Every workstation, machine, and operator in sync
Our Task Scheduling API sequences jobs and assigns machines and operators automatically. It minimizes setup and changeover time, respects tooling limits and capacity, and reoptimizes when a line goes down or a rush order lands. Expect up to 25% higher throughput, 20% less changeover time, and shorter lead times.
Run production faster
Run production faster with automatically optimized job and machine schedules. Our Task Scheduling API builds executable plans that respect setup times, skills, and capacity while balancing cost, throughput, and delivery commitments.
Outsource complexity, deliver excellence
Running discrete manufacturing means managing hundreds of interdependent jobs across machines, tooling, people, and shifts.
Job sequencing and setup time
Automatically order jobs to reduce changeovers, respect setup, and avoid costly downtime.
Machine and operator assignment
Match every job to the right machine and qualified operator to keep lines productive and safe.
Shared tools and limited capacity
Avoid conflicts when multiple jobs compete for the same resource, fixture, or workcell.
Dynamic change management
Reoptimize instantly when priorities shift, a line goes down, or a high-priority order needs to be inserted.

FAQ
Do you have questions? We have answers.
Executives need confidence in how people and resources are being put to work. PlanningAI builds resilience into daily operations by delivering cost savings, efficiency gains, compliance, and strategic insights. Leaders gain a system that makes their workforce happier, and their decisions easier. The outcome is more than efficiency: it’s a thriving organization that runs smarter.
Most organizations still rely on spreadsheets, rule-based systems, or rigid enterprise software to handle planning and scheduling. They generate plans that quickly become outdated, require constant manual adjustments, and struggle to balance competing priorities like cost, efficiency, and compliance. In field service for example, routing is often done with fixed rules that ignore real-time disruptions. Workforce scheduling is notoriously known for defaulting to manual tweaks from human planners. Clearly, these tools weren’t built for complexity and scale.
Our solution utilizes dynamic scheduling algorithms that can quickly adapt to changes, such as fluctuating demand, employee availability, or last-minute absences. Timefold's flexibility ensures that your scheduling remains optimal, responsive, and resilient to change, minimizing disruptions and maintaining operational efficiency.
Timefold is designed for easy integration with a wide range of Service Management software through API connectivity. We provide detailed documentation and support for REST APIs, allowing seamless data exchange and functionality within your existing software ecosystem.
When scheduling works, everything works.
Less waste. More control. Teams that trust the plan.
