The business problem

A multi-location education organization needed to apply course durations, instructor availability, location requirements, and overlapping-program constraints consistently while preserving staff judgment.

What we implemented

26 Pins translated recurring rules into a scheduling tool. Authorized staff can define rules, generate drafts, review conflicts, adjust schedules, and prepare standardized outputs.

What changed

Scheduling knowledge is captured in a repeatable workflow. Staff retain control over final decisions and can review proposed calendars through a more structured process.
