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 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!

Thanks,

Kat

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

The options for coloring and the format of the software makes it incredibly easy to understand information at a single glance, with the option to learn more by clicking and expanding as needed. Additionally, there's a large variety of tags and filters that can be added and customized to fit any business model, such as sorting by skillset, project, site, date, pay period, type or scope of work, job title, or team. It's the only tool I have, when I'm assigned to a project, that I can use to see who else will be working with me, who has worked on this project in the past, how long the project has been ongoing, what the skills of my fellow team members are and what else they have worked on, how long I'll be on this specific project, and more, all within five minutes of opening Resource Guru. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

The filtering system could use a little work, as I cannot cross-filter different things without them being mutually exclusive (to my knowledge). If this is possible, it's not as readily apparent as it could be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Resource Guru:

Resource Guru is an amazing resource management and scheduling tool that utilizes the power of visual organizing and the convenience of shared work scheduling to keep everyone on the same page, informed, and ready to do their best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Resource Guru is the way I see where, when, and how much I work, as well as why I'm assigned certain projects and details about the projects themselves. It also shows me who else is with me and their skills and information, while also letting me know when we all work and have time off to facilitate easy scheduling within the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi James

Thanks for taking the time to share your review of Resource Guru - it's great to hear that you've been having such a positive experience with the app :)

You mentioned filters, so I just wanted to clarify what's possible. Just in case you're not already aware, you can create custom fields for your resources and this allows you to categorise them so it's easy to find the right person for the job, or to report on specific teams. Once you've added some custom fields you can filter using those fields in the Schedule (https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942088-filtering-resources) and in the Reports (https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942072-filtering-reports).

Multiple filters can be applied at the same time and you'll have the option to select Match Any or Match All on each filter. This means that if you have a custom field called "Skills" and you'd like to select various different options, you can choose whether results have to match all of the options you've chosen, or any of the options you've chosen.

You can also apply resource filters whilst filtering by project or client at the same time. And if you aren't already familiar with it, you might find this walkthrough on Grouping by project/client useful: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/5373171-group-by-project-or-client.

I really hope this helps! If you need any further info or would like to chat about your use case in more detail, please do drop us an email - we're always very happy to help :)

Thanks again and happy scheduling!

Hi Hans

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru!

The schedule is mobile optimised so you might be interested in adding it as a shortcut on your mobile device, as shown here: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/5466509-create-a-resource-guru-shortcut-on-your-mobile-device. That said, we do plan to offer dedicated mobile apps in future, so can I suggest that you sign up for our newsletter in the footer of our homepage if you haven't already - http://resourceguruapp.com.

It's great to hear your feedback, and I'm pleased to say that the Filters and Group By features will help you to find what you're looking for on the schedule and in the reports. If you're not familiar with these features you can learn more about them here:

Hi there

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us!

I'm pleased to say that we have firm plans to improve the Dashboard view in future, which would allow you to see bookings in a daily, weekly and monthly view. In the meantime, if you have access to the Schedule, you can view your bookings in a monthly way by using the using the Browser zoom together with the zoomed in view in the Schedule:

I hope this helps but if there's anything else I can do to help please just let me know.

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

Resource Guru enables us to manage several portfolios of projects simultaneously. It provides clear visibility for projects and resources making it easy to plan and allocate resources across projects. Consultants are able to use Resource Guru with little to no formal training - it's very intuitive. The few times we've needed customer service, Resource Guru has been responsive and helpful (thank you Kat). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

Litle to dislike. Filtering to customize reports works well. Having good information, however, leads to the next question leaving you wanting more information. Not a problem, but additional reporting would be great! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are managing three teams of consultants across five project portfolios. Project scheduling, especially around client demands, and maximizing resource utilization are two key objectives. Resource Guru helps us achieve both. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
