Educational infrastructure software
Wise Timetable and the surrounding family of scheduling, booking and publishing tools for academic institutions.
About us
Twenty-five years on one thing
Wise Timetable started as a research and development project for a leading Central European university that had outgrown every scheduling tool available to it. It has been rebuilt several times since, and it is still the thing we do.
How we got here
Wise Technologies began in the early 1990s, when members of the current leadership were doing pioneering research at local medical institutes, working at the boundary between software and hardware integration. The company was formally founded as an independent entity in 2003 and later joined a larger technology group.
Wise Timetable itself began twenty-five years ago as a major R&D initiative for a leading Central European university, built to handle a scale of scheduling complexity that off-the-shelf tools could not. It has since been redesigned several times on current technology, which is why it feels modern without forcing long-standing users to relearn it.
The system was built with continuous input from educators and administrators, and that has not stopped. If your institution has a genuinely unusual requirement, we will look at implementing it as a feature rather than telling you it is out of scope. That is how we have ended up meeting almost every user need put to us over the years.
What else we build
Timetabling is our largest product but not our only one. The range reflects a long-standing habit of taking on technically awkward problems.
Hospital management systems
Including Wise Bed Manager, applying the same resource-allocation thinking to clinical capacity.
Laboratory research applications
Software for research environments, growing out of the founders' work in medical institutes.
Augmented reality for gaming
A separate line of development in real-time graphics and interaction.
Automated quality control
Industrial inspection through image analysis, in production environments.
Artificial intelligence research
Ongoing research and applied solutions, including work on approaches that are not purely predictive.
Built to be understood in your own vocabulary
Academic terminology is not standard across the world, and a scheduling system that forces one country's vocabulary onto everyone else creates friction on the very first screen.
The interface is localised into 16 languages, and all Unicode languages are supported for institutional data — so programme names, module titles, staff names and room names can be held and published in any script, whatever interface language your administrators use.
Less obviously, English itself is offered in several variants, because programme, division, department, section, group, year, level and grade do not mean the same things in the United Kingdom, the United States and the Gulf. You pick the set that matches how your institution already describes itself, rather than translating in your head every time you open the software.
- English — programmes, sections/groups, years (the most common set)
- English — division, department, section, grade
- English — departments, programmes, sections/groups, levels
- Slovenščina, srpski, hrvatski, bosanski, and further European languages
- 16 interface languages in total, with full Unicode support for institutional data in any script
- Right-to-left content handled throughout published output
How we work with institutions
We value every conversation with our clients, online or on site. With more than twenty years of dedicated experience, our team does not only answer questions — we regularly suggest entirely different processes to institutions, because we have watched what works across a lot of universities.
Our headquarters are in Slovenia, in the European Union, and we work with support partners in other regions so there is someone close to our clients. Cloud infrastructure is distributed across regions for local performance and reliability.
- Founded 2003, Ljubljana, Slovenia, EU
- ISO/IEC 27001 certified Information Security Management System
- Interface localised into 16 languages, all Unicode languages supported for institutional data
- Support partners and distributors in multiple regions
- Cloud infrastructure distributed regionally, plus full on-premises deployment
Partnership and resale
We are actively looking for partners worldwide. If you work with higher education institutions in your region — as a reseller, an integrator, or a consultancy — there is a straightforward commercial arrangement to be had.
Our business is transparent, focused on shared value rather than extracting maximum margin from a captive customer. We believe in long-term partnerships, and our client relationships tend to run for many years.
Write to info_wise@wise-t.com if that describes you — whether as a partner or a future colleague.
