Simpplr publishes the research that names the gap, then ships the product that closes it
The feed is overwhelmingly editorial: buyer's guides, State of Internal Communications findings, and commissioned Forrester research on the digital workplace. One actual release sits inside that stream — the Rewards Store, live August 10, which lets recognition given in Simpplr be redeemed without leaving the platform. The newest post is a G2 Fall 2026 report promotion aimed at buyers still shortlisting intranet vendors, following a migration guide for IT managers a few days earlier.
Skedda Companion can now be pushed to every laptop through MDM for full presence data.
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.

The publishing pattern is consistent enough to read as strategy: name a gap with survey or analyst data, then ship the feature that fills it. Recognition followed exactly that path. The recent run — migration guidance, then third-party evaluation material — is aimed at the shortlist stage rather than at describing product work, so for readers the useful signal remains that a repeated editorial theme here tends to precede a product move rather than merely report the market.
Expect migration and enterprise search — the two topics the editorial stream keeps returning to — to surface as product work, with search the more likely of the two given the platform framing in the Q1 review.

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.
Expect occupancy and presence data to reach the API, since Skedda said more API capabilities are planned and Companion now feeds richer attendance data.
