Originally, they worked on developing truck itinerary management software for mining companies.[2] It was only later that the company concentrated on developing software to manage crew planning (Altitude) and shift worker schedules (ShiftLogic). In 1999, the company was listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under AOP. With ShiftLogic, they later expanded their horizons into other industries including manufacturing, hospitality, and transportation, among others. In 2001, Ad Opt purchased Total Care Technologies to include staff scheduling in the healthcare industry to their product list. [3]In 2004, Ad Opt Technologies Inc. was acquired by Kronos Incorporated. This acquisition was part of Kronos' expansion into the field of employee scheduling optimization.[4] Kronos' Workforce Management software that schedules hospital employees and Ad Opt's ShiftLogic scheduling engines were going to be merged to create a more efficient product.[5] Today, Ad Opt's operational research team maintains close ties with GERAD and its teams by funding some of their research projects in the aviation scheduling domain.[6] ClientsSome of Ad Opt's clients include:[7]
