Resource Scheduling Software Tools

Better Resource Planning

Timewatch® resource planning solutions are configurable and customizable, so they can set up to suit any resource scheduling requirement.

Multi-Resource Views

Viewing multiple resources is a must-have for resource planners as they bring instant visibility of everyone’s schedules and their availability. With views configurable by any resource attribute, planners can locate the exact set of resources needed. Resource planners can search, sort, and filter resources on any attribute, including availability. Rapid access to resource availability helps schedulers to make better, more informed decisions faster. Better scheduling not only saves schedulers time, but it also allows schedulers to utilize the organization’s resources more efficiently†.

Outlook Integration

Resource planners need to know that the ‘whitespace’ in a calendar is genuinely free. Often employees also schedule their own time in systems such as Outlook, which can lead to conflicts, errors, and wasted time. Timewatch® resource planning systems can seamlessly sync with Outlook, ensuring planners can see time employees book in Outlook, and also ensuring end users can see bookings planners have made for them in Timewatch. With absolute trust in the accuracy of resources’ schedules, planners can dramatically increase employee utilization rates†.

Resource Planning Perfection

There is a lot more to resource planning perfection: conflict management, custom fields, Outlook sync, configurability, security, reporting, etc. Your organization may not need all or even any of these features today, but you can add them as you need them. The crucial takeaways are that Timewatch® systems are explicitly designed for resource planning and will increase the speed and accuracy of your planning processes, decrease stress, and raise the attainable level of utilization of your resources.

Configurable

As you choose the features you need, the system can be configured to meet your needs today perfectly and reconfigured as your needs change in the future.

† Customers report an increase in utilization between 5-10%, a significant return on investment.

Systems Available
Main Resource Scheduling View
1
The MS-Office style ribbon means new users are already familiar with the system. This increases user acceptance and reduces training / learning time.
2
Multiple view styles; from the classic diary style (ideal for most scheduling), to the ‘Timeline’ view where time runs left to right (ideal for broadcasting, 24 hour operations and multi month task scheduling), a conflicts view that alerts users to conflicts and helps resolve them, and a spreadsheet style Data View.
3
The number of days viewed is configurable. Increase or decrease the number of days as you like.
4
View just the resource name, or add a picture, available hours in view and availability over the coming 6 weeks.
5
In addition to the usual ‘diary’ style bookings, Timewatch scheduling systems also allow for Task scheduling – items that can run for multiple days that can be a ratio of the time spent. For example 2 hours a day, 100% of time 2 days a week. Ideal for background tasks, project scheduling and what we call realistic scheduling, where not everything in a day can be represented with a start time and an end time, or even a specific day.
6
Making a booking is as simple as clicking in free space, but maybe another resource with the same skills and more availability would be a better choice. Our scheduling systems can help schedulers make more ‘nuanced’ decisions where needed.
7
The height of the resources in view is configurable, so you increase or decrease the number of resources as required.
8
Resources can be people, courses, equipment, vehicles, studios, rooms… anything.

...the easy color-coding, being able to see skillsets and appointments in a simple visual way and being able to have appointments interact with Outlook was key for us.

We looked at a product that said it could integrate with Outlook, but it was only on creation, so if they made any changes we didn’t know. This is great that I can see bookings going both ways and all updates.
