Time is a company's biggest investment. Most teams plan it with a spreadsheet.
You set the rules. Soon does the math.
Scheduling is mathematically impossible for humans.
One team of 20. One week of shifts.
possible schedules. Exactly 2,432,902,008,176,640,000. That's 20 factorial. Roughly 2.4 quintillion arrangements of a single team, a single week.
And that's just who works when. Now add activities.
ways to arrange one 8-hour shift, hour by hour, with five possible activities per hour. That's 58. For one person. For one shift.
Now multiply them together.
Shifts ร activities across twenty people and a full week lands past 10500 arrangements. More than every atom in the observable universe, raised to the seventh power.
No human can hold that search space in their head, let alone with contracts, skills, preferences, fairness, and labor law layered on top.
So planners pick one arrangement, call it the schedule, and hope. That's guesswork dressed up as planning.
Soon does the math humans can't.
Scheduling saves time. Better scheduling creates it.
Planning a week takes hours. Working a week takes thousands. That's where the real time lives.
Twenty people. Eight hours. 220 working days.
paid working hours a year. The investment a company has already made.
One more effective hour per person per day.
hours recovered. Roughly 2.2 full-time people appearing from nowhere. Compounding every year, without a single new hire.
Compliance. Preferences. Communication. Speed. Every fundamental a scheduling platform is judged on, Soon takes seriously. None of it is small. The number above is what arrives once that's settled. The dividend of every decision being a little better, compounding across a team.
Three convictions shape everything we build.
The schedule is always better.
Constraint solvers find the mathematically optimal answer given your rules, your coverage, your team's preferences. Not an approximation. The best possible schedule, computed in seconds.
AI does the work.
Describe what you need. The assistant builds it. The solver does the math. Workflows handle the repetition. The planner stops typing and starts steering.
Quality you can feel.
Open Soon next to any other scheduling tool. It should feel like a different generation. Every feature crafted. Every flow considered. Complexity under the hood, clarity on the surface.
Powerful enough. Simple enough.
Two bad options. An enterprise WFM built for 500-seat contact centers, or a spreadsheet held together by hope. Soon is the middle, on purpose. See it in Soon vs Microsoft Teams Shifts and the full comparison index.
Legacy WFM
Built for 500-person contact centers.
Traditionally priced per agent. Six-month deployments. Training required before anyone can publish a schedule.
Spreadsheets & MS Shifts
Free. And everywhere.
Break the moment someone calls in sick. No solver, no compliance, no single source of truth.
Soon
Both. On purpose.
A real solver for compliance and fairness. An interface a team lead masters in an afternoon. Honest pricing, no procurement theater.
โCan't I just vibe-code this myself?โ Sure.
You probably can. The first version takes an afternoon. The cost hides in the next five years.
Scheduling is operations software. It runs before coffee and past midnight, through every sick call and every rush. That's not a place for code written by someone who might leave in six months, with prompts nobody else understands and edge cases nobody documented.
Your core isn't making scheduling software. Ours is. We use AI too. We go fast too. What we don't do is ship and walk away.
The moment of creation is the beginning of the responsibility, not the end of the project.
Teams where coverage matters. Every hour.
The desk that can't go unmanned. The clinic that opens at 8 whether Sarah called in sick or not. The queue that can't drop. Operations teams of ten to a few hundred, on the front line of a real business.
Soon does both halves of the job. Shifts: who works when. Activities: what each person does, hour by hour.

Founded by Alessandro Cardinali and Olaf Jacobson, who spent years watching operations teams fight their own tools and decided to build the answer.
Published pricing. Public roadmap. No enterprise sales theater.
