What is Zoho Projects?
Zoho Projects steadies into platform extensibility — custom modules now on web and mobile.
Recent shipping is dominated by extensibility and time-tracking work: custom modules launched on the web client and rolled out to Android and iOS in the same release window, a new Timesheets version, and access controls so managers can govern subordinates' time logs through user hierarchy. Smaller UX additions (task list internal/external flags, long URL fields, task grouping) round out the cadence.
What is Skedda?
Skedda keeps widening from desk booking toward full workplace operations.
Skedda is a workplace booking platform steadily absorbing the operations work around hybrid offices — visitor management, facilities issue reporting, presence search, and now on-tablet room control. This batch mixes one capability-surface expansion (walk-up tablet terminals) with a stack of booking-flow refinements: equipment add-ons, day-scoped priority windows, and deeper Microsoft sync. The product is no longer just 'reserve a desk'; it is accreting the operational layer that sits on top of the booking.

Zoho Projects
2.5COLLABPM
Zoho Projects steadies into platform extensibility — custom modules now on web and mobile.
◆ Current state
Recent shipping is dominated by extensibility and time-tracking work: custom modules launched on the web client and rolled out to Android and iOS in the same release window, a new Timesheets version, and access controls so managers can govern subordinates' time logs through user hierarchy. Smaller UX additions (task list internal/external flags, long URL fields, task grouping) round out the cadence.
◆ Where it's heading
Zoho Projects is doubling down on what makes it sticky against Asana and Monday — depth and configurability without per-seat sticker shock. Custom modules across web and mobile shifts the product from a fixed-schema tool toward a configurable platform that customers can mold to specific verticals. Time-tracking governance work suggests the product is being hardened for larger services-firm deployments.
◆ Prediction
Expect custom modules to gain workflow-rule and Blueprint integration next, making them first-class objects rather than data containers. Timesheets work is likely heading toward stronger billing/invoicing tie-ins with the broader Zoho One suite.
Skedda
6.3COLLAB
Skedda keeps widening from desk booking toward full workplace operations.
◆ Current state
Skedda is a workplace booking platform steadily absorbing the operations work around hybrid offices — visitor management, facilities issue reporting, presence search, and now on-tablet room control. This batch mixes one capability-surface expansion (walk-up tablet terminals) with a stack of booking-flow refinements: equipment add-ons, day-scoped priority windows, and deeper Microsoft sync. The product is no longer just 'reserve a desk'; it is accreting the operational layer that sits on top of the booking.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is to turn every touchpoint — map, tablet, Outlook, visitor kiosk — into a Skedda surface, cutting the need to open the web app at all. Walk-up tablet booking and two-way Microsoft approval sync both attack that friction from opposite ends. The visitor, check-in, insights, and issue-reporting work points at Skedda owning the physical-presence layer, not just the reservation.
◆ Prediction
Next likely move is extending the tablet terminal further — room-status display, wayfinding, or walk-up usage analytics — building on the check-in and Insights data Skedda has already shipped.
