery, rotation, priority for disabled or EV drivers), capacity limits per floor, and notifications and reminders.
0 — No rules at all; any booking stands whether or not anyone arrives.
3 — A booking can be cancelled by the user; check-in, auto-release and booking rules are basic or not described.
5 — Check-in by app or QR code, automatic release of unconfirmed desk and room bookings after a set time, booking windows and limits per site or group, restricted areas for named groups, assigned desks that their owner can release, and reminders before the booking.
8 — Check-in by room display, NFC, Wi-Fi or occupancy sensor, rules per area and user group with approvals, fair parking allocation by lottery or rotation with priority spaces, capacity limits per floor, permanent desks released automatically during absence synced from the HR system, and the no-show logic documented.
10 — Rules that run themselves across an estate: every check-in method above, automatic desk assignment from team and attendance plans, policy changes rolled out per country with an audit trail, and no-show and release rates reported per site with the method stated.
The Workplace Manager
The no-show machinery is exactly what I want: check-in by web, app, email link, QR code, office Wi-Fi, Slack or Teams, a configurable window, grace periods of 5, 10 or 15 minutes, and no-shows either logged to the activity feed or automatically removed to free the space — all documented in detail, with passive Wi-Fi detection even checking people in as they arrive. Rules per area and per user tag with approvals, quotas, windows and buffer times apply to any part of the floor plan; we found no public information on fair parking allocation by lottery or rotation, capacity limits per floor, or assigned desks released automatically during absence. 4 13 15 19
The People Lead
Check-in is documented in genuine depth: QR code, email link, app, and passive Wi-Fi detection with auto check-in on arrival, grace periods of 5, 10 or 15 minutes, no-shows either logged or auto-released, quotas, booking windows, buffer times and approval workflows applied to any area of the floor plan, with reminders and assigned spaces on the Premier plan. We found no public information on NFC or room-display check-in, capacity limits per floor, lottery or rotation for scarce parking, or assigned desks released automatically during absence synced from an HR system. 4 13 14 15
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Check-in is documented in real depth: web, mobile app, email link, QR code, Slack, Teams and passive Wi-Fi detection, a configurable window up to 24 hours either side, grace periods of 5, 10 or 15 minutes, and a no-show action of log-only or automatic removal, with the first matching rule per user tag and space governing behaviour. Approvals, quotas, priority windows and buffer times apply to any area of the floor plan, and paid bookings are exempt from auto-removal. I found no public information on check-in from a room display, NFC, lottery-style parking allocation, or permanent desks released automatically when the owner is absent. 4 5 13 15
The Works Council Member
Check-in is documented in real depth — by web, mobile app, email link, QR code and automatically on office Wi-Fi with a matching public IP — with a configurable window up to 24 hours, grace periods of 5, 10 or 15 minutes, and a documented no-show choice between logging and releasing the space; booking windows, quotas, buffer times and approvals attach to any area of the plan, and a destructive rule must first pass through a log-only mode, which is roll-out discipline a works council can work with. We found no public information on NFC or room-display check-in, on lottery or rotation for scarce parking, per-floor capacity limits, or automatic release of permanent desks synced from HR data. 1 4 13 15
The Office Manager
Check-in works from the web, the mobile app, an email link, a QR code at the desk, Slack or Teams, or automatically over the office Wi-Fi, and an unchecked-in booking is either logged or released to free the space — windows, grace periods, exemptions and even a safe roll-out mode are documented. Booking windows, quotas, buffer times and approval workflows apply to any area of the plan and to tagged groups, and specific parking spaces can be assigned. We found no public information on a lottery or rotation to share scarce parking fairly, or on capacity limits per floor. 1 4 5 13 15
The Skeptic
The no-show logic is genuinely documented: check-in by QR, email link, app, Wi-Fi public-IP match, Slack and Teams, configurable windows, and on close either log-only or remove the booking — with a forced step back to log-only before a destructive rule change, which is more honesty than most vendors show. Area-level windows, quotas, buffer times, approvals and reminders are all evidenced; we found no public information on NFC or display check-in, fair parking allocation by lottery or rotation, per-floor capacity limits, or assigned desks released during absence synced from an HR system. 4 13 15 5
Hybrid work coordination
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How people plan office days together: a weekly view of who will be in the office, home office and absence, favourite colleagues and teams, team days and anchor days, booking next to colleagues, office events, attendance planning and office policies (for example two office days a week) with nudges rather than enforcement, the planner inside Microsoft Teams, Outlook or Slack, sync with absence and HR systems, and visibility settings so employees decide who sees their plans.
