I'd like to be able to manage my team's notifications, as well as include more alerts in the Schedule view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's great and so easy to use. It's a big part of my working day as i'm using it constantly. You know what appointment or workload each member of staff is scheduled for and if you need to make amendments or personnel intergrations it's just a click of a button or a drag of the mouse away.

It means everyone knows their job requirements and any extra information can be loaded on to an engineer or personnels schedule for easy access and without the need to phone them every 5 minutes.

It also keeps track of any time off, public holidays and annual leave for each person on the diary.

And access to customer service is just as easy incase you need any additional support.

If you need to plan around new customers or put a new member of staff on the schedule, implementation is a doddle.

It makes working life a whole lot easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't think of anything I don't like about it. It really works well for us as a whole. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dashboard is easy to use, so it allows for quick updates and adjustments, preventing conflicts and ensuring optimal utilisation of both staff and equipment. The ability to see availability in real time has significantly improved our planning process, making it easier to stay organised and meet deadlines.

If we ever have any questions or suggestions for new features, the suport team is always on hand with lightning fast responses.

Overall, Resource Guru has become an essential tool in our workflow, streamlining our operations and enhancing productivity. We highly recommend it to any team looking for a smart, reliable, and user-friendly scheduling solution! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We don't find there to be many things to dislike about Resource Guru. We'd love the ability to create custom reports but with some data manipulation from the exports currently available, we can get the information we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once you get the hang of it, it becomes a great software where you can manage your team's schedule effectively. It's great that you can measure how much time was invested in certain projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes color categorization can be confusing.

It'd also be great if one could schedule long projects (projects that last for months or weeks), and have an option to not take into account weekends. Right the now, the alternative is to manually schedule the project week by week.

It's also a very "freelance" focused product, with mandatory options such as "billable" or "clients". We use for internal scheduling, to make our team's calendar and measure how much time it is invested in projects and office, and to know when we need more people to satisfy the need of the projects Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
