New Cloud-based App Relieves the Resource Scheduling Headache for Businesses

LONDON, June 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Web-based Resource Guru delivers a fast, simple project collaboration tool for scheduling people, equipment and other resources online.

Companies all over the world struggle to schedule their project teams and other resources efficiently. Larger companies tend to use complex enterprise systems whereas smaller firms often grapple with basic spreadsheets. The problem with enterprise systems is that they are usually complex and come with enterprise-sized costs. On the other hand, resource-planning spreadsheets lack appropriate functionality and don't offer any insight into the health of a business.

Resource Guru (http://resourceguruapp.com) is changing all this with a new web app aimed at helping companies to become more efficient and more profitable. The app features a cleverly designed calendar that allows an entire company to instantly see who's working on what, when. Users can access a single resource pool and collaborate on bookings in real time. The numerous innovative features include a special "availability bar" and an advanced clash management engine. Resource Guru can also be used to schedule meeting rooms, equipment or any other type of resource.

Co-founder, Andrew Rogoff, commented "For many businesses, people are their most valuable asset. Ensuring they are fully utilized is critical to their success - especially in these tough economic times. Resource Guru helps companies achieve this."

He added, "Resources can also log in to their own personalized dashboard. People are happier and more productive when they start the day knowing exactly what they should be working on that week."

Resource Guru has been rapidly gaining signups and admirers - including user interface design firm Fresh Tilled Soil. "Resource Guru is a very cool web app that helps us forecast and predict the availability of our team. It's intuitive, easy to use and has some well designed aesthetics. Job well done!" said Alex Fedorov, Co-Founder & Director of User Experience.
