Using Skedda at an arts rehearsal venue
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Skedda to book out rehearsal spaces for theatre companies and individuals in our 20,000 sq ft venue in the heart of London. Users can also book themselves in directly 2 weeks-in advance. We have over 30 companies using the spaces every week.
Pros
- the clear and accurate map of the space
- different filters (grid, day, map) for different users
- being able to build a questionnaire within the booking form
- giving people easy access to log-in
- the amount of control you can have over what your users see
Cons
- admin should be able to book over other bookings
- quick change of an 'unavailable' booking to a confirmed one with a user attached
- not to let some users view further ahead than you decide
Most Important Features
- how user-friendly it is
- it looks pretty! goes very well with our beautifully designed spaces
- map view
Return on Investment
- we have been able to increase the amount of people using the spaces - from 20 companies a week, to up to 30 because we gave people the power to book
- employees don't have to keep checking emails from people asking about availability - users can just see this for themselves so this saved us a lot of time and workload

Satisfied Customer
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are moving resource scheduling from O365 to Skedda. So far we are happy with the product, but I'm writing this review to commend our representative. He's an excellent resource and he's been a consummate professional as he helped me to add resources (new maps and spaces). His video responses enabled me to better understand how to complete the config on my side. He has a wonderful demeanor, and I felt compelled to let you know.
Pros
- Develop floor plans with quick turnaround
- enable us to add resources in short order
- provide a quality customer service experience
Cons
- better understanding of how a resource could be available but the map not appear
Most Important Features
- integration with Outlook
- Immediate accessability
Return on Investment
- too early to tell; we just started using it.

Skedda is worth the money!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Since the pandemic, we have introduced Agile Working in our office. and reduced our desk spaces from 80 to 45. This meant that we had to find a solution to fit our needs, which enables the team to book their desks when they know they will be in the office. The setting up of Skedda was so easy, and the Skedda team (particularly Patrick) were just brilliant to deal with. Really helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The interface is so user friendly, that hardly any training was needed to roll out Skedda to the employees. Everyone has picked it up really easily and it has become ingrained in their day to day working life. It gives everyone a clear view of who is in the office, and which desk they are sitting at, and there are no issues when everyone comes to the office - as everyone has their booked desk to use! I highly recommend Skedda for companies who are looking for a more agile solution to their office working.
Pros
- Easy to set up
- Great customer service
- Easy User Experience
- Fast to roll out
Cons
- I can't see how it can be improved!
Most Important Features
- Ease of booking
- Overview of floorplan
Return on Investment
