See the result on your own timetable before you commit.
We rebuild a term you have already timetabled, from your own data, and compare it with the timetable you published: clashes, room use and preferences met. You decide on evidence, not on a sales presentation.
What your institution receives.
Everything you need to answer one question with confidence: would TimelyNodes produce a better timetable than the one you have?
Your term, solved
A complete timetable for the term you choose, built from your rooms, modules, staff and enrolments.
A side-by-side comparison report
Clashes, room utilisation and preferences met, measured against the timetable you actually published. Yours to keep, whatever you decide.
A private sandbox
Your own environment with your data loaded, so your timetablers can test the platform on real modules.
Influence over the roadmap
Pilot partners decide what is built next, including the integration with their own student records system.
How a pilot runs.
Four stages, each with a clear output. You can stop after any of them.
- Scope
Define the test
We agree the term, the departments in scope and what a better timetable means for your institution.
- Load
Load your data
We import your CSV exports into a private sandbox and confirm with you that the rules are captured correctly.
- Compare
Solve and compare
We solve the term and measure the result against the timetable you published.
- Decide
Review the findings
We present the comparison to your team. If the case is made, we plan a live term together.
What we need from your team.
A few hours of one timetabler's time, and no access to your systems.
Data you already produce
CSV exports of rooms, modules, staff and enrolments from one term. No system access is required.
Your rules, as you apply them
The written policies and the unwritten ones: who cannot teach when, which rooms suit which sessions, what departments ask for.
A named contact
One timetabler who can answer questions about the data and review the result with us.
Your data-protection review
We complete your institution's security questionnaire as part of the pilot. See security and data.
Pilots suit institutions that:
Build course timetables every year
For a faculty, a department or the whole institution.
Spend weeks on manual adjustment
Before publication, after it, or both.
Face a system decision
A contract renewal, a cloud migration or the end of on-premise support.
Want evidence before procurement
A result on their own data to put in front of a committee.
Pilot places are limited each timetabling cycle.
We work closely with each partner, so we take a small number at a time. Apply now to be considered for the next cycle.
