Solutions
Purpose-built flows for the people who actually run the school timetable.
Schedual is designed to show clearly who it helps, what parts of timetable work it supports, and where it can simplify school operations.
For IB Coordinators
Manage programme structure, subject setup, constraints, and schedule generation from a single workflow.
- Programme structure (DP / MYP / PYP) with subject group rules baked in
- HL/SL groupings, combined DP1+DP2 classes, TOK, EE, CAS
- Hard + soft constraints (teacher unavailability, room caps, no double-period after lunch…)
- One-click conflict detection + per-student schedule export
For School Leadership
Get better visibility over staffing, room usage, scheduling quality, and administrative readiness.
- Overview of staffing load, room utilisation, and gaps by week
- See schedule quality scores before publishing
- Audit log on every change — who moved what, when, and why
- Multi-scenario planning so you can compare two structures side-by-side
For Operations Teams
Reduce repetitive data handling across teachers, rooms, students, and class groups.
- Bulk-import teachers, rooms, students from Excel or PDF — AI handles the OCR
- Realtime sync: edits show up live for every admin viewing the schedule
- Per-student schedules, per-teacher schedules, per-room export to PDF / iCal
- EU-hosted, GDPR-aligned end-to-end (DPA available on request)
Common pain points
What Schedual fixes
Spreadsheet weekends rebuilding a schedule from scratch every term
Constraint solver generates a conflict-free draft in under a minute
Manual data entry of 200+ teachers / students / rooms each year
Bulk-import from Excel or PDF using Mistral OCR — review and confirm
Two coordinators editing the same schedule and overwriting each other
Realtime sync over Supabase Realtime — everyone sees the same state instantly
IB rules (HL/SL groups, TOK, EE, combined cohorts) shoehorned into generic timetabling tools
Native IB DP / MYP / PYP structure — programme + subject group rules baked in
Hard to share with parents and students without manual exports
One click per-student schedule PDF / per-teacher PDF / iCal feeds
School data going to US-hosted SaaS, GDPR headaches
EU-only hosting (France + Germany), public DPA + sub-processor list
Honest comparison
Schedual vs Untis
Most IB schools we talk to are either on Untis today or have seriously considered it. Here's how the two compare on the points coordinators actually care about. Untis is a competent general-purpose timetabler — but it wasn't built for IB.
| Criterion | Schedual | Untis |
|---|---|---|
| IB programme support | Native: HL/SL, Bilingual Diploma, shared DP1/DP2 teaching groups, TOK and EE built in. | Generic. IB-specific structures must be modelled manually with workarounds. |
| Per-student elective choices | Native. Each DP student picks 6 subjects with levels; the solver respects every individual choice. | Possible but requires extensive course-group setup; brittle when choices change. |
| Deployment | Modern web app. Multi-admin realtime sync. Nothing to install. | Desktop client (Windows) with online add-on. Single-user edits. |
| Hosting | EU (Montpellier, France). Self-operated hardware. Sub-processors listed publicly. | Austria. Cloud add-on hosted by third party. |
| Pricing | Transparent annual per-school pricing on the website. 30-day free trial. | Quote-based. School-by-school negotiation. No public pricing. |
| Support language | French and English, by the founders directly, same day. | German-first; English available; partner-driven outside DACH. |
| Data portability | One-click Excel / CSV export of every entity at any time. No lock-in. | Proprietary file format. Export possible but not one-click. |
| GDPR / DPA | Art. 28 DPA included. Public sub-processor list. EU-only data path. | DPA available on request. Cross-EU/UK processing depending on cloud add-on. |

How it flows
From import to published schedule
Import
Bulk-upload teachers, students, rooms, subjects from Excel / PDF. AI OCR extracts the rest.
Configure
Set constraints — teacher availability, room caps, subject groups, HL/SL pairings, lunch slots.
Generate
Run the solver. Get a conflict-free draft typically in 20–60 seconds for a full cohort.
Review
Drag-and-drop edits, conflict checker, multi-scenario comparison, audit trail.
Publish
Per-student / per-teacher / per-room PDFs + iCal subscription. Email blast in one click.
Side-by-side
Spreadsheet vs. generic SaaS vs. Schedual
Integrations & exports
Works with the tools you already use.
17 export targets out of the box — every modern SIS, every classroom platform, every calendar. One click downloads the right file format. We never lock you in.
File downloads
PDF, CSV, Excel, XML — generated on the fly from your active schedule. Schools paste them into their SIS.
OneRoster bundle
The IMS Global standard. PowerSchool, Canvas, Clever, Blackbaud, iSAMS and most modern SIS import it natively.
Calendar subscription
Teachers and class groups subscribe in Apple, Google or Outlook — schedule changes propagate automatically.
What schools get
Less friction in setup, review, and timetable coordination.
The aim is not to overload schools with noise. It is to give timetable teams a more focused workflow for the work they already need to do.
