TimeEdit was established in Sweden in the mid 90’s by an astrophysicist making a timetabling application from an Excel sheet on crack. Since then, the system has been professionalised and developed further to arguably become the world’s most modern fleet of resource management tools for higher education institutions. As a leading SaaS company within Edtech we are now moving to redefine the future of Acedmic Operations.

Today, TimeEdit is a market leader in Europe and one of Scandinavia’s fastest-growing Edtech companies. On average, our customers spend 20% less on facilities, representing more than 4MEUR (!) in savings per year (yes, we’re pretty proud of that!). Less money spent on empty rooms means more resources allocated to research projects and higher education quality.

We recently celebrated our 200th customer and are growing fast through new exciting applications and a global roll-out. Today, more than seven hundred thousand students, teachers and schedulers use our products every day (yes, we’re pretty proud about that, too!).

Our office is located at Vondellaan in the heart of Utrecht.
