Red chips mean the travel between visits won't fit. Try Fix travel times — then run Auto-schedule.

Under the hood

Not borrowed intelligence — an engine we built

"AI" gets attached to almost anything now, so to be clear: this isn't a generic chatbot with a scheduling prompt bolted on. It's a purpose-built engine we built for home care.

Built by us, for care

We engineered the scheduling engine ourselves, around the constraints of home care — travel, time windows, availability and continuity — rather than adapting a general-purpose model after the fact.

Nothing critical outsourced

The intelligence isn't rented from a third-party service that could change, slow down or disappear. It stays fast, consistent and fully inside the platform you already trust.

Predictable every time

It works to the rules you set rather than improvising, so the same visits and the same rules produce a schedule you can rely on — not a different guess each run.

How it works

Five things it does while you wait

Press Auto-schedule and Skedulr weighs thousands of who-goes-where combinations, then hands you a finished rota — low travel, the right carers, ready to approve.

1

Gathers the day

Reads every visit that needs covering and every carer who's available, with their working hours and availability.

2

Works out travel

Estimates real travel time between each address — minimised across the whole rota so carers spend less time on the road.

3

Keeps every time window

Places each visit inside the window it needs to happen in, rather than just packing the day as tightly as possible.

4

Protects continuity

Favours keeping each client's regular carer, because familiar faces and trust are central to good home care.

5

Optimises routes

Orders each carer's visits to cut travel, then hands you a finished proposal to review.

…and it schedules to your rules

Five settings shape every run — set them once to match how your service works.

What you get

Smarter rotas, without the headache

Auto-Scheduling isn't a black box. It's a fast, transparent assistant that does the heavy lifting and leaves the decisions with you.

Places every visit

Dozens of unassigned visits sorted into a complete, conflict-free day in one click — no manual drag-and-drop, no gaps left behind.

Travel-time aware

Built on real travel times between addresses and minimised across the whole rota. Travel chips show the time between visits — and flag any that won't fit.

Continuity of care

Favours each client's regular carer, so they keep seeing familiar faces. You decide how strongly to weight it against shorter travel.

Carer availability

Only schedules carers when they're actually available, respecting working patterns and leave. And if a carer goes on leave with visits already booked, it can reassign those visits to others.

You stay in control

Nothing changes until you accept. Review the proposal, tweak anything, or discard it entirely — the AI proposes, you decide.

Publish in a couple of clicks

Once you're happy, publish to carers' apps per person, per day or for the whole week — they only ever see what's confirmed.

The morning rota scramble, gone

What used to take a coordinator the best part of a day — dragging visits around a grid — now happens while they read their emails.

The AI proposes. You decide.

Continuity versus travel is the central tension in home-care scheduling — keeping a client's regular carer can mean more driving; sending the nearest carer can break continuity. Skedulr lets you set that balance once, then optimises every rota to it. And it never changes anything on its own: it builds a proposal, shows you exactly what it suggests, and waits.

  • Set the balance once — how hard to cut travel versus how strongly to keep each client's regular carer.
  • Review every proposed visit before anything is committed to the rota.
  • Accept the whole schedule, adjust individual visits, or discard and start again.
  • Drag a visit or reassign a carer by hand and travel times recalculate instantly.
