Our take

In recent years, creating an accessible and smooth remote working system has become a requisite for many companies. Focused on this is Doodle, an online scheduling and meeting platform.

Boasting 10 million monthly users across 70,000+ businesses, a huge sell is the software can be used for teams of all sizes. This means its features are accessible to small independent businesses through to large enterprises. As a result, the company has placed itself at the forefront of the market (competing with the likes of Calendly).
