Time to schedule

From time-intensive and error-prone, to fully automated task scheduling.

Built for your operational reality

Handle changing demand, disruptions, and workforce complexity with schedules built for the real world.

Stay in control of your scheduling timeline

Stay in control of your scheduling timeline

Plan days, weeks, months ahead. Continuously roll the horizon forward and optimize as new jobs come in. Replan in real time when priorities shift, capacity changes, or other unforeseen events disrupt your schedules.

Constraint harmony

Constraint harmony

From dozens to millions of planning decisions, optimize around any combination of constraints without sacrificing performance or schedule quality.

Smart sequencing

Smart sequencing

Plan along the real dependency chain, not a flat to-do list. Tasks that must come first are honored automatically, so the critical path stays protected while everything that can run in parallel does, whenever resources are free to take it on.

Human and machine

Human and machine

A single task rarely needs just one resource. Match the right employees and machines to every job at once. Assign across teams and resource types simultaneously, so nothing stalls waiting on a missing skill or an unavailable machine.

Close the trust gap

Close the trust gap

Every decision has a reason. Understand the trade-offs behind every schedule and adjust constraints with confidence.

Applicable across use cases

Built for field operations at scale.

Timefold automatically sequences tasks, assigns resources, and re-optimizes plans as conditions change, so your projects stay on time and on budget.

Timefold automatically sequences jobs, assigns machines and operators, and reoptimizes the schedule in real time, so production stays efficient even when priorities or conditions change.

Embed our Task Optimization API to plan, assign, and optimize maintenance work automatically. No more missed tasks, idle time, or rising downtime.

Key constraints

Nothing gets overlooked. 

Dependencies between tasks

Honors your order of operations: dependent tasks only start once their predecessors are done, stay together on the same resource when needed, and remain tightly sequenced without unrelated work slipping in between.

Tasks always executed on time

Respects each task’s earliest start and latest finish, so work never begins before it's ready and always finishes within your committed completion windows.

Throughput

Packs in as much work as possible and minimizes makespan to compress the overall timeline, while steering jobs toward their ideal completion times to balance throughput, speed, and just-in-time delivery.

Resource matching

Ensures every job lands on a resource with the right skills, capabilities, and permissions to handle it, so tasks are only ever assigned to the correct resource.

Transitions between resources

Blocks invalid switch-overs between jobs while rewarding smart sequencing, minimizing costly changeovers and keeping resources running efficiently.


When scheduling works, everything works.

Less waste. More control. Teams that trust the plan.
