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 clean and concise layout allows you to really get an overview of the pipeline of work that you have coming up. It allows my team to identify possible areas where we may have conflict or clashes - or opportunities for team members with free blocks to partake in personal development which can be held accountable at all times.

The team filters are great for our 40 person team - it allows quick filtering to the required disciplines which are constantly updated. Allowing you to reach the people you need straight away.

I also find it a joy to use with the easy scrolling across and drag and drop feature - which makes moving and replacing time a breeze - the clear waiting list and overtime feature really brings the team members visibility on their upcoming weeks and flag and identify concerns early. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

I understand why Resource Guru has stuck to being the best at planning and the idea 'do what you do well and that should be enough'. But there is always a question of I wish it could do another core function of most agencies - most notably from our perspective time tracking, being able to marry up what has been resourced against tracked without using another 3rd party would make our use of multiple systems even cleaner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The pipeline of work - upcoming projects, clashes most importantly the requirement to upscale and having that discussion and time to make that decision early and what would be the most efficient and economical for that particular situation. Be that part-time, contract or another full-time employee.

Also, it does allow us to hold our resource accountable to our clients so they understand the time pressures as well as us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Michelle Florin of Resource Guru

Hi

Thanks for your feedback and taking the time to review Resource Guru :) I wanted to let you know that you can use the filters in the Schedule to find the resource you'd like to book without needing to scroll - just click on the "Search or filter" button on the left side of your Schedule. In regards to dynamic refreshing, the schedule does automatically refresh every 5 minutes but we do have plans to increase this frequency in the future.

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

Thanks,

Michelle
