What Timetabling Solutions does

Timetabling Solutions is an Australian proprietary software company founded in 1984 and headquartered in Geelong, Victoria, with a regional office in Brisbane. The company develops and supports specialized scheduling software for K-12 schools, with documented use by over 1,000 schools globally and adoption by over 60% of independent schools in Australia. Its core product is Timetabling Solutions V10.1, a modular Windows desktop application (WPF/.NET) for constructing, managing, and publishing school timetables, including Student Options (elective allocation) and Timetable Development modules. The desktop platform is complemented by a suite of Azure-hosted cloud applications — Daily Organiser, Staffing, Course Manager, Preferences Manager (replacing the legacy Web Preferences Manager), and Daily Reports — accessed through a centralized Management Portal at timetabling.education, with SSO via OpenID Connect, SAML, and Simple SSO.

The company generates revenue through annual subscriptions (desktop V10.1 from AUD 3,995 initial / AUD 2,595 renewal; cloud modules from AUD 839 to AUD 1,698 each), a Service Support Agreement for maintenance and upgrades, professional Timetabling Construction Services where in-house experts build timetables for client schools, and instructor-led training courses delivered online and in Australian cities. Native integration with SIF and LISS interoperability standards plus 20+ bespoke exports to school administration systems (Compass, SEQTA, Sentral, TASS, Synergetic, XUNO, Edumate, iWise, ManageBac, Apple School Manager and others) positions the platform as an integration hub in school IT ecosystems. The company operates across Australia, New Zealand, China, UK, Malaysia, Vietnam, UAE, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea, with a specialist team of 34 staff including timetabling consultants, trainers, and software developers.

Ownership remains with the founding team — co-founders Michael Treacy (since 1984) and Paul Wood (since 1986), with Dennis Treacy as Director since 1995 — and the company has remained independent throughout its 40+ year history with no disclosed external private equity or venture capital investment. Co-founder family members (Treacy, Wood, Lunt, Hanson) hold multiple director, management, and operational roles, suggesting a family-influenced ownership structure.

Direct peers

• Edval Timetables: Edval is an Australian provider of school timetabling solutions with auto-construction capabilities and integration with major Australian SIS systems. It is the most direct domestic competitor to Timetabling Solutions, serving a similar K-12 independent school customer base in Australia and New Zealand.
• aSc Timetables: aSc Timetables provides school scheduling software used internationally across Europe, Asia, and beyond, with auto-construction algorithms. It competes head-to-head with Timetabling Solutions in global K-12 markets and offers similar clash detection and student options management.

Broad incumbents

• Compass Education: Compass is a leading Australian cloud-based school management platform covering administration, learning, and timetabling. It is one of the most strategic integration partners of Timetabling Solutions, and increasingly a competitive threat as it bundles scheduling features.
• TASS (The Alpha School System): TASS is an Australian school administration system used by independent and Catholic schools, with timetabling capabilities. It is a listed integration partner of Timetabling Solutions and a competitor for school-wide scheduling decisions.
• Sentral: Sentral is a major Australian K-12 school administration platform with scheduling, attendance, and reporting modules. It serves many of the same schools and competes with Timetabling Solutions in the integrated scheduling market.
• SEQTA: SEQTA is a learning management and student wellbeing platform widely used in Australian and New Zealand schools, with built-in timetable management. It is both an integration partner and a competitive threat as a broader SIS-adjacent solution.
• PowerSchool: PowerSchool is the largest North American K-12 SIS provider with growing international presence and integrated scheduling. While not directly competing in Australia today, it represents the long-term competitive threat from global cloud-native incumbents as Timetabling Solutions expands internationally.

Regional players

• iSAMS: iSAMS is a UK-headquartered school management information system serving British independent schools. It is a strong comparator for Timetabling Solutions' UK push and offers integrated timetable functionality for the same K-12 premium school market.
• SIMON Schools: SIMON is a school administration system widely deployed in Australian Catholic schools. It is an integration partner of Timetabling Solutions and represents both a distribution channel and a competing scheduling capability in the government/religious school segment.
• ManageBac: ManageBac is a curriculum planning and timetabling platform primarily serving international and IB schools across Asia, Middle East, and beyond. It overlaps with Timetabling Solutions' international school customer base and international footprint in markets like China, Vietnam, and UAE.
