Lecturers schedule themselves
Open the booking system to your teaching staff, let them book their free hours, and generate against exactly that. No other vendor combines availability collection and generation in one product.
Why Wise Timetable
Why institutions choose us
Five reasons, stated plainly enough that you can check every one of them against any other vendor you are considering.
The short version
One system, one licence
Room booking, exams, mobile apps, signage, the API, reporting and automation are all included. Most vendors sell you a generator and charge for the rest.
The price is published
From €90 per month, per independent timetable. No per-student fee, no per-user charge. Of eight competitors we looked at, not one publishes a figure.
Support is included, not sold
A named account manager, a 24-hour response target, and second-line issues answered by the developers who wrote the code. There is no premium tier to buy.
We build what you need
If the system does not already handle your requirement, we will look at building it as a feature. Most of what is on this site started that way.
We will still be here
Independently owned, same team, twenty-five years. In a market where brands keep disappearing into enterprise suites, that is worth checking.
“Our case is very specific” — and that is usually fine
It is the sentence we hear in almost every first conversation, and it is almost always true. Academic institutions are genuinely idiosyncratic, and each one is convinced its particular combination of rules is the one that breaks software.
Our answer has been the same for twenty-five years: tell us what the requirement is, and if the system does not already handle it, we will look at building it. Not as a chargeable consulting project wrapped in a change-control process — as a feature.
That is how the product got this comprehensive in the first place. Nearly every capability listed on this site exists because a university asked for it and we built it rather than explaining why it was out of scope. Being a focused, independent team rather than one product line inside an enterprise resource planning suite is precisely what makes that possible.
It is also the thing our customers mention unprompted. When the answer to an unusual requirement is “we can do that” rather than a roadmap date in eighteen months, an implementation stops feeling like a negotiation.
We know what a timetable actually is
It is the one system every single person at your institution touches. Every student, every lecturer, every room, every week. When it is right, nobody notices. When it is wrong, everybody knows within the hour — and the timetabling office absorbs the blame for constraints it did not choose and decisions it did not make.
We have spent twenty-five years inside that problem, working alongside the people who carry it. We are not here to sell you a scheduling engine and disappear until renewal. We are here to help you get through the cycle, and then the next one.
That matters more in this market than in most, because the alternatives keep vanishing. Scientia's Syllabus Plus was absorbed into an enterprise suite and its brand no longer has a website. Semestry is being folded into its parent. Lantiv's entire marketing presence is now a single page. Choosing a timetabling system is a ten-year commitment, and it is fair to ask who will still be answering the phone. We are independently owned, still the same team, and still shipping.
Why institutions choose us over the alternatives
We publish our starting price. Almost nobody in this market does — the standard approach is to gate every number behind a sales call. Licensing is per independent timetable, with unlimited users, unlimited desktop installations and no per-student fee. See the full pricing model.
Support is part of the licence rather than a tier you upgrade into: a named account manager, a tracked help desk, a 24-hour response target, and second-line issues answered by the developers who wrote the code. We would rather state those specifics than claim our support is the best, which every vendor claims and no buyer believes.
And the system is genuinely low-maintenance once running. We call it IT-less: the server and our team handle operations, so your IT department is not drawn into day-to-day scheduling. Administration staff run it themselves.
