We replaced manual dispatch with Timefold's optimization and lifted technician wrench time from 62% to over 80%, while cutting drive distance by 43%. Overtime is gone. Timefold plans the entire workforce's day at once and re-plans every 10 minutes as emergencies, sick calls, and overruns come in.

"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."

The pressure is rising

Still scheduling in spreadsheets? 

Whether your schedule lives in a spreadsheet, a legacy scheduler, or a home-grown process, manual scheduling costs you. 

01. Time-intensive and error-prone

Matching a multi-skilled workforce to thousands of jobs takes your dispatchers days to weeks. By the time the schedule is published, it's already outdated.

02. Routing and scheduling disconnected

If you assign jobs to crews without taking into account the routes, you're locked into a schedule that's inefficient by design. Paid hours go to the windshield instead of the job.

03. Every disruption is chaos

Emergency callouts, sick calls, or missing spare parts send your planners back to the whiteboard, while crews wait SLA clocks run, and customers remain disatisfied.

Scaling means higher margins

Grid buildout is accelerating. Your workforce isn't.

Grid investment is expected to double by 2030, while for every 1.4 field workers nearing retirement, only one enters. You can't hire your way out, but you can schedule your way out. Timefold assigns the right jobs to your crews on the best routes, without changing your existing workflows and tech stack. 

Nothing gets overlooked

A sample of the business rules Timefold optimizes out of the box.

Route optimization

minimize travel time, mileage, and waiting.

Vehicle capacity

respect load, weight, and volume on every route.

Time windows & opening hours

serve every stop when it's allowed.

Skills & affinity

match certifications, equipment, and customer preferences.

Pickup & delivery pairing

same vehicle, right order, every time.

Dependencies & sequencing

prerequisites, mutual exclusions, same-vehicle rules.

SLAs & priorities

honour contractual response times; make optional stops truly optional.

Driver shifts & breaks

legal hours, start/end locations, rest and lunch.

Multi-resource scheduling

several vehicles or people on the same visit.

When scheduling works, everything works

Less travel. Lower cost. Routes your team can trust.
