Dots & Lines Ltd.

What Dots & Lines Ltd. does

Dots & Lines Ltd. is a Zagreb, Croatia-based private limited company that builds mathematical models and optimisation algorithms deployed as AI-superpowered scheduling and transportation software. The firm was founded and operates with a 5-person team led by CEO Goran Molnar, PhD, and is registered at Ulica Ivana Zahara 3, 10000 Zagreb, with share capital of approximately €2,654.

The core product line comprises three offerings: (1) AI-Superpowered Calendars, a scheduling engine that generates complete workforce schedules with a single click while satisfying labour law, internal regulations, and business objectives; (2) Workforce Scheduling & Optimisation, applied to air crew rostering, education timetabling, and meeting scheduling for government and small businesses; and (3) Transportation Optimisation Software, covering vehicle routing, train/truck/ship optimisation, and intermodal solutions. The technology stack is built on in-house proprietary optimisation algorithms and metaheuristics rather than third-party ML models or foundation models, and the company processes structured operational data (shifts, routes, labour rules) to produce constraint-satisfying outputs.

Dots & Lines operates a sales-led, consultative go-to-market model, selling tailor-made AI and optimisation solutions to enterprise clients with complex scheduling and transportation challenges. Revenue is generated through a mix of bespoke professional services (custom development, consulting, implementation guidance) and likely subscription or licence fees on the deployed optimisation software. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the website funnels prospects through a single 'LET'S CONNECT' contact form, and the company claims enterprise clients in Australia, Norway, USA, and Switzerland despite its Croatian headquarters. The firm holds no disclosed patents, partnerships, funding rounds, or institutional investors in the source material.

Broad incumbents

• ADP: ADP is a large incumbent provider of workforce management, time-and-attendance and scheduling software used by enterprises of all sizes. It is comparable to Dots & Lines as a broad incumbent in workforce scheduling, though ADP sells productised offerings rather than bespoke optimisation.
• Workday: Workday is a leading cloud HCM platform with embedded workforce scheduling capabilities serving large enterprises globally. It is comparable to Dots & Lines as a broad incumbent whose suite increasingly absorbs the kinds of optimisation problems Dots & Lines solves bespoke.
• Trimble Transportation: Trimble offers a broad transportation and fleet management suite that includes routing, dispatch and telematics for logistics operators. It is comparable to Dots & Lines as a broad incumbent in transportation optimisation, especially for intermodal and truck routing.
