Product Description

Resource Guru is scheduling and resource management software that helps busy teams keep projects on track.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Too often productivity tools are focused on tasks and not the people completing them. Resource Guru is the only resource management software that puts people first.

We give project managers and planners a clear understanding of who’s available and when – factoring in time off, individual working hours, competing workloads, external calendar events, and more. Our unique clash management system actively prevents double bookings and overtime, so employee workloads stay manageable, teams stay motivated, and projects stay on track. When the week is up, you can compare forecast hours to actuals using refreshingly quick-to-complete timesheets.

Resource Guru is also the only resource management software that lets you schedule people, equipment, and meeting rooms, all in one place. That means you can book everything you need for a project, in one simple drag-and-drop interface.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi there

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru :) I'm pleased to tell you that we do have plans to build more integrations in the future, but in the meantime you can create your own integrations using our API if you have some programming skills at your end. You can find all of the API documentation just here https://resourceguruapp.com/docs/api.

Alternatively we also have a Zapier integration which lets you connect Resource Guru with >5,000 other tools without the need for any programming capabilities. You can read about using the Zapier integration here https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942116-using-the-resource-guru-zapier-app

Can I suggest that you sign up for our newsletter in the footer of our homepage if you haven't already - http://resourceguruapp.com. That way we can keep you in the loop about new features and other news.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,

Kat

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

I like how tasks are organised in the calendar. Guru helps me daily to be up to date with the lessons that I have to perform. It is beneficial when it comes to organising work, and it helps me to be aware of the work of my colleagues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

Sometimes the daily emails with the information about the tasks assigned to me do not arrive correctly. It would be helpful to have a non-linear personal monthly calendar because sometimes it is difficult to have a broad perspective of the task calendar Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Maria

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru :)

I'm sorry to hear that you've had trouble with some of the daily schedule emails; when you say they have not arrived correctly, do you mean there's been some kind of formatting error with the email itself, or that some of the emails just haven't reached you? I'm really keen to dig into this so that any problems can be addressed, so I'd be grateful if you could send us a few more details via happytohelp@resourceguruapp.com so we can help you with it.

In regards to your personal dashboard, we currently offer a daily and a weekly view of your own bookings but I'm pleased to say that we have plans to redesign the Dashboard, so we'll take this feedback into consideration when we come to this :) Can I suggest that you sign up for our newsletter in the footer of our homepage if you haven't already - http://resourceguruapp.com. That way we can keep you in the loop about enhancements and other news.

I hope you'll find the time to drop us an email so we can help with the problem you've had, and if there's anything else we can do for you please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks again!

Kat

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru
(Original )

Hi there

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru :) I wanted to let you know that we do have firm plans to support deadlines in future, but in the meantime if you need to leave a note about a deadline (or anything else), this can be done in the Details section of a project or booking.

When it comes to notifications about new bookings; as well as sending a daily schedule email so users can see what they have booked for the day ahead, we also send emails to people when their bookings are created or edited. If you're not receiving these emails you may need to update your preferences in the Settings, as shown here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942114-managing-email-notifications.

I'm really sorry to hear that you haven't found Resource Guru to be particularly user friendly. We're always looking to improve so I'd love to understand more about which aspects you found difficult to use. If you can reach out on happytohelp@resourceguruapp.com so we can chat further, that would be great!

Thanks again for your review and I look forward to chatting soon,

Kat

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

Ease of creating bookings relative to other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

The search function could use more improvement it is a filter now but should be a free text search. There should be an auto refresh for other users edits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Resource Guru solving and how is that benefiting you?

Resource Guru allows us to manage a schedule for multiple resources that last from hours to months and span out as far as a year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi there

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru :) I wanted to let you know that you can enter text into the search bar in order to locate the resources/projects/clients you're looking for. When you click to filter in the Schedule, you'll find the search bar at the top of the filters window. Here's a walkthrough you might find useful: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942088-filtering-resources

In regards to an auto refresh, I'm pleased to say that if you leave the schedule open it will automatically update every 5 minutes, so you're always looking at the most recent changes.

I hope this helps, but please reach out if you have any questions - we're always keen to help!

Thanks,

Kat
