Timefold

Timefold provides REST-based scheduling optimization APIs that take JSON input describing resources and jobs and return an optimized plan in JSON. The page lists four pre-built APIs (Field Service Routing, Employee Shift Scheduling, Pickup & Delivery Routing, Task Scheduling) and a Custom API that turns a described scheduling problem into an API. It states the APIs are stateless, handle skills, fairness, labor laws, dependencies and other constraints, support real-time rescheduling when disruptions occur, and offer explainability, what-if scenarios and simulations. An open-source solver is also mentioned. The page cites enterprise security certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, GDPR) and customer testimonials, and it states a free POC with your own data is available.
