Des milliers d'entreprises à travers le monde utilisent des systèmes de planification du personnel qui ne répondent pas à leurs besoins. Alors que certains n'utilisent rien de plus sophistiqué qu'une feuille de calcul, beaucoup d'autres utilisent des solutions excessives, peu pratiques ou coûteuses, ce qui conduit souvent à de l'inefficacité et de la frustration. Resource Guru fournit une alternative conviviale basée sur le cloud dont l'interface glisser-déposer simple d'emploi ouvre la voie à une productivité accrue et à une meilleure collaboration en ligne, et est déjà utilisé par des entreprises comme Apple, Saatchi & Saatchi, Publicis et la NASA.
Resource Guru parvient à intégrer un ensemble de fonctionnalités puissantes dans une conception simple et intuitive. Il est possible d'ajouter, de déplacer et de supprimer des réservations de ressources en quelques secondes. La visibilité complète de l'équipe sur un unique calendrier intelligent permet de voir instantanément ce sur quoi chaque personne travaille. Un système de gestion des jours de congés simplifie la gestion des congés payés, des congés de maladie ou de tout autre type de congé. Les tableaux de bord personnels offrent aux utilisateurs un moyen facile de se connecter rapidement et de connaître exactement leurs tâches à effectuer pour la semaine. Et comme il n'y a aucun logiciel à installer ni de formation requise, vous et votre équipe pouvez commencer à l'utiliser immédiatement.
Avantages
It's easy to use. Everyone can see what's on the schedule or what they are supposed to be working on. I can see how long a project is in our production queue to ascertain when we'll be finished. I can schedule vacations so others know which resources are available on which date.
Inconvénients
The times are sometimes not correct. It seems to think a work day is twelve hours long, instead of eight. It's hard to schedule several projects in the same day. It's easiest to assign a project for the whole day.
Hi Nancy - thanks for your review. I just wanted to question a couple of things you wrote in the Cons section. You said the times are sometimes not correct - I'd love it if you can send us an example so we can troubleshoot it for you - we are not aware of this happening to any of our customers.
You also said, "It seems to think a work day is twelve hours long". I'm not sure where you see this info - it would be good to assist you further with this. By default a day is 8h long, but Normal Availability is totally customisable at a resource level - this is actually a feature we have that other products we've reviewed don't.
Finally you said, "It's hard to schedule several projects in the same day". Again, this is a limitation we found in other products which is why we made it easy to create as many bookings as you liked in a day - to a very granular level eg for as little as 1 minute.
Would love to hear from you ..
Best, Percy
Avantages
That you can easily move jobs around if they need to change and can book off holiday time and meeting time so that you don't overbook yourself.
Inconvénients
The waiting time bit could be better if time is overbooked - doesn't allow for different lengths of working days.
Hi Nikki,
Thanks for sharing your review of Resource Guru! I wanted to let you know that you can most definitely customise the availability of each of your resources on a daily basis - not every day has to have the same availability.
You can set resources normal availability (which is the availability which repeats on a weekly basis) and you can also create availability exceptions if you need to make a temporary change to someone's normal availability.

I hope this helps, but please get in touch if you have any questions. We're always happy to help!
Thanks,

Resource Guru helps our agency see availability of resources to ensure we are allocating projects efficiently. Without it, we were running blindly and were hoping that team members would speak up when they were too busy or too idle. Now, we can see this ourselves (days in advance) and prevent talented employees from going unused.
Avantages
- Color coding clients
- Being able to manually adjust hours/availability per resource
- Limiting permissions per user
- Adding in when employees are OOO
- Search feature to check skill sets and who has worked on which client before
- Saving searches so we can quickly view groupings of employees
Inconvénients
- I wish there was a way to search bookings for key words
- It's unfortunate that this tool doesn't link up with our PM tool, Asana
- There's no 'undo' button if you accidentally click and drag a booking unknowingly
Provided visibility and allowed tracking of the team members, contract end dates and the ability to generate accurate invoices for the customer
Avantages
The product is easy to use and allows the administrator to manage teams, plan and review previous activities.
It can be used for recording or planning and gives a level of visibility that is lacking in a number of products.
Although the team are constantly looking at ways to improve the product, it never strays away from its core and prime functionality. Many products try to grow into a bigger, wider space and lose the key elements that attracted customers to the product in the first place.
A customer of ours was so impressed with the product that they too purchased it after seeing the value it afforded us.
Inconvénients
It would be great if there was an App which could be opened rather than a web browser, although this is only a minor consideration with the number of browsers out there.
Avantages
The tool really makes time management easy and extremely visual. It does away with ugly excel spreadsheets and with a neat UX, it allows for easy time forecasting whilst also enabling you to easily keep on top of your time expenditure! I genuinely love this tool.
Along with the tool, where there are areas for improvement, the development team are happy to listen and actually make changes based on feedback! I've provided feedback with a couple of times and both have been integrated into future updates - this is a company that listens and constantly develops for the users' needs.
Inconvénients
Very difficult to outline any main cons, as like I said above, any issues I've had with the tool historically, they've been resolved!
If I HAD to provide one, it'll be how the tool works across different devices. It's not especially mobile friendly...but that's me scraping the barrel for a con.

Everyone has access to the schedule so each developer or designer not only knows what they're supposed to be working on, but what others are working on. We can schedule months into the future which helps us as we have projects that last months, not weeks.
