Hi there, we're Timefold

We are a leading Open Source AI Solver and platform. We help everyone optimize their operations and scheduling faster, smarter and more efficiently. When you tap into the power of Timefold you rely on years of experience in the domain as Timefold is a fork of OptaPlanner by it's original creators and team.

Our mission

Is to free the world from wasteful scheduling by making planning optimization accessible to everyone!

Why Timefold?

Planning optimization and operations research specifically is a highly complex mathematical domain and has long been exclusive to many. We develop software that empowers developers to leverage a powerful Solver trough programming instead of writing mathematical algorithms.

Why it matters

Using resources efficiently has a big impact on our economy and the environment.

Our Vehicle Routing models have proven to reduce driving time by 25%, reduce driving distance and fuel consumption. For Employee Shift Scheduling contribute by creating an optimized planning and at the same time give employees 50% more positive answers to their personal preferences, creating a happier place to work.
