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 ease of moving bookings between team members and editing tasks. It makes chopping and changing of schedules really straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

We haven't linked it to Teamwork yet but we'd like to one day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've have a small studio, 12 people, and ResourceGuru is the focus of our daily standups. The process around updating and scheduling gives our account and project management teams a structure to work in.

Its the centre point of our production process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

It is visually engaging for the team and allows an easy way to manage both individual and team-based schedules for all of our creative resources.

RG is perfect as a standalone solution whereby you do not require integration with other incompatible software models. ALL our designers find it super simple to use which, to be honest, is a huge win! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

Our challenge is booking outside of set hours. It's not always possible to reflect timesheet matching entries, where we need to use a different platform. It would also be helpful to assign group resources to a project rather than have to do it individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are now able to see all staff calendars and what projects/tasks are being booked on individuals days. It also enables us to pre-book in meetings as well as individuals showing when they themselves are in meetings and unavailable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

Visually impressive and with an easy drag and drop approach. Resources are easy to schedule and track. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

Not really a dislike, but i would ideally like to connect my data to services such as PowerBI, but this capability needs more technical knowledge than I can bring to the table.

i would also like to be able to forecast resource availability based on skills, but at the moment this is a manual task, or have projects that are needing to be progressed, but pending resource to be allocated (i.e. project resource shortfall) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Resource Guru provides me an instant view of where my team are assigned, when they are next free and for how long. I cannot get this with our internal tools and it makes forward planning my resource utilisation very straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Simon

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru :) I'd love to learn a little more about how you'd prefer to see overtime displayed within the app. We always listen to customer feedback, and if there's something we can improve on then we love to know about it! If you're open to sharing your thoughts, would you mind dropping me an email on happytohelp@resourceguruapp.com so I can share your feedback on this with the team here?

Thanks so much!

Kat

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

The 'Schedule' interface and the 'New Booking' tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

I don't dislike anything in particular; everything is really clear. It could be awesome if there was a way to book people automatically after talking to them because a lot of people forget to book the resources in Guru. But I don't think that could be possible... Maybe adding a reminder? I don't know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We can see the schedule of all of our resources, even those who aren't employees of Cossette/Septieme but who work for us a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Resource Guru of Resource Guru

Hi Isabelle

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us, we're happy to hear you're getting on well with Resource Guru :)

I'm afraid we don't currently send reminder emails out. We do send a daily schedule email to your resources to let them know what bookings they have for the day ahead, but this isn't something that would go out regularly to remind them.

That being said, we do have a API and a Zapier integration, so you may be able to create a DIY integration which sends email notifications to your team, if you have some technical capabilities at your end. You can find all of the API documentation via our Developer Center here https://app.resourceguruapp.com/developers/

and you can read about using the Zapier integration here https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942116-using-the-resource-guru-zapier-app

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,

Michelle

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Alberto

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru! Our calendar sync is currently one way, but I wanted to let you know that we do have firm plans to release a 2 way calendar sync in future. Can I suggest that you signup to our newsletter in the footer of our homepage (https://resourceguruapp.com/) if you haven't already? That way we can keep you in the loop on this and other new features :)

We love feedback as it helps to keep building a better and better app, so if you have any other questions or thoughts please don't hesitate to reach out. We're available directly via happytohelp@resourceguruapp.com.

Response from Kat Pattison of Resource Guru

Hi Ian

Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru! I wanted to let you know that if you have Edit All permissions for Bookings, you will be able to edit/remove bookings even if you are not the booker. I'd recommend speaking to an Administrator in the account if you need increased permissions, and they will be able to arrange it for you.

I hope this helps but please let me know if you have any other questions :)

Thanks,

Kat
