“Can a hybrid-work desk-booking SaaS become the default operating layer for the physical office?”
Skedda started in 2013 as a simple online booking tool for sports facilities and studios, born out of the founders' own frustration managing reservations. Post-pandemic, the company pivoted upmarket into hybrid workplace management, targeting desk booking, meeting rooms, and visitor management for enterprises like Siemens, Mercedes-Benz, and Harvard. The legacy studio/sports use case now lives under a separate 'AllBooked by Skedda' brand — which is where the embedded payments/invoicing story sits — while the flagship Skedda product is a workplace SaaS with no financial services layer.
