Feature Requests

Today Timefold supports travel by car (or other OSRM profile but only one). For some use cases certain employees travel on foot and/or public transport while other travel by car. Ideally the system also helps deciding who will travel on foot and who better travels by car but this could be an extension later on.

This is a request to make validation errors returned by the FSR model structured and machine-readable. Currently, error messages are text descriptions that vary in format depending on the error type, making them hard to parse programmatically. Customers would like identifiers (e.g. the IDs of the objects causing the error) and other relevant details to be available as separate fields in the error object, instead of being embedded in human-readable strings.

This is a request to make validation errors returned by the ESS model structured and machine-readable. Currently, error messages are text descriptions that vary in format depending on the error type, making them hard to parse programmatically. Customers would like identifiers (e.g. the IDs of the objects causing the error) and other relevant details to be available as separate fields in the error object, instead of being embedded in human-readable strings.

Investigate whether we can expand travelTimeAdjustment with geocode information to configure the adjustment for a certain (e.g. London) area instead of over all.

This is a request for the FSR model to support defining coverage areas per technician/vehicle. Technicians will only be assigned visits in their coverage areas.

This request is to allow configuring traffic impact on various dimensions (time, region etc) to adjust expected travel time for known traffic impact.

This is a request to make it possible to see details on the shifts that are left unassigned when looking at a solved Employee Shift Scheduling problem.

Allow bearer tokens as authentication method on webhooks

The Timefold Cloud Platform at app.timefold.ai is hosted in the EU, see https://timefold.ai/terms . For US-centric customers, an instance of the Timefold Cloud Platform fully hosted in the US would also be useful.

This is a request to make it possible to define available inventory for resources used for jobs. Inventory may be global or on a resource (machine...) There may be replenishment jobs that refill consumables Jobs may use consumables and therefore reduce the inventory of consumables
