Omniscol values

The best tool, accessible to all

Our mission is to save institutions time so they can focus on what matters most: teaching and supporting learners. Our pricing adapts to real-world constraints, making the platform accessible regardless of size or country.

Excellence

Omniscol has optimization, efficiency and accessibility in its genes. Excellence is our compass. Our goal is to produce the best tool on the market.

Co-creation and innovation

The Omniscol project was built around an innovative idea, that of simplifying and accelerating the generation of timetables, even the most complex, all online, but was above all co-constructed with dozens of headmasters, head teachers, and teachers in charge of planning, all over the world. Your suggestions are always welcome! It is our compass for innovation.

Openness

Your data belongs to you. Omniscol is a platform whose APIs are accessible so that you can integrate it into your information system as simply as possible, to export or save your data regularly. All data is in JSON text format, easy to read even for a non-expert.

Security

Security is an important concern of Omniscol. For example, your passwords are hashed several times before being stored. All exchanges are encrypted. The most critical operations require re-entering the administrator password. Teachers and learners never have access to operations reserved for administrators. If you forget to log out of your administrator session on a computer, the session will expire after 30 minutes of inactivity.
