Timefold

Timefold is a software company headquartered in Ghent, Belgium that helps organizations solve complex planning, scheduling and routing problems.

Founded by the creators of the open-source OptaPlanner project, Timefold develops optimization technology that turns operational constraints and business goals into practical plans. Its mission is to make schedules fairer, more efficient and more adaptable while reducing wasted time and resources.

Timefold offers a platform with APIs for field service routing, employee shift scheduling, pickup and delivery routing, and task scheduling. These help teams assign people, vehicles and jobs while accounting for skills, availability, travel time, capacity, preferences, compliance and changing priorities.

Applications span field services, home care and facility maintenance; healthcare, retail, security and hospitality staffing; courier, same-day, freight and non-emergency medical transport; and project, manufacturing and maintenance scheduling.

The platform supports integration, hosting, orchestration, planning insights and explanations of scheduling decisions. Developers can also build tailored optimization applications with Timefold's open-source Solver or its enterprise offering.

By making complex task scheduling and route optimization decisions easier to automate, understand and revise, Timefold helps businesses improve productivity, control costs, support employees and deliver reliable service as conditions change.