0 — No view of colleagues or office days; booking only.
3 — A list of who has booked a desk on a day; team planning, policies and visibility settings are basic or not described.
5 — A weekly planner of office, home and absence days, favourite colleagues and teams, booking a desk next to a colleague, team days, the planner in Microsoft Teams or Slack, notifications when colleagues plan to come in, and a visibility setting per user.
8 — Anchor days and office policies per team with nudges, office events and invitations, sync with absence and HR systems, recommendations of the best office day for a team, delegation for assistants, and visibility and privacy options documented for employees and admins.
10 — Coordination that changes behaviour and is measured: team plans that book desks and rooms automatically, policy adherence shown only in aggregate, works council-ready configuration documented, and the effect on office attendance reported with the method stated.
The Workplace Manager
There is a genuine who's-in view — employees can see which colleagues will be in ahead of time, with Slack and Teams reports and check-in reminders — but that is the extent of it. We found no public information on a weekly office/home/absence planner, favourite colleagues, booking next to a colleague, anchor days or office-day policies with nudges, per-user visibility settings, or sync with absence and HR systems. 3 8 13 17
The People Lead
Employees can see who will be in the office ahead of time, and who's-in reports reach Slack and Microsoft Teams with reminders — the core of what my people ask for before commuting. But we found no public information on a weekly office/home/absence planner, favourite colleagues, booking a desk next to a specific person, team or anchor days, attendance policies delivered as nudges, absence or HR sync, or a per-employee visibility setting, which is exactly the piece my works council would ask about. 3 13 17
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Employees can see who will be in before they book, the Slack and Teams apps surface who's in with reminders, and Wi-Fi-based presence verifies who actually arrived, with a hybrid-work guide covering neighbourhoods. Beyond that we found no public information on a weekly office, home and absence planner, favourite colleagues, team or anchor days with nudges, or per-user visibility settings. 3 8 13 17
The Works Council Member
The captured pages show who-is-in reports in Slack and Teams and a guide saying employees can see which coworkers will be in ahead of time, plus an account-wide private option restricting the schedule to invited, logged-in users. We found no public information on a weekly office, home and absence planner, favourite colleagues, team or anchor days, office-day policies with nudges, or a per-user visibility setting — the last being the question our works agreement would turn on. 3 8 13 17
The Office Manager
There is a genuine who's-in view — in the app and surfaced in Slack and Teams — alongside check-in reminders and an option to make the whole account private. Beyond that we found no public information on a weekly office/home planner, favourite colleagues, booking next to a colleague, team or anchor days with nudges, or a per-user visibility setting, so this reads as a booking tool with a colleague list rather than a coordination planner. 3 8 13 17
The Skeptic
What the pages show is a who's-in view ahead of time, surfaced in Teams and Slack channels — a list of who will be in, not planning. We found no public information on favourite colleagues, team or anchor days, booking next to a colleague, office-day policies with nudges, absence or HR sync, or a per-user visibility setting; the only privacy option documented is account-wide schedule hiding. 17 3 8 13
Occupancy analytics & employee privacy
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What the data is worth for a real estate decision and how it treats the people it measures: utilisation per desk, room, zone, floor and site, booked against checked-in or measured use, peak days and times, no-show rates, room size against meeting size, occupancy sensors, badge, Wi-Fi or people counting data, scenario planning for consolidation, scheduled reports and export to Excel or BI tools, and on the other side aggregation, anonymisation and minimum group sizes, configurable retention and deletion of booking records, role-based access to personal data, and documentation a works council or data protection officer can work with.
0 — No reports of any kind; only the current bookings are shown.
3 — Booking counts or a utilisation chart per site; check-in data, export, retention and anonymisation are basic or not described.
5 — Utilisation per desk, room, floor and site over time, booked against checked-in use, no-show rates, peak days, CSV or Excel export, a retention period for booking data stated or configurable, and reports that can be limited to aggregates.
8 — Occupancy sensors or badge and Wi-Fi data combined with bookings, room size against attendance, scenario or consolidation planning, a BI connector or analytics API, anonymised reports with minimum group sizes, role-based access to personal booking data, deletion periods per data type, and material for a works council agreement published.
