What's new and what's next at Timefold | Changelog Q3 & Roadmap Q4

Join Brecht De Moor and Carly Kroll for a tour of what shipped across Timefold models and Timefold Platform from July to September. Then we look at what’s coming next, with live demos.

• Looking back
  
  • Field Service Routing: Focused replanning that makes room for urgent visits while keeping shared schedules stable, visit dependencies that schedule multi-step jobs together or not at all, and SLA-aware rules that decide which visits to leave unassigned when capacity runs short.‍
  • Employee Shift Scheduling: Assignability Analysis to catch shifts that can never be filled, absence-aware rules for part-timers and people returning from leave, and weights on individual contract rules.‍
  • Pick-up and Delivery Routing: Better solution quality with more pooled jobs and less travel, a new NEMT demo dataset, and new KPIs.‍
  • Task Scheduling (public preview): A first look at the newest model in our catalog, which plans jobs across machines and employees while respecting dependencies and priorities.

• Looking ahead:
  • Build your own model, with us: Run your custom model on Timefold Platform with the same datasets, comparisons, experiments, and maps as our models. Our Solutions team onboards each team personally.
  • PRD Chat: Describe your planning problem in plain language and get a structured requirements document.
  • Organizations: Manage all your tenants, members, and model releases from one place.
  • AI-powered explainability: Turn the explainability skill’s suggestions into experiments you can compare side by side.
  • Assignability Analysis everywhere: Coming to Field Service Routing and Pick-up and Delivery Routing.
  • Vehicle-type-aware maps: Routes and travel times that match what a truck or a car can actually drive.
