Guru vs Skedda

Skedda publishes only features — no fix notices reach this feed — at roughly a release every week or two, and the work splits cleanly in three. The booking rules engine keeps getting finer-grained: approval rules scoped to specific weekdays, booking windows specified in hours rather than days, and priority windows that hand different teams different days on the same desks. A second thread pushes past booking into adjacent workplace operations — equipment add-ons with stock limits, issue reporting with routing rules, visitor CSV import, and a tablet that now takes walk-up bookings without a login. The third is measurement, which started with check-in insights in May and now reaches organization level.

The product is climbing from venue tool toward workplace system of record, and the buyer is climbing with it. Check-in data answered 'is this room being used as booked'; the Organization Hub answers 'which of our sites are worth keeping', which is a real-estate question asked above the office manager who configures the rules. Meanwhile the rules engine's growing precision — day, hour, team — points at hybrid-schedule enforcement as the operational job, and issue reporting plus add-ons quietly turn each booking into a small work order.

Expect the organization tier to gain what a single venue already has — cross-venue rules, tags and user management rather than reporting alone — and for the utilization data to start driving recommendations rather than only displaying charts.