10 — Evidence a portfolio decision can rest on: measured and booked occupancy reconciled with the method stated, data quality and sensor accuracy documented, raw data exportable in an open format, privacy by design documented down to field level, and a sample works council agreement or DPIA published.
The Workplace Manager
Occupancy is measured rather than merely booked: Wi-Fi presence detection with QR and app check-in as backstops marks each booking Seen on-site or Not seen on-site, with historical data, admin filters, an export carrying the Seen on-site column, and retention configurable per data type up to a year — the check-in-based numbers I could defend to the board. Utilisation by room, floor, team, day of week and time of day, forecasting, and a booking-data API are documented; the privacy side is thinner, as we found no public information on minimum group sizes, role-based access to personal booking data, or works-council material. 4 6 15 19
The People Lead
Utilisation is reported by room, floor, team, day of week and time of day with forecasting of future demand, Excel and CSV export, and configurable retention — occupancy data retained up to a year with one month the default, booking data up to 5 or 7 years by plan. The presence side is an administrative tool that labels each booking holder "Seen on-site" or "Not seen on-site" and combines Wi-Fi presence with bookings, and we found no public information on minimum group sizes, aggregate-only reporting, or works council material, which for me is the part that would need careful negotiation here. 4 6 8 19
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Utilisation metrics run by room, floor, team, day of week and time of day with forecasting and exportable reports, and occupancy tracking adds measured presence through public IP matching, a Companion tray app and mobile background checks, shown against bookings as seen or not seen on-site. Retention is documented separately per data type with occupancy retention configurable up to a year, deletion after termination, a published DPA and a GDPR compliance policy. I found no public information on minimum group sizes for anonymised reporting, scenario planning for consolidation, or material a works council could work from. 4 6 10 15 18 19
The Works Council Member
Utilisation reporting covers room, floor, team, day of week and time of day, real-time usage, forecasting and exportable reports, and retention is unusually well documented with separate articles and configurable periods for user, booking and occupancy data. But the analytics name individual users, presence detection lets administrators confirm whether people were actually on the premises, and a per-person 'Seen on-site' Yes/No column exports to Excel or CSV — while we found no public information on anonymised reports with minimum group sizes, and booking data can be retained up to 7 years on the top tier, so our works agreement would have to impose the aggregation floor ourselves. 6 8 10 15 19
The Office Manager
Utilisation is reported by room, floor, team, day and time of day, with real-time reporting, Excel and CSV export and a booking-data API, and Wi-Fi presence detection marks bookings "Seen on-site" so booked and actual use can be compared. Retention is documented per data type and configurable (occupancy defaults to one month), and the privacy policy states booking data is not sold. We found no public information on minimum group sizes in reports, consolidation scenarios or published works-council material, which a German office would want before trusting the numbers. 4 6 8 10 19
The Skeptic
The occupancy figures are built from bookings combined with network-presence matching against the venue's configured public IPs, and the method's blind spots are stated — no retroactive updates, and presence not recorded off the configured networks — which is exactly the candour I want before trusting the numbers. Utilisation by room, floor, team, day and time, Excel and CSV exports with a Seen on-site column, and retention configurable from one month to a year are evidenced. We found no public information on sensor or badge data feeding the figures, minimum group sizes or anonymised report modes, scenario planning, or works council material for a feature that flags named individuals as on-site. 19 4 6 15 10
Integrations, identity & administration
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the tool fits the company's systems and is run: Microsoft 365 and Exchange room mailboxes, Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams and Slack apps, single sign-on with Entra ID, Okta or Google (SAML or OIDC), SCIM user provisioning, HR system sync (Personio, SAP SuccessFactors, Workday), access control and badge systems, room displays and sensor hardware, a documented REST API and webhooks, several sites, countries and companies in one account, roles and delegated administration per site, audit logs, bulk import of users and resources, and implementation and support.
0 — No integrations, one admin login, users and desks entered only by hand.
3 — A calendar connection and a few admin roles; single sign-on, provisioning, API and multi-site administration are basic or not described.
5 — Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace calendar sync, Teams or Slack app, single sign-on with Entra ID, Okta or Google, user import or SCIM provisioning, a documented REST API, several sites with administrators per site, and bulk import of users and resources.
