Resource Management

Once you grow beyond a handful of people, resource management becomes significantly more demanding. In a fast moving environment, staff and resource scheduling can become very labour intensive – especially if you don't have the correct resource allocation tools to assist you.

Additions enterprise resource management software offers a far more powerful and efficient project resourcing solution. Using the information already entered at the quoting or Work Order stage, Additions can present a list of all the tasks that need allocating to either an individual resource or team of resources on a shared project calendar.

Additions can present resources based on skill set, location, regulatory details (Corgi-qualified, for instance), and more. This eliminates the need for manually re-entering data and ensures everyone benefits from the latest information. In addition powerful resource management reporting tools give excellent visibility of the current loading on departments, teams or individuals. This allows the project manager to make quick informed decisions about the implications of changes to timing plans, staff availability etc.
