The Untis alternative that runs on your school data
Untis is a serious timetabling product with a long track record and strong substitution management. The friction for most schools is that it holds its own copy of teachers, classes and rooms, separate from the platform where those records actually live. Edukali Time Table solves the same constraints against the data already in your school, then keeps the published timetable answerable.

How is cover handled?
Assigned against the same constraints, with the affected teachers and classes notified automatically.

Does it work offline?
No, it is cloud-based.