8 — SCIM provisioning with groups, HR system sync, access control or badge integration, webhooks, SAML and OIDC, granular roles and delegated administration per site and country, audit logs, room display and sensor hardware supported by named models, several companies or tenants in one account, and an implementation plan published.
10 — Administration that scales across a multinational estate: every setting reachable by API with parity stated, multi-tenant administration with separate data per company, audit logs exportable to a SIEM, an open hardware policy with documented device APIs, and a named support SLA per plan.
The Workplace Manager
SCIM provisioning maps groups to tags with deprovisioning policies documented, SAML 2.0 single sign-on names Okta, Entra ID, Google, JumpCloud and OneLogin, Kisi covers access control, tablet displays and the Logitech Tap Scheduler are named hardware, and webhooks are documented down to signing secrets, retries and plan requirements. We found no public information on HR system sync, OIDC, audit logs exportable to a SIEM, or administering several companies in one account. 1 7 8 20 21
The People Lead
SCIM provisioning with group-to-tag sync from Microsoft Entra ID or Okta, SAML 2.0 SSO across five named providers, signed webhooks with retries and event types, a documented API, Kisi access control, Logitech Tap Scheduler and iPad/Android tablet displays, multi-location support, a booking activity audit trail, and a dedicated onboarding specialist cover nearly everything our IT would ask. We found no public information on HR system sync such as Personio or SAP SuccessFactors, OIDC, occupancy sensor hardware, several companies in one account, or audit log export to a SIEM. 1 7 8 20 21
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
From my seat this fits: SAML 2.0 single sign-on with Entra ID, SCIM provisioning from Entra ID or Okta with groups mapped to tags, two-way Outlook sync, a native Teams and Outlook app, signed webhooks with retries, a documented booking API, and an audit trail of booking activity. Room displays work with a named Logitech Tap Scheduler integration plus iPad or Android tablets, and the desktop presence app deploys through Intune, Jamf or Kandji. Caveats for my rollout: SCIM carries no admin privileges and is scoped per venue with one SCIM app per venue recommended, and I found no public information on OIDC, HR system sync such as Personio or Workday, or exporting audit logs to a SIEM. 1 4 7 8 13 19 20 21
The Works Council Member
SAML 2.0 single sign-on with Okta, Entra ID, Google, JumpCloud and OneLogin, SCIM provisioning with groups mapped to tags and documented deprovisioning behaviour, signed webhooks with retries, a documented booking-data API, a Kisi access-control integration, named room displays from Logitech and tablet hardware, an activity feed billed as a full audit trail with 60- or 90-day retention tiers, and a go-live promise of days with free map conversion. We found no public information on HR system sync, OIDC, audit-log export to a SIEM, or several companies sharing one account. 1 4 7 8 20 21
The Office Manager
SAML single sign-on with Okta, Entra ID, Google, JumpCloud and OneLogin, SCIM provisioning with groups mapped to user tags, two-way Microsoft 365 and Google calendar sync, signed webhooks with retries, access control via Kisi and Logitech Tap room displays by name, plus an audit trail of every booking — that covers nearly everything on our IT wish list, and a dedicated specialist is documented to get you live "in days, not months". We found no public information on direct HR-system sync (Personio, Workday and the like), and SCIM and webhooks are documented as available only on the top plans. 1 7 8 20 21
The Skeptic
SCIM is documented down to per-venue base URLs, groups mapped to user tags, deprovisioning policies and their stated limits; webhooks come with signing secrets, retries and named booking events; SAML SSO names five providers; Kisi covers access control, Logitech Tap Scheduler and tablets cover displays, and the booking audit trail is exportable. We found no public information on HR system sync, OIDC, sensor hardware, or audit logs exportable to a SIEM, which keeps this below the top of the scale. 20 21 7 8 12 1
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity and the parent company are, where employee profiles, bookings (who sat where on which day), presence and absence plans, parking licence plates and sensor data are stored and processed, and who the subprocessors are (hosting, email and push notifications, maps, analytics, support and payment tools, hardware and sensor clouds). Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline. A calendar integration with Microsoft 365 or Google that the customer already runs is part of the customer's chain; the vendor's own hosting and subprocessors are what is judged.
0 — Non-EU vendor and contracting entity, hosting unstated, subprocessors unnamed, and no data processing agreement offered.
