About Bell Path
Bell Path runs the school day for Australian primary schools. When a teacher is away, Daily Cover lists every lesson and yard duty that needs covering, suggests covering staff from the term's fairness count, records planning time taken and time in lieu owed, and texts a booked relief teacher (CRT) one link to a day sheet with times, rooms, duties and the class plan. The same day runs the yard duty roster (built in Bell Path or loaded from the school's own file), wet day plans, the education support timetable, event timetables, an operations calendar and a staff portal. It all runs on the school's timetable: Bell Path loads the one a school already has within 48 hours, or builds one around planning time in each state's terms (APT, RFF, NCT, DOTT, NIT), part-time teachers, job-shares, specialist rotations, meetings and rooms. Built in Australia for primary schools only, with servers in Australia. It runs alongside Compass, Sentral and CASES21.

Smootables
Smootables is an AI-powered cloud platform for school year planning and automatic timetabling. Schools model academic years, courses, teachers, rooms, and student groups in one workspace, then generate period timetables with a constraint solver. Pre-generation validation flags missing data and impossible workloads before a solve runs, and typed infeasibility reports explain why a timetable cannot work and what to change. Planners keep control with drag-and-drop editing, pinning, branches, undo, and an AI planner assistant.
- School year and multi-year academic planning in one model
- Constraint-solver automatic timetable generation (CP-SAT)
- 13 pre-generation validation checks before any solve
- Typed infeasibility reports with concrete fixes (13 conflict causes)
- Always-enforced hard constraints and 6 configurable soft preferences
- Waiting area for unplaceable lessons; partial-timetable recovery
- Drag-and-drop editing, swap, split, pin, undo/redo
