Can we move from Skedda to Awaio?

Yes. Awaio connects to the same Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace calendars and accounts, so rooms and people come from systems you already use. Admins draw floor plans in the browser and can go live one module at a time.

How is Skedda priced compared to Awaio?

Skedda prices per space, billed annually, with unlimited users. The full rules engine and the API depend on the plan, and visitor management is a paid add-on. Awaio is priced per resource, such as desks, rooms, lockers and parking, with unlimited users.

Can Skedda open doors and lockers?

Skedda connects to Kisi electronic locks through Zapier, which needs a paid Zapier plan. Awaio supplies its own locks, opens doors and lockers in its own app, and connects existing doors and barriers with the Mobile Access Box.

Does Awaio work with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace?

Yes. Awaio syncs room calendars both ways with both, supports sign-in with Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace, and has an Outlook add-in for booking desks, rooms, parking and lockers.
