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?

Easy access to the system

I use scheduling most of the time, so filtering the system is good - saves time looking for your team

Easy to add in training modules into my colleagues calendars

Easy and flexible to edit a resource

Resource Guru allows the pick list to be extended as and when necessary

Dashboard allows me to see my own calendar and which team members are on annual leave Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

It doesn't allow you to save frequently used templates - which would be good.

It would be good if it interacted with Microsoft Outlook, I can see the calendars side by side, but that's about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allows our management teams to report easily on our weekly time keeping, and compile statistics on where we spend our resource time. Gives an overall picture quickly on different team activities and how resource is being used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

How you can efficiently see in one glance the state of what's on your resource's plates and easily drag / drop and move about items. I use it hourly let alone daily, it has helped with both immediate detailed short term planning and long-term pipeline planning to see where the gaps are.

Big fan of the use of colours and how you can colour code the system by task type or client, completely custom to how you want it to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

That you can't reorder your team, I have implemented a numbering system so that it isn't by the default alphabetical order. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allow an easy overview to manage demand and supply, allowing us to know when the gaps are available to book next projects in with the correct resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Resource Guru of Resource Guru

Hi there

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review of Resource Guru! :)

That’s correct, at the moment using numbers is the best way to reorder your team. Although I’m pleased to share that we’re considering making it easier to re-order people in the future: we welcome you to visit our Product Portal and let us know how important this enhancement is to you - this helps as we prioritise what gets worked on next: https://portal.productboard.com/u3wdgytlr9dhqrdkzqf46ybi/c/48-more-flexibility-with-how-people-resources-are-sorted-in-the-schedule

Thanks,

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

The way you can filter in so many different ways. We have a team of ~90 and I can quickly filter down to my exact team for an precise project in a few clicks. The colour combos are great for quickly seeing what's on the schedule. I like the schedule vs dashboard viewing options too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

In the emails seeing holiday is quite uneseccary for me everyday maybe a weekly view on holidays would be better. This might jsut be for the size of our team however. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Team management, resource management, holiday bookings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Resource Guru?

The best aspect of Resource Guru is how easy it is to see where your resources are allocated at any time, and instantly see resource availability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Resource Guru?

It would be beneficial to our use to have email notifications sent to resources for all actions, from when a job is booked, to any edits, to any deletion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

As our resources grew with the company expanding, we needed a tool for managing our resource capacity effectively. Resource Guru provided this. Guru allowed much clearer, and more efficient, control of our resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Keith

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review here :)

Each team member can opt-in to receive email notifications eg. when new bookings and time off events are created for them or when their existing bookings and time off events are updated (whether they are the booker, or the person who has been booked). Please feel free to share the following link with your team to manage their email notification preferences: https://help.resourceguruapp.com/en/articles/2942114-managing-email-notifications

I hope this helps, but please let us know if there’s anything else we can do for you at any point. We’re always happy to help!

Thanks,

Dana
