eResource Scheduler

Surpassed all the promises that were made

Pros

This customizable resource management software has been crucial for our business. The dashboard is impressive, offering real-time information that makes decision-making effortless.

Cons

Currently, there is not a mobile app available for accessing it, which restricts its usability on-the-go and in situations where mobile access is crucial for seamless workflow integration.

Quite useful

Pros

I schedule resources across multiple projects and locations with ease. Viewing resource loading at a glance helps me take immediate action. During tendering, I can forecast costs and seamlessly transition into execution by adjusting resources as needed.

Cons

Connecting schedules created in premavira or other Gantt chart software with project activities would greatly benefit construction projects.

Great interface, easy to use

Pros

ERS boasts a fantastic interface and is straightforward to administer. It accomplishes everything we need it to do.

Cons

If there is not already, it needs a cloud version. Using RDP is inconvenient, though licensing issues have been minimal.

its a great sofware, easy to use with my team, i love the reports

Pros

I appreciate the booking chart; it's clear to see my team's booked time and separate it by projects. This feature allows us to measure team productivity effectively.

Cons

I'd appreciate having pie or Pareto charts. I can't find anything I dislike; I find this software very helpful for leadership in my company.

eResource Scheduler has simplified our forecasting needs without sacrificing necessary detail.

Pros

The visual display is incredibly useful, making it easy to identify gaps at a glance. Exporting data lets us present information in ways that suit our needs perfectly.

Cons

I notice some tasks require too many clicks, like copying and pasting entries. Adding a default option in admin would simplify this. Also, more flexibility in export fields would reduce the effort needed to prepare data for presentations.

Very flexible scheduling program that we have adapted to scheduling lab resources

Pros

We were searching for a lab resource scheduling program and found this solution after struggling with Excel and Outlook. It's much more user-friendly, allowing us to easily adjust projects, resources, dates, and durations, all updated automatically. The flexibility to tailor it to our needs sets it apart.

Cons

We utilize a specific user login to display schedules on a lab monitor. Unfortunately, this user logs out daily, requiring us to re-login daily. It would be beneficial to define a custom view how projects are displayed on the task view.

User friendly and able to accommodate the needful for a project team.

Pros

The initial setup and configuration process for this tool were remarkably simple and user-friendly. It has a natural intuitive interface that facilitates the training of new users seamlessly. Also, it provides comprehensive utilization and forecasting reports that delve into detailed insights. When it comes to retrieving specific data, the tool offers effortless extraction capabilities through its intuitive filter system, making data management a smooth and efficient process.

Cons

Project list lacks creation dates. 2) Subscreen details such as booking status can't be easily extracted or filtered on the main booking list screen.

Pros

From the start, the support from eRS was instrumental in configuring the system to fit our needs.

Adding more flexibility in export fields would reduce the effort needed to manipulate data for presentations.

Solid solution for basic resource planning
