The story in one minute
1The problem

TIC organisations plan thousands of audits and inspections a year against accreditation rules that live in spreadsheets and planners' heads.

2What ScheduleAI does

ScheduleAI holds those rules as rules and plans every visit against them: competence, accreditation, windows, rotation, impartiality and travel.

3What changed

A global certification body scheduled 49,000 audit-hours in 12 minutes. Planning the same work had taken a month.

01Why TIC scheduling is hard

Every visit has to pass a rulebook before it reaches a calendar.

01

Every scheme has its own rulebook

ISO/IEC 17021-1, ISO/IEC 17065, ISO/IEC 17020 and each scheme owner set their own windows, competence and rotation rules. General scheduling tools know none of them.

02

Competence is narrow and it expires

IAF codes, food categories, inspection disciplines and technical areas, each with qualifications that lapse. One wrong match is an accreditation finding.

03

The plan changes every day

Cancellations, access problems, urgent work and sick days. Re-planning by hand eats the planners' week and pushes work to subcontractors.

03The standards behind TIC scheduling

Your accreditation rules, held as rules.

04How it chooses

Rules first. Then the best plan.

Options that break a rule are set aside before anything is ranked, and every allocation is logged with the rule that allowed it.

Must pass

  1. ✓Competence, scheme codes and accreditation valid on the audit dates
  2. ✓Inside the window, due date or certificate expiry
  3. ✓Impartiality, conflicts of interest and rotation respected
  4. ✓Auditor available: leave, public holidays and travel blockers
  5. ✓Within capacity and travel limits

Then ranked by

  1. 1Internal auditors before subcontractors
  2. 2Nearby visits grouped into one trip
  3. 3Workload balanced across the team
  4. 4Preferred dates and preferred auditors
05Measured on customers' own data

07FAQ

Questions TIC organisations ask

What is TIC scheduling software?

Software that assigns auditors, inspectors and assessors to audits and inspections and places each on a date, while checking the rules a testing, inspection or certification body must follow: competence, accreditation, windows, rotation, impartiality and travel.

Which TIC organisations use ScheduleAI?

Management-system and food-safety certification bodies, inspection bodies and accreditation bodies, from national bodies to global groups planning tens of thousands of audit-hours.

How is it different from a general scheduling tool?

General tools book time in calendars. ScheduleAI knows TIC rules: IAF codes, scheme approvals, certificate windows, rotation and impartiality. It sets aside any option that breaks a rule before ranking the rest, and records why each person was chosen.

How does AI help with TIC scheduling?

The AI does the search. It weighs thousands of possible allocations against your rules and preferences in minutes and explains each choice. Planners stay in charge and approve every plan.

Does it replace our ERP or certification platform?

No. Your ERP keeps the programme and the record. ScheduleAI connects through a REST API and webhooks, with a pre-built Intact integration and Outlook calendar sync, and writes the result back.

Is it secure enough for accredited bodies?

ScheduleAI is ISO/IEC 27001 certified, GDPR compliant and hosted in AWS Ireland, in the EU. Every allocation is logged with the rule that allowed it, for your own records and for your accreditation body.

How do we start?
