Neat says Zoho Cliq joins Neat Open Apps on Neat devices

In a Sept. 14 announcement carried by Business Wire, Neat said Zoho Cliq has joined the Neat Open Apps ecosystem and that Neat is Zoho Cliq’s first hardware partner, delivering a purpose-built experience for physical conference rooms.

Zoho Cliq on Neat devices provides a purpose-built meeting room experience that includes instant meetings, integrated scheduling, in-room engagement features, and an integrated waiting room, according to Business Wire. Neat said the integration runs across its Generation 2 device portfolio through Neat Open Apps and is centrally managed through Neat Pulse.

What’s included: one-tap starts, scheduling, and in-room controls on Neat

According to Business Wire, Zoho Cliq running on Neat devices is positioned as a purpose-built room experience with instant meeting start from the room device, integrated scheduling that ties meeting booking to reserving the physical room, in-room reactions and spotlighting, and an integrated waiting room for attendee control. Neat’s own story about the partnership describes the same room workflow and frames it as extending “the tools your teams already know and use” into shared spaces.

Zoho’s blog post announcing Zoho Cliq Rooms availability on Neat devices says that once Cliq Rooms is set up, users can walk into a meeting room, find the scheduled meeting on the device, and get started.

Where it runs and how it’s managed: Neat Open Apps on Gen 2, governed by Neat Pulse
