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.

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

The layout of Resource Guru is perfect for a quick overview of scheduling and project details. With Resource Guru I have full access to our customers, the current projects and particular team assignments. This makes things easier when attempting to schedule appointments, site visits and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

There is not much I could say I'm not a fan of with Resource Guru. If there was anything I would recommend changing it would be the coloring scheme associated with the app. In addition, I would recommend the development of an App considering the only way to access data is through a web browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The problem is solved with Resource Guru is having access to each team member's assigned projects to set up meetings, site visits, and more. This is very helpful with the planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Resource Guru of Resource Guru

Hi Marlon

I'm very happy to read your awesome feedback- thanks a lot!

I'm pleased to say that a dedicated mobile app is firmly on our roadmap, but in the meantime the Schedule is mobile optimised, so it's easy to keep track of and edit your schedule whilst using a mobile browser.

Additionally you can add Resource Guru as a shortcut to your phones home screen, so it only takes you one tap to open the app on the go. Please find walkthrough useful:

I hope this helps for now, but please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you!

Thanks,

Michelle

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

I like the possibility to manage multiple resources at the same time. It is very useful that availability bars are showing how many hours there are left for a given resource. But my personal favorite is colors that make my schedule cheerful. It is easy to manage resources and projects with Guru. Thanks to daily emails my team is always aware of the priorities for a given day. I would recommend it to everyone in need of a simple scheduling tool - I couldn't manage my day-to-day work without it and I think no prior training is required to use it - it is just so intuitive and user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

I would like to have a possibility to add public holiday information (a note?, a yellow dot reacting to the mouse pointer, and displaying the bank holiday info? I think something like this would be extremely useful). I mean something that would be visible in the Schedule - we have many clients in different countries with different bank holidays and it would facilitate scheduling of smaller pieces of work that are not agreed on in advance. Sometimes I book first and find out/am reminded of a bank holiday later on - including such information would solve this issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Resource Guru:

Say Yes to Guru! ;) It is worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Thanks to emails it is no longer required to remind my team what they have to do - they are reminded automatically. Also, by seeing all resources and their availability at once, I can equally distribute the workload per resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Sara

Thanks so much for taking the time to share your review of Resource Guru :) I wanted to ask if you were aware that public holidays can be added using our time off feature? You can learn more about this here https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942067-adding-time-off-sick-time-and-other-types-of-downtime.

If you're looking to make a note of when a client's public holidays are, you could add this information in the Notes section of their profile. You'll then be able to see this whenever you click on the client in the Schedule (or in the Clients section).

I hope this helps! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions; we can be contacted on happyothelp@resourceguruapp.com and we're always happy to help :)

Thanks,

Kat

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

Guru sinks with different calendars. I can click on the links within Guru calendar or other calendars to reach data linked to events.
