Professional Services and Client Operations

See who's actually available before over-committing the team

A services business assigns people to projects based on who happens to be free, because nobody has a shared view of who's actually available across all active projects. Build one allocation record everyone staffs from.

"Who's free?" shouldn't require asking around

Without a shared allocation record, staffing decisions get made project by project, and nobody notices that one person is quietly allocated to 140% of their time until they burn out or something slips.

Track allocation against actual availability across every active project, and flag over-commitment before it becomes a delivery problem.

From request to rebalancing
  1. 1. Employees are set up with skills and standard availability
  2. 2. Projects request resources with required skills and time commitment
  3. 3. Resource manager allocates people based on availability and skill fit
  4. 4. Utilization is tracked as allocated versus actual logged time
  5. 5. Over- or under-allocation is flagged for rebalancing

FAQ

Common questions about resource planning software

Who is this for?

Services businesses staffing people across multiple concurrent projects who need a shared view of availability and allocation.

Does this replace our time tracking?

This tracks planned allocation. Pair it with actual time logging in professional services automation to compare planned versus actual.

Can I plan allocations months in advance?

Yes—allocate resources against upcoming projects before work actually starts, so staffing gaps surface early.
