About us

JDR Software is one of the leading providers of class allocation and timetable distribution solutions in the world.

Our Best-of-Breed PLUS Suite solution brings together our world-class allocation solution (Allocate Plus), timetabling solution (Schedule Plus) and ad-hoc resource booking solution (Rooms Plus) into a tightly integrated and easy to use product suite.

PLUS Suite products are all SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions. Therefore our clients only have to concern themselves with the easy integration through the use of our proprietary API Framework.

With a single, annual, all-inclusive subscription fee, our clients receive:

  • Application support (including functionality and general timetabling advice)
  • Australian technical support (Level 1 through Level 4 support with access to a 24x7 support hotline)
  • Licensing
  • Hosted infrastructure (at a Tier 1 hosting provider such as AWS)

In addition, clients receive value-added services such as training for new staff, free attendance at the annual User Group Conference.

Our company philosophy is one of collaboration and our aim is a true partnership with our clients. We work with our clients on with tasks that help them utilise our products allowing them to gain insights beyond their core application.

We are proud of the reputation we have in the industry, with many of our clients providing positive feedback on the value we add in addition to the service we provide. In addition, we are consistently told by parts of the university that we don’t regularly work with and by Third-Party vendors alike, that our reputation as a vendor-partner is second to none.

"We often feel like JDR is a part of our internal team, as opposed to an external product supplier"

about us

Our History

Allocate Plus was always intended to integrate with the leading Student Management Systems and timetabling products available in the market. Over time, we came to understand where there were limitations with existing timetabling systems.

Continuing our mantra of delivering on our client requests, JDR Software started development on a new timetabling solution and Schedule Plus was born, being released as part of the PLUS Suite in 2021.
