Centralize Your Resource Management

Resource planning is the act of scheduling employee time and cost against a budget. Digital agencies, marketing firms, IT firms, consultants are all organizations that typically engage in employee resource planning.

Planning employee resources helps organizations increase profitability by reducing over-servicing, better managing project budgets, and gaining real-time visibility into employee capacity.

Resource planning provides a real-time window into employee availability and project budgets. As time is entered, budgets and available hours are automatically reduced. This is made possible by associating dynamic billing rates with specific employees, roles, projects, etc.

Employee capacity is the total available hours for all active employees, minus any time off that has been scheduled

Planned utilization is the number of allocated billable hours divided by the total allocated hours for an employee or group of employees.

Rather than measuring billable hours, nonprofit resource planning keeps track of hours worked on specific programs and activities that directly contribute to the mission (this can include fundraising, events, etc.)
