Constraint optimization built for real-world complexity and scale
Solve any constraint programming problem with Timefold. Start building yourself with our open-source constraint solver or integrate one of our plug & play APIs. From shift scheduling to vehicle routing and job scheduling problems, Timefold offers the flexibility with unmatched performance.
Build yourself, or plug and play
Build your optimization application with our constraint solver (the continuation of OptaPlanner), or skip months of development by integrating our fit-for-purpose scheduling APIs.
Our solver is a lightweight, embeddable constraint satisfaction engine you can use to model custom solutions.
For vehicle routing, shift scheduling, and job scheduling, we built ready-made models you call directly via REST API.
Built for complexity & scale
Hard constraints represent rules and limitations of the real world
Medium constraints help manage plans when resources are limited
Soft constraints help optimize plans based on the business goals.
Configurable constraints
Configure and weigh soft, medium and hard constraints to tailor optimization output to your specific needs
Shift scheduling
Automatically schedule shifts while optimizing for fairness, efficiency, costs or other business objectives
Vehicle routing
Best fit for VRPs. Solve complex vehicle routing problems & optimize for travel time, multi-resource coordination and more.
Task or job scheduling
Automatically assign the right job to the right resource, all constraints taken into account.
Re-schedule in real time
When the real world inevitably disrupts your schedules, adapt in real time automatically or through our recommendation engine.
Hierarchical planning
Solve complex, multi-layered planning problems across use cases thanks to Timefold’s versatile capabilities.
Compatibility
Timefold Solver is compatible with all major frameworks and platforms in the Java, Python and Kotlin ecosystems.
Teams solving real scheduling problems
Our customers about their Timefold experience.
"We needed a solution that would integrate seamlessly into our technology stack. Timefold’s engineering-first mindset immediately stood out. Their capabilities are advanced and comprehensive, their APIs are exceptionally clean, and their economic model is both uncomplicated and well aligned with organizations that rely on a platform provider."
"Timefold worked in partnership with NEC to provide the optimisation required and extended their platform to accommodate specific requirements for the Social Housing sector. The time to market was shortened through agile partnerships working."
"Tasked with a complex scheduling problem for a prospect, we were operational in real-time, with real data in 4 days. Thanks in large part to the solid foundation of Timefold, the client selected us on the strength of our demonstration."
