A spreadsheet organises data. A solver checks combinations.

There is no need to replace a method that works. A change makes sense when checking every adjustment costs more effort than maintaining structured school data.

When a spreadsheet is enough

A spreadsheet may suit a few groups, independent resources and a stable week. It helps collect information and share a draft. The workload grows when each adjustment requires checking teachers, rooms and groups across many sheets.

A clear layout is not the same as complete validation. Write an explicit checklist and apply it to the same example in both the spreadsheet and the generator you are evaluating.

Test the change without losing control

Prepare representative data, keep the original file and check the import. Evaluate whether you can express your rules, understand warnings, inspect changes and produce the outputs you need.

Kaselles focuses on generating and adjusting local academic timetables. It does not replace all school administration software. Check current pricing and generation limits on the main page rather than relying on old articles. We do not publish competitor comparisons that have not been verified.
