Who this is for, and who it is not.

Both lists are real. The second one cost us three deals last year and saved us six refunds, which we consider a good trade.

Built for

  • A yard where the morning is decided at the gate

    Everything here starts from the board a crew reads in gloves. That is the whole design.

  • Two to twelve crews sharing constrained gear

    One crane, two yards, and a reshuffle that has to reach both — this is the case the scheduler was written for.

  • Anyone answering audits from memory

    Shifts close into a record you can quote, so a review stops being an archaeology project.

Not for

  • A single operator with a notebook

    You would spend more time telling Waylight what you are doing than doing it. The notebook is genuinely better.

    Come back at your third crew.

  • Anyone planning quarters rather than mornings

    Waylight has no opinion beyond about ten days out. It is an instrument for the shift, not for the budget.

    Keep your planning tool; we integrate with it.

  • A yard that needs the plan to be unarguable

    Ours prints its reasoning and invites the argument. If you want an instruction nobody questions, this is the wrong shape entirely.

    You want a dispatch system, not a scheduler.

If you are on the right and think we are wrong about you, say so — we have been wrong before, and we would rather hear it now than after you have paid.
