Collaboard plays the secure, European online-whiteboard alternative to Miro.
Roughly one post a month with a steady mix of online-whiteboard educational content (brainstorming, huddle boards, idea boards) and occasional product-feature posts. Security is treated as a first-class differentiator — the April security-features piece reads like a positioning anchor for the EU/Swiss data-hosting buyer.
Skedda is closing the booked-vs-used gap with check-in automation and occupancy insights.
Skedda has spent the last two months building out the loop between bookings, actual presence, and analytics. The Companion App (Mac and Windows) detects when a user's laptop joins the office network and feeds auto check-in. The Insights tab now includes check-in rates, method breakdowns (WiFi, QR, email), and per-user and per-space drill-downs. Visit Types just landed for proper visitor categorization, and User Search on the map closes a frequently asked 'where is my colleague sitting' workflow.

Cadence is low and feature drops are quiet but real (the September video-screenshot feature). The product is leaning on operational-frameworks content (Lean huddle boards, swimlane and activity diagrams) to capture teams already running structured processes who need a digital surface that meets European compliance norms.
Expect continued small feature posts every quarter or two and continued process-template content. The interesting watch is whether Collaboard makes any louder play for Miro-displacement traffic as Miro continues to consolidate features and raise prices.

The product is converging on workplace operations — not just bookings, but occupancy truth and visitor governance. The Companion App plus Check-in Insights attack the long-running hot-desk problem where bookings overstate actual usage. Visit Types and earlier Notification Rules are positioning Skedda for richer reception and security workflows, edging into the visitor-management territory dominated by Envoy.
Expect deeper coupling between occupancy data and space-optimization recommendations — likely under-utilization flags and right-sizing suggestions — alongside continued visitor-governance investment (badge printing, watchlists, NDA capture) to keep competing with dedicated visitor-management vendors.