3 — A privacy policy and a data processing agreement exist, but hosting location is unstated or non-EU and the subprocessors are not listed.
5 — EU hosting available and an EU contracting entity or EU representative, but parts of the chain (email and push notifications, analytics, support, payment, sensor clouds) run through non-EU providers without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU hosting on named infrastructure, EU contracting entity, subprocessors listed with their locations, a data processing agreement published, and security certifications (ISO 27001, SOC 2) stated — or an on-premise edition documented that keeps every record on the customer's own servers.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, entity, hosting and every subprocessor, or an on-premise edition with no call home, data export and deletion documented, and certifications published with their scope rather than implied.
The Workplace Manager
Skedda, Inc. is a Delaware corporation whose hosting runs on Microsoft Azure in the USA, with the privacy policy stating processing in the United States and other countries; a subprocessor list with locations (Google Workspace and Vanta in the USA, Cloudflare global), a published data processing agreement, Standard Contractual Clauses for EEA, UK and Swiss transfers, and SOC 2 Type II give a documented chain. We found no public information on an EU hosting option, an EU contracting entity or an EU representative — a genuine constraint for a German-Austrian insurer. 9 10 12
The People Lead
The contracting entity is Skedda, Inc., a Delaware corporation under Delaware law, hosting its primary application resources on Microsoft Azure in the USA, and the published subprocessor list (Azure, Google Workspace, Vanta — all USA — and Cloudflare globally) names locations with a published DPA, Standard Contractual Clauses for EEA/UK/Swiss transfers, and SOC 2 reports. For employee presence data — who sat where on which day — we found no public information on EU hosting, an EU contracting entity or EU-based subprocessors, which is the first question my Hamburg works council would ask. 9 10 12
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
The subprocessor list is public and reviewable — Microsoft Azure in the USA as hosting infrastructure, Cloudflare globally, Google Workspace and Vanta in the USA — and a DPA, GDPR compliance policy, SCC-based transfer safeguards and SOC 2 Type II audits are published. But the contracting entity is Skedda, Inc., a Delaware corporation under Delaware law, processing personal information in the United States and other countries, and I found no public information on EU hosting or a European contracting entity. 9 10 12
The Works Council Member
The chain is entirely American: Skedda, Inc. is a Delaware corporation, the primary application including its databases runs on Microsoft Azure in the USA, and the named subprocessors Google Workspace and Vanta are USA-based, with Cloudflare global — we found no public information on a European hosting option, an EU contracting entity or an EU representative. Credit where due: the data processing addendum, the subprocessor list with locations, Standard Contractual Clauses for EEA, UK and Swiss transfers, and SOC 2 Type II reports are all published, but for a German utility the record of who sat where would sit on US infrastructure under a Delaware-governed agreement. 9 10 12
The Office Manager
The contracting entity is Skedda, Inc., a Delaware corporation governed by Delaware law, hosting on Microsoft Azure in the USA, and the named subprocessors (Google Workspace, Vanta in the USA, Cloudflare globally) are also non-EU. To its credit the pages publish a data processing agreement, Standard Contractual Clauses for EEA transfers, a DPO contact and SOC 2 Type II audits. We found no public information on EU hosting or a European entity or representative, so our booking, presence and parking data would sit in the USA under US law. 9 10 12
The Skeptic
The chain is documented and it is American end to end: a Delaware corporation hosts its primary application, database and storage on Microsoft Azure in the USA, processes personal information in the United States and other countries, and its named subprocessors — Google, Vanta, Stripe and Cloudflare — sit in the USA or globally. A published DPA, standard contractual clauses for EEA transfers and SOC 2 Type II are evidenced, which lifts it above the bare-minimum level, but we found no public information on EU hosting or an on-premise edition, so it cannot approach the European levels. 9 12 10 11
Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the real annual cost from public pages alone: price per tier by user, desk, bookable resource, site or device, what rooms, parking and analytics cost on top, which features (SSO, SCIM, HR sync, sensors, room displays, visitor management, API) need a higher tier or an add-on, hardware prices and their licences, platform or setup fees, minimum users or minimum spend, the free tier and its limits, minimum term and VAT.
0 — No public prices at all; every customer is a sales call.
3 — A starting price or a free tier exists, but how cost scales with users, desks, rooms, sites or devices is unclear.
