Testimonials

We chose Optimal Planning Solutions because they were able to best solve all of our complex issues as they relate to schedule-making. The company not only understood our unique requirements but also created a tool that greatly improves the timeliness of our scheduling process as well as the quality of the schedule.

Michael North, VP of Broadcast Planning

Creating Major League Soccer's game schedule is undoubtedly one of the most complex, challenging and important undertakings each year. Optimal Planning Solutions understood this from the beginning and helped simplify the process and maximize the schedule's potential whilst considering travel constraints, key match-ups, overall balance and much more. Optimal Planning Solutions were very responsive, thorough and service oriented. Major League Soccer gladly endorses Optimal Planning Solutions schedule making services as they are not fully satisfied until you are fully satisfied.

Brad Pursel, SVP, Media

The degree of complexity involved with producing the schedule is a mammoth task. To our surprise, none of our constraints or requests daunted Optimal Planning Solutions and within days we had a number of alternative schedules which more than exceeded our expectations. I would have no reservations at all about recommending the virtues of Optimal Planning Solutions to any other sporting organisation wrestling with the complexity of producing the best possible schedule to meet their specific requirements.
