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
The software was very easy to implement and even easier to use. The reports page provides a great, visual presentation of our creative department's utilization for the week. Until we started using the software, we were unable to track enough data to inform a successful creative resource meeting. Now we have visibility into the upcoming weeks which has significantly decreased our dependence on freelance talent.
Inconvénients
The waiting list and overtime feature can be a little confusing. The hours don't get added to resource bookings and increase the utilization percentage. It would be great if the overtime hours pushed the utilization percentage over 100% to clearly highlight over-allocated resources.
Hi Marc
Thanks for taking the time to share your review! I just wanted to touch base on your request for utilisation to show at more than 100%. It's not possible to book someone for more than 100% of their time - our booking clash warning system prevents this to help ensure you always meet your deadlines, and without burning out your team. But if you want to overbook resources, you can do this by adding bookings with overtime, and overtime hours will be itemised in the "Overtime" column on the Reports, so it's easy to see where your team are overstretched.
I hope this helps to clarify things but please let us know if you ever have any questions - we're always very happy to help!
Thanks,
Kat
Friendly staff, and very quick response time.
Avantages
The ease of use and availability of the schedule to all of our users - even when they are on the road has made everyone's job easier. It was quickly adopted - even by the technophobes in our company - as it was so intuitive.
Gives a great 'at-a-glance' view of everything we have coming up an the reporting options are great too.
Inconvénients
It would be nice to be able to have a 'confirmed/unconfirmed' option (or something similar but, in the meantime, we have workarounds.
I love Resource Guru. It's the only thing that's shifted our capacity management into a new gear. By which I mean: No more trying to manage everything from a single calendar, complete visibility over workflow and appointments, and the ability to see at a glance how much time is available on any given day.
Avantages
1. It doesn't try to do anything other than what it's best for
2. Calendar sync
3. Cost-effectiveness
4. Responsiveness of the support team (including on UX suggestions! Amazing.)
5. The little guru on the dashboard. Yeah it's cosmetic but it makes me feel good every time I log in.
6. Easy to set up and use.
Inconvénients
The only things I really dislike a cosmetic and non-fatal. They are:
1. The inability to hit a "today" button to go back to today's date, and the thin scrollbars right and left
2. The fact that I have to literally click and drag events to create instances on non-consecutive days, rather than selecting dates.
Hi Leticia
Thanks for the great feedback :) I hope you'll be pleased to learn that we definitely do have a "Today" button which takes you straight back to today's date. It's in the top left of the schedule, next to where you navigate between different months and years.
I hope this helps! If there's anything else we can do for you please just let us know.
Happy scheduling!

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.
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
I've been using Resource Guru since 2013 and it's constantly improving which is good to see. It's easy to use and provides decent reporting.
Inconvénients
I'd like to see public holidays auto populated according to a country of choice and ability to limit daily bookable hours just by a number (e.g. 7.5h) without setting a rigid start / end / lunch break.