5 — Tiers are public with their price unit (per user, desk, resource or site) and main inclusions, but at least one commonly needed piece (room or parking booking, SSO, analytics, displays or sensors, setup) is unpriced or "on request".
8 — Every tier priced publicly with its scaling rule, add-ons and hardware licences priced, setup and platform fees stated, minimum users or spend stated, minimum term and VAT treatment stated.
10 — Complete price computability: annual cost derivable for a given number of users, desks, rooms, parking spaces and sites, with every add-on, hardware, support and implementation fee and the cancellation and data-return terms published.
The Workplace Manager
Plus and Premier are public at $249/mo and $349/mo per space billed annually with 35 and 45 spaces included, an administrators add-on costs $99/mo, floor-plan conversion is stated to cost nothing, and the terms state USD billing, taxes excluded, non-refundable fees and a 30-day renewal notice. The price of a space beyond the included count, the Enterprise tier and hardware such as displays are not priced, and feature gating — assigned spaces and SCIM on Premier, webhooks on Premier — must be pieced together from help pages, so I cannot compute a full annual cost for 900 people on three sites. 8 9 14 21
The People Lead
Two tiers are public with their unit — Plus "STARTING AT $249/mo" with 35 spaces included and Premier "STARTING AT $349/mo" with 45 spaces, both per space billed annually — plus a $99/mo administrators add-on, unlimited users and bookings, free floor-plan conversion, taxes excluded and 30-day annual renewal notice, and the feature-to-plan mapping for assigned spaces, check-in, SCIM and webhooks is unusually open. The Enterprise tier carries no price, the rate beyond the included spaces is not stated, and we found no public information on hardware licences for tablet displays. 4 8 9 14 20 21
The Microsoft 365 Administrator
Both Workplace tiers are public — Plus starting at $249/mo and Premier starting at $349/mo, priced per space, billed annually, with 35 and 45 spaces included and unlimited users and bookings — plus a $99/mo administrators add-on and plan gates stated for SCIM, assigned spaces, check-in, floor plans and webhooks. Taxes are excluded with the customer responsible, floor-plan conversion is free, and renewal, fee-increase and refund terms are published. What I still cannot compute from public pages: the per-space price beyond the included bundle, the Enterprise tier, hardware or display licences, and any setup or platform fee beyond the free map build. 4 8 9 14 15 20 21
The Works Council Member
Plus is public starting at $249/mo per space billed annually with 35 spaces included, Premier starting at $349/mo with 45 spaces, plus a $99/mo administrators add-on, free floor-plan conversion, and terms of service stating US-dollar billing, taxes excluded and payable by the customer, non-refundable fees, a renewal cap of CPI plus three percentage points and 30-day auto-renewal notice. A buyer still cannot compute a real bill: we found no public price for the Enterprise tier, for spaces beyond the included 35 or 45, or for display hardware, and which features sit in which plan is spread across support articles rather than one comparison. 8 9 14 15 20 21
The Office Manager
Both workplace tiers are public — "STARTING AT $249/mo" (Plus, 35 spaces included) and "STARTING AT $349/mo" (Premier, 45 spaces included), priced per space, billed annually, unlimited users, with administrators as a "$99/mo add-on" — and the help pages state which plan unlocks check-in, assigned spaces, SCIM and webhooks, which is exactly the kind of gating a buyer needs. Taxes are excluded and annual billing is clear. We found no public information on the rate for spaces beyond the included counts, the Enterprise price, analytics add-ons or display hardware, so I still could not read our full annual cost off the website. 8 9 14 15 20 21
The Skeptic
Two tiers are public with their price unit and inclusions — "$249/mo" and "$349/mo", priced per space, billed annually, with "35 spaces included" and "45 spaces included" — alongside a priced "$99/mo add-on" for administrators, tax treatment, renewal notice and non-refund terms. The Enterprise tier, the price of spaces beyond the included counts, hardware, and the gating of floor plans, assigned spaces, SCIM and webhooks to higher plans are unpriced, so a real estate portfolio's annual cost is not computable from public pages alone. 8 9 14 20 21

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 5 Nov 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Hosting location. No page states the default storage location of customer data outright; the finding is inferred from the subprocessor list naming Microsoft Azure (USA) as the hosting infrastructure, while the security page mentions backups 'across multiple regions'.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
What we left out
A claim that does not survive our checks costs us the claim, not the page. This is what was taken off this one.
