Timefold raises $13M for scheduling optimisation APIs
Timefold raised $13M to scale scheduling optimisation APIs for enterprise software teams.
Scheduling looks simple until real-world constraints arrive. Timefold is building optimisation infrastructure for teams that need schedules to actually work in production.
What happened
Timefold raised a $13M Series A led by Alstin Capital, with participation from Kompas VC, Lakestar and Smartfin.
The company provides vehicle routing and shift scheduling APIs that software teams can embed into enterprise applications.
Why it matters
This is a strong developer-infrastructure story.
AI can generate plans, but real-world scheduling needs deterministic optimisation across labour rules, skills, travel time, service levels and disruptions. Timefold gives developers infrastructure for those constraint-heavy workflows.
The bigger picture
The most useful AI-native enterprise tools may combine language interfaces with hard optimisation engines underneath. In operations-heavy industries, correctness matters as much as convenience.
