There is an audience for such platforms - Timefold Platform optimizes 1,000,000 visits and 2,000,000 shifts per week - but only if it's more than just orchestration.

If it handles explainabily, what-if scenarios and insights to fulfill business needs.

And that's where supporting many solvers becomes the blocker.

A lowest common denominator design.

Those solvers are a black box. They don't expose what they're running, why they made certain decisions or how they can scale to large datasets or complex business requirements.

We've picked our poison: one solver, which we've built in the open, in the last 20 years, versatile enough to handle any scheduling problem. That delivers.
