My Space (my profile, my allocations, my annual leave)

My Space is the place where employees can view their allocations across multiple projects as well as annual leave and bank holidays so they can clearly see what is expected from them from future projects.

Resource Management

To manage your resource allocation efficiently you need access to real time information on your resource pool. People are more than just a name and number; with ResourceFlex you can view their profile, contact details, employment information and most relevant of all, a detailed skill set definition which ranks each of their skills. This allows you to allocate the right resource to the right project

Segments, Clients and Projects

The Configuration of projects is a ‘must’ feature for every resource allocation tool, but we go the extra mile. ResourceFlex allows you ResourceFlex allows you to track you projects by client and by segment. Grouping projects by client and by segment also gives you a clear foresight into how your resource is being utilised when you running reports in the reporting module. There is also a colour-coding feature at project level that will help you to easily identify resource allocations across different projects. A project manager who is assigned to any given project is accountable for that project’s resource allocations. This means that you don’t need to have one resource manager to take care of all allocations, instead this functionality is decentralized across assigned project managers.

Reporting

When managing resource allocation and planning, there are several questions that need to be answered: “do I have resources that are not being utilised?”, “do I have any resources that are over-allocated?”, “how much allocation is planned for any given project, client or segment?” and “what is the ratio of technology or resource being utilised at any one time?”… Our reporting module provides detailed and accurate analytics on all of your resource projects.
