Product
A complete timetabling system rather than a generator with a catalogue of paid extensions. Every capability below is included in a standard licence — there is no feature tier.
Already licensed, or installing for the first time? Start here.
Everything the desktop application does, done in a browser instead: courses, lecturers, rooms, programmes, students, bookings, availability, generation, reports and PDF or Excel output. Nothing to install, nothing to deploy. Use either, or both.
One key, entered once, on Settings → Misc → General. No ODBC data source, no connection string, and an installation that already works keeps its configuration. Written for the person who has to do it.
Two or three people can build the same timetable at the same time. Ownership is taken per course so nobody overwrites anybody, changes appear within ten seconds, and it is switched on once for the whole institution. Includes the free 12-page manual.
Getting information into the system, without retyping what you already have.
Excel, CSV, XML and REST API import, with ready-made templates and custom mapping to your own file format.
Step-by-step entry through a graphical interface, for institutions starting fresh or filling gaps in imported data.
Lecturers book their own free hours through the web booking system. Generation then runs directly against it.
From an empty grid to a conflict-free schedule.
Working hours, breaks, daily load limits, room locks and distribution preferences — hard rules and soft preferences handled separately.
A conflict-free timetable in minutes from one click, with locked sessions respected and unallocated items listed clearly.
Compare generated variants, tune the balance between compact and spread teaching, and improve room utilisation.
Clashes surfaced the instant they are created, with a swap tool that tells you whether an exchange is possible before you commit.
Lecturers reserve labs, meeting rooms and consultation slots themselves, restricted to the rooms they are entitled to, with an optional approval queue. Fully integrated with the central timetable so nothing double-books.
One address doing two jobs: a timetable anyone reads without an account, and a booking system staff sign in to. Carries your branding, reads the live schedule, and checks every date a repeating booking would fall on before it reserves anything.
A dedicated final-examination module with seating plans and invigilator assignment, respecting minimum gaps between papers and student-level clash rules across the whole cohort.
Attendance recorded from a rotating QR code projected in the room or shown on the lecturer's laptop, reconciled against the timetable automatically. No hardware, no register call.
Change rooms, lecturers or programmes with a few clicks, and see the effect propagate across the whole timetable transparently.
One screen for the summer: seed next year's database from this one, keep the rooms and lecturers, drop last year's schedules — and hold a room booking for a conference two years out.
Everyone affected by a change is notified automatically, by email and by push notification in the mobile apps.
Handle absence and cover without rebuilding anything: find who is genuinely free, assign or cancel, and notify everyone in time.
Recurring server-side tasks that email schedules, push changes to phones, serve live ICS calendar feeds and refresh signage — with no manual step to forget.
Send the timetable, or a change to it, straight from the desktop application — to a whole programme, a year, a single group, or one person. No export step and no separate mailing tool.
The four things a person opens for themselves, rather than something the institution publishes at them.
Native iOS and Android apps with personalised timetables and push notifications, free for students and staff.
Each student signs in to a schedule that is only theirs — their modules, their groups, their electives — rather than a programme-wide grid they have to read themselves out of. Exports to their own calendar.
The same timetable from the teaching side, plus the things only a lecturer does: enter availability, book a room, request a change and pull the reports for their own load.
Students choose their optional modules online, before or during enrolment, from the list of what is actually running this year — and the office gets every choice back as a spreadsheet rather than a pile of forms.
Ready-made, searchable timetable pages carrying your branding, ready to link or embed in your own site. No account needed to read one.
One feed per lecturer and one per room, written nightly for the whole year, so a timetable keeps itself up to date inside Outlook, Google Calendar or Apple Calendar without anybody re-issuing anything.
Departure-board style output for campus screens, updating automatically as the timetable changes.
Room utilisation, lecturer workload, unallocated sessions and custom reports, in the browser or exported.
PDF and Excel output with fully customisable layout and content, for printing, archiving and committee papers.
Teams, Zoom or Meet addresses held on the room, the subject or a single lesson, with the order that decides which wins set per programme — and resolved identically on the web, the apps, the emailed schedule and paper.
A documented REST API for inbound and outbound connections, plus scheduled synchronisation with your student information system, HR system and institutional databases. Single sign-on through Shibboleth and comparable systems.
Schedules, events, rooms, lecturers, courses, holidays and notifications as JSON over HTTPS, with ETag caching and documented error codes. The service description answers without a login and the manual is published in full.
Full cloud hosting on AWS with daily backups and regional distribution for local performance, or complete on-premises installation where data must not leave your network.
Join the separate timetables of faculties and departments in one university: map their differing names, synchronise across different time grids, and see lecturer and room availability across all of them.
