Skedda is a workplace-management software provider that enables online booking and scheduling for space-based resources. Its platform supports offices, co-working spaces, studios, universities and sporting venues, and serves customers internationally from its Melbourne base.
Skedda needed a repeatable, engineering-friendly localization process to support product growth and international users. The team wanted to remove translation bottlenecks, reduce developer dependency for routine localization tasks, and ensure reviewer workflows could be run by product and localization owners, not engineers. As the product matured, the company also required a measurement-oriented approach so future expansion of languages and seats would be tied to clear ROI.
Skedda’s criteria were technical rigor plus operational simplicity. The team ran a technical proof-of-concept (POC) to validate integration approach, performance and the ability to operate translations programmatically. At the same time, they needed onboarding that would hand localization ownership to non-engineering teams and an approach that allowed the business to judge ROI before increasing language coverage or user seats.
Localize delivered a compact, API-first approach focused on stability, automation and operational handoff:
Measurement orientation. From POC through onboarding, the engagement emphasized measurable outcomes so Skedda could evaluate ROI for future language and seat expansion.
The POC produced a decisive technical endorsement and the implementation transitioned smoothly into production. Onboarding was structured and substantive, enabling cross-functional teams to run translation review and publishing workflows with far less developer overhead. After launch, Skedda moved into active multi-language usage and established an operational localization workflow.
