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.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Resource Guru?

It is the only software we have found that works well in the service business. Some software is very involved and doesn't help to schedule. This helps with billing and scheduling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

I would like to see other views, like in calendar format as well. We want to hand out a calendar to each staff member so they have a better idea of their weekly schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to print to pdf and give to crew members to go about their work schedules. We are much more productive than we were without resource guru! There are more expensive resources out there, but none that we found as useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Janice

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru!

Did you know that you can invite your team to join your Resource Guru account at no extra cost? They can then see their bookings on their own personal Dashboard, either by day or by week, and this means you wouldn't have to manually notify them of their commitments. Just click on their profile in the Resources section and if they're not already invited, click "Invite" as shown here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942106-inviting-people-into-your-account

Also, invited people receive a daily schedule email so they always know what they have coming up, and they can sync their Resource Guru bookings with an external calendar such as Outlook of Google Calendar; making it super easy for them to get a day/week/monthly view of what's booked in for them. You can learn more here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/collections/38230-little-tips#dashboard

I hope this helps! If you have any questions at any point, please don't hesitate to reach out; we're always really keen to help :)

Happy scheduling!

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Tanja

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru! It's great to see that Resource Guru is really helping you and your team :)

In regards to the calendar sync feature; this is a personal setting, so people can only sync or unsync their own calendars. But if you don't want to see other people's synced calendar events on the schedule you can easily hide them by using the setting shown here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/6705407-hide-or-display-external-calendar-events-on-the-schedule

I hope this helps, but please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. I'm always happy to help!

Thanks,

Kat

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

Guru is a great tool for viewing how your colleagues are assigned and help you to plan and organize common sessions with them and customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

Maybe the ability to do changes directly to the tool from users and not to dedicated person. In our company, this option is available only for a specific team, I prefer to do changes for vacation/training/personal absences, etc directly without waiting for others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With multiple Project Managers working with a consultant team, is important that all of them has a view about what are the assignations to consultants and decide a good assignation based on balance, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Nelson

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru :)

It sounds like you might not have sufficient permissions to make the changes in your team's account that you're hoping to make, but if you speak to an Administrator in the account they'll be able to increase your permissions if required. That way, you won't need to wait on other people in order to make changes in the account.

I hope this helps! If there's anything else we can do for you please just let us know :)

Happy scheduling!

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Resource Guru?

With the new tentative booking feature, it's not even easier to log what I've worked on. It's just two clicks. Resource Guru has always been one of the best tools I've had to use at my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

It's still a bit tricky to do half-day booking. I wish there were maybe a way to "zoom in" to a single week and view it as a calendar so that you can drag bookings on a per-hour basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Resource Guru to keep track of what project each of our employees has been working on, and for how long, so we know how much to bill each client. It also helps us keep track of leave applications and who is on leave when. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Choy

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru! I'm pleased to say that you can zoom in and out of the schedule using the zoom setting shown here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942101-zooming-in-and-out. We also have plans to support further zoomed in and zoomed out views, but you can use your browser zoom setting for additional control in the meantime, if required.

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, but please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. I'm always happy to help!
