Headquartered in Belgium, Timefold brings over 20 years of deep domain expertise to some of the most complex operational planning challenges in the world, powering smarter decisions for field service, facility management, healthcare, logistics, and beyond. Timefold's optimization engine automates large-scale scheduling decisions that are too complex for manual planning or rule-based tools. Through a simple, API-first integration, customers can embed Timefold's intelligence directly into their existing software, routing thousands of technicians, scheduling millions of shifts, or sequencing complex multi-step tasks, all in real time. Our platform handles the full spectrum of operational complexity: skill and certification matching, SLA windows, inventory constraints, live disruptions, contractor networks, and multi-region deployments. When things change mid-day — a cancellation, a breakdown, an urgent call, Timefold re-optimizes automatically, keeping operations resilient without dispatcher intervention. * * * Product Website Timefold Seller [Timefold](https://www.g2.com/sellers/timefold) Discussions [Timefold Community](https://www.g2.com/products/timefold/discuss) Languages Supported English Overview by Jente De Meyer Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Timefold. ### Spark Edition Contact Us Per Year [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/timefold/pricing) ## Timefold Integrations (11) What do users say about integrations?

ST Simon T. Internship Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 6/26/2026 "A Powerful Platform to solve Real-World Planning Optimization" 5/5 What do you like best about Timefold? Timefold is a flexible framework and API for solving large-scale planning problems with PlanningAI. It handles real-world constraints exceptionally well and can be applied across many different industries and use cases. Built on a Java-based technology stack, it integrates seamlessly with existing business applications and external APIs. The solver's performance is continuously improving, allowing increasingly large and complex planning problems to be solved efficiently. The Enterprise Edition further enhances scalability with features such as multi-core solving and nearby selection. As a close partner of Timefold, I have repeatedly experienced outstanding support from the team. Whenever questions or challenges arose, expert assistance was readily available through multiple communication channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Timefold? Timefold focuses on meta-heuristics to deliver optimal, algorithmic answers for real-world planning problems. If you’re expecting a full-stack application, keep in mind that it typically requires custom user interfaces or integrations in order to work directly with an end-user base. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Timefold solving and how is that benefiting you? Timefold solves planning problems such as employee rostering, complex vehicle routing, project planning, meeting scheduling, and many other use cases, which helps organisations use their resources more efficiently and be more productive. Since I provide custom consulting and build solutions on top of the Timefold framework and APIs, it also helps me deliver tailored solutions that fit each business’s needs.

This is a wonderfully thorough review, and we're grateful to have you as a close partner. It's great to hear the solver's performance, scalability, and the Enterprise features are serving the solutions you deliver, and that our team has been there whenever challenges came up. Your note on Timefold being a meta-heuristic framework rather than a full-stack app is spot on, and it's by design. By focusing on solving the planning problem itself (and leaving the application layer open) we make room for exactly the kind of custom, business-fit solutions you build on top of the framework and APIs. It's a model we value highly, and partners like you are a big part of why it works. Thanks for everything you build with Timefold.

That all the opportunities are available even open-source. There are several mini projects that are well documented and well explained so it is easy to understand the structure. It's also nice that the interfaces are just easy to understand. I really like the construction heuristic. You can very quickly get a result when you need something instantly. The more time you give, the better results you get. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Timefold? While I think all the features are well documented, I would really love to see more examples beyond the mini GitHub projects. Like a series about how you would build a more complex system from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Timefold solving and how is that benefiting you? I am glad that I can work on a public transport scheduling optimizer for free thanks to Timefold. With enough time I might get a better result than what is being implemented today saving potentially millions of dollars each year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That's exactly the kind of high-impact problem we love seeing people take on. Great call-out on the construction heuristics, too. Getting a usable result instantly and then watching it improve the longer you let it run is one of our favorite things about how the solver works, so it's nice to hear that clicked for you. Your point about wanting more than the mini projects is well taken. A series on building a more complex system from scratch is genuinely useful feedback, and exactly the kind of content we'd like to do more of. In the meantime, our community on discord (https://discord.gg/976RcEVVHW) are a great place to go deeper with others tackling similar problems. And if you're ever up for sharing how your transport optimizer came together, that's the kind of real-world build a lot of people would learn from and what we would love to write a use case about. Thanks for being part of the community!

Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 6/26/2026 "A Seamless, Feature-Rich Solution for Field Service Routing" 5/5 What do you like best about Timefold? I love Timefold for several reasons. The customer support is awesome. I found it solves many critical issues we faced before, and the flexible enhancements meet all our requirements with its in-built features. It's just so easy to work with, especially with transparent communications and documentation. The setup was like plug and play, making it super easy. I also appreciate the approach they took by sharing release notes upfront, which really helped our organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Timefold? We had one incident of having an upgrade in our production box without advanced communications, which led to an outage for a day. We had to manually do the routing because of that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Timefold solving and how is that benefiting you? Timefold solved critical issues like outages and improper optimizations.

It means a lot to hear the support, flexibility, and plug-and-play setup have worked so well for your field service routing, and that Timefold replaced your previous solution effectively. We also want to be straight about the disruption you mentioned. A day of falling back to manual routing is exactly what we work hard to prevent, and we're sorry it happened. It came down to a configuration change on our side that wasn't handled correctly, something we've since put right. It's not the experience we want you to have, and we hold ourselves to a higher bar than that. Thank you for your patience, and for being a Timefold customer.

The technology itself is solid and is already yielding strong results for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Timefold? I don’t dislike anything about it.

It is hard to pick out a single thing I like the best about Timefold. The support/onboarding is absolutely amazing, the performance of the employee shift scheduling is unparalleled, after having tried many other alternatives. Everything is super well documented, so the integration becomes quite easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Timefold? The UI inside the platform for displaying shifts, is useless. Sometimes shifts disappear, however that is not the reason we're using it as we display the shifts in our own system.

It genuinely means a lot to hear that our team has been able to dig into your specific challenges and find solutions that work, especially in a setting as demanding as healthcare scheduling. Your point on the rules is a fair one. When you're balancing rotations, preferences, and coverage all at once, the way constraints interact can get hard to follow. That tension between competing rules is part of the nature of optimization, but seeing how they trade off against each other shouldn't be. And making that clearer is something we care a lot about and we are working on explainability features. If it would ever help, our team is glad to support you in this analysis anytime.
