🎓 The Challenge

With over 22,000 students, 2,000 instructors and 5 campuses, theUniversité de Montpellier Paul-Valéry was faced with a paradox: teams were experiencing overcrowding and a lack of available space... while many classrooms remained unoccupied.

Complex coordination between departments, ghost reservations, overbooking, a lack of visibility... the situation was no longer sustainable, and it was becoming urgent to regain control of the campus.

To break the cycle, they decided to shift their approach, moving from fragmented room booking to a smart timetablng strategy powered by ADE Campus.

And it completely changed the game.
