Import
Bring in teaching groups, subjects, teachers, rooms and lesson requirements without recreating the school from scratch.
Built for Singapore schools
Timetabling and relief planning without the spreadsheet maze.
Archfile brings school schedules, teaching groups, staff, rooms and constraints into one planning workflow, so planners can automate routine work and focus on the exceptions that need judgement.

Explainable planning
Know why a conflict exists.
Relief planning
Cover absences with context.
Designed around the real structure of school operations:
Form classes
Teaching groups
Subject levels
Shared staff
Rooms & venues
Semester changes
One planning workflow
From school data to a workable timetable.
Archfile structures the planning process so data, constraints, solver output and human review stay connected.
02
Generate
Apply hard constraints and school preferences, then generate schedules that aim for feasibility, continuity and minimal movement.
03
Review & publish
Surface conflicts and trade-offs for planners, preserve working versions, and publish the timetable once decisions are made.
What Archfile handles
Built for the operational work around the timetable.
Timetable generation
Model teaching groups, lessons, teachers, rooms and constraints in one place.
Explainable review
See which constraint caused a problem and where planner judgement is required.
Relief planning
Handle daily absences and suitable coverage with the underlying timetable context available.
Version management
Keep working versions, compare changes and avoid losing a stable timetable while replanning.
Data import
Start from existing school structures and semester data instead of maintaining another disconnected master list.
Teacher access
Give staff a clear, mobile-friendly view of schedules, changes and relief instructions.
Designed around actual school operations
The hard part is not drawing boxes on a grid.
School timetables become difficult when people, classes and curriculum requirements interact. Archfile is designed around those interactions.
Whole-class and split teaching groups
Represent form classes and subject teaching groups separately, including cross-class and differentiated subject arrangements.
Shared teachers and constrained venues
Account for staff availability, specialist rooms, shared resources and competing lesson requirements.
Semester and mid-year changes
Support clean semester versions so changes can be introduced without corrupting the prior working schedule.
Minimal-disruption replanning
When something changes, prioritise keeping the rest of the timetable stable rather than needlessly reshuffling everyone.
Human decisions at the edge cases
Automation handles the repetitive search space. Planners remain in control when trade-offs require school-specific judgement.
Implementation
Configured around your school, not the other way around.
We start with the school's existing data and operating rules, validate the model with planners, then move into a controlled rollout.

About Archfile
Singapore-built software for school operations.
Archfile is developed and operated in Singapore by Mesograde Technologies Pte. Ltd. We build practical software around operational workflows where off-the-shelf tools leave too much manual coordination behind.
For schools, that means combining a modern user experience with the data model, planning logic and support needed for real timetable operations.
