Timefold

📊 Did you know? AI-driven workforce scheduling reduces the time spent managing shifts by 10-20%, freeing up valuable time for managers and schedulers. It also helps to eliminate human error, ensuring fair and balanced shifts across the board. ⏱️ Curious how AI can improve your scheduling efficiency?

"AI and human working together." Our thoughts exactly! PlanningAI empowers a human planner to deliver significantly better schedules (25% less driving time in Field Service Routing, 50% more day of request approvals in Employee Shift Scheduling) in a fraction of time, so they can also deal with changes and disruptions more easily and faster. AIP Foundry with Timefold is a very powerful combination. Thank you for mentioning Timefold Chad Wahlquist.
