TTMaker scheduling software is ideal for automatically creating clash-free schedules for your corporation. TTMaker will work for scheduling a corporate event or conference, and for seminars, and any other complex business scheduling, including staff, meeting and personal services scheduling.

For other scheduling, return to our home page or select from education, festivals, training, or scheduling for anything else.

What does TTMaker do? Put simply, TTMaker automatically schedules groups of people. It can schedule individual people or groups of 10, 20, 50, 100, ... people. TTMaker is clash-free scheduling software. "Clash-free" means that no person is scheduled in more than one place at the same time. TTMaker automatically ensures that your completed schedule is clash-free; you don't have to manually prevent clashes, or manually fix them after the schedule has been built. Clash-free scheduling is important for most corporate applications.

TTMaker is so flexible that you can use it for almost any imaginable scheduling application. Here are some ways a small or large corporation might use TTMaker:

• You have several work teams and some people are in more than one team. You need to schedule the teams throughout the day to achieve work goals.
• Your company takes recruits each year. These recruits (we call this intern scheduling) need to spend time in several departments of your organisation to gain an understanding of your business.
• Your company provides a variety of personal services and your customers elect several services at each visit. You need to schedule your customers for the services they require.
• You are organising a conference and you need to schedule the attendees into several topics and meetings covered at the conference.

How do I use TTMaker?

For scheduling purposes, TTMaker uses the terms "participant", "group" and "venue". Here's what they mean:

Participant

Any person that needs to be scheduled. TTMaker ensures that each participant is scheduled to be in only one place at a time.

Group

TTMaker schedules groups into the timetable. A group can contain many participants as members of the group. You can also have a group of one person.

Venue

Usually a physical location such as a room. This is where the groups will be scheduled. Typically, you'll have many venues.

Here are the typical steps you'd take to use TTMaker for creating a corporate schedule:

1. Enter your people as TTMaker participants. To save typing, you can use TTMaker's powerful import facility if you already have this information in electronic form.
2. Create a TTMaker group for each group of people you need to schedule. Add the participants as members of the groups in which they participate.
3. Create your rooms or other locations as TTMaker venues.
4. Create the days and timeslots for your schedule. TTMaker has extremely flexible features for day and timeslot definitions.
5. Click the "Build timetable" button to automatically generate your clash-free timetable.

What else can TTMaker do for me?

Our scheduling software provides many powerful features to give you control as your timetable is automatically built.

Here are some of the things you can do:

• Control which venues your groups can be scheduled into by creating your own definition. We call these "styles". For example, you could give all your assembly rooms the style "Assembly" and all your assembly teams could then be restricted automatically to the assembly rooms.
• Control how many times a group is scheduled in your timetable. Also, you can control how many times a group is scheduled in each day.
• Provide availability information to control when groups are available for scheduling in each day.
• Provide availability information to control when individual participants are available for scheduling in each day.
• Control how many consecutive timeslots a group requires when it is scheduled.
• Use powerful venue rules to control the way groups are scheduled in a venue's timeslots.
