> Neat says Zoho Cliq is joining Neat Open Apps, bringing one-tap starts, integrated scheduling, and in-room controls on supported Neat devices.

## Key points

- According to Business Wire, Zoho Cliq is joining the Neat Open Apps ecosystem, and Neat said it is the first hardware partner to support Zoho Cliq.

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

Neat said the Zoho Cliq integration runs across its Generation 2 device portfolio through Neat Open Apps and is centrally managed through Neat Pulse, according to Business Wire. Neat’s own writeup repeats that architecture and positions Neat Open as the layer that brings cross-platform BYOD, business apps, AI Notes, and local wireless sharing together on the same device fleet.

## Why this lands with operators: turning “what chat app do we use?” into a room-hardware decision

Neat and Zoho highlighted a geographic angle. Business Wire cited Zoho’s presence across “150+ global markets,” and Neat’s partnership story highlighted India in particular.

## Channel and rollout signals: InfoComm India demos and a trade-press echo

Neat said it would demonstrate Zoho Cliq on Neat devices at InfoComm India 2026, Sept. 16, 18 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, booth E10, according to Business Wire and Neat’s story page.

According to UC Advanced, Zoho Cliq has joined the Neat Open Apps ecosystem, and Neat is the first hardware partner to support Zoho Cliq.

## What to watch next in real deployments
