scheduling and routing optimization

50% more work done, same workforce

Find out how. 

The pressure is rising

More work, fewer people, but still scheduling manually? 

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 By the time the schedule is published, it's already outdated.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. 

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.
