Enhance your resource tracking capabilities with NetSuite
Resources are often the most important asset of an organization and as such, strategically tracking resources is essential for organizational success. The ability to optimize the utilization of resources helps organizations maximize profit margins, improve billable hours, retain top talent, and increase customer satisfaction. A resource tracking solution powered by NetSuite and delivered by Rand Group includes powerful resource management capabilities to help you deliver projects on time and on budget.
Streamline resource scheduling and deliver projects on time and on budget
Assigning the right resource to the right job is essential to successfully delivering projects. However, organizations that rely on spreadsheets to track and manage resources run the risk of misaligning bookings and running inefficient projects. A resource tracking solution gives companies the ability to easily manage resources and distribute workloads for optimal execution of project delivery needs. Firms can seamlessly view resource availability across the board to identify the right resources for the project based on skills and availability, build profitable project plans with actual resources, optimize resource utilization, and unlock insights into future capacity needs.
Reduce your dependence on resource management spreadsheets and upgrade to real-time tracking of skills and availability and centralized, up-to-date, searchable resource profiles. Rand Group is your partner to implement an impressive resource tracking solution that is tailored to your unique business needs so you can meet utilization, revenue, and customer satisfaction goals.
Streamline project staffing
Automate resource requests and bookings with customizable workflows that help determine exact job requirements at job initiation. Then, quickly find and allocate staff to projects based on skill sets, demographic information, experience, work preferences, and future availability.
Leverage resource forecasting and planning
Plan projects effectively with forecasting capabilities that provide vital insights into your organization’s ability to staff future projects while remaining profitable. Achieve complete visibility into resource scenarios by generating interactive reports on allocations for future staffing as needed.
Optimize resource profitability
Avoid misaligning bookings and running inefficient projects by empowering managers to easily determine which resources are available and identify the best match. Ensure project managers are not overusing or underusing resources to maintain productivity and maximize billable hours.
Build and maintain resource profiles
All resources are not created equal, especially when your resources are people with unique skill sets and experiences. A resource tracking solution from Rand Group can assist project managers to create resource profiles where managers can store and rate skills using proficiency models.
