Optivice
Planned, optimized.

From weeks to hours.

… or minutes!

This is the result of Optivice's software-driven algorithms. Optimization powers planning: we turn time-consuming Excel marathons into highly efficient, automated processes.

From weeks to hours.

The engine

Optimization powers planning

Sophisticated optimization algorithms account automatically for mandatory (hard) and soft requirements – efficiently, promptly, and precisely.

  • Precise constraints

    Our algorithms weigh hard restrictions (e.g. room capacities or scheduling conflicts) and soft preferences (e.g. preferred times of day) with mathematical precision.

  • Efficient & prompt

    Planning iterations shrink from days to a few minutes. That lets you react flexibly to short-notice changes in operations.

  • Measurable quality

    Every result comes with a measurable quality score. You see exactly which requirements were met, and how well.

  • Benefit for everyone

    Building the perfect plan balances the needs of all stakeholders equally – for a smooth run.

Our roots

An award-winning bachelor's thesis becomes a business idea

What began as academic research at the university now transforms complex planning across educational institutions. Optivice was founded with a clear vision: to make mathematical optimization algorithms accessible as simple, practical software.

“Our goal was to replace the gruelling Excel marathon with a highly efficient, software-driven optimization sprint.”

Optivice Team

We built Optivice Exams because we saw how much effort and frustration goes into exam planning when it lives in a spreadsheet.

When you talk to us, you talk to the people who build the solution. If you have a question – or just feel like a conversation – drop us a line. A short email is plenty.
