Resource Planning Software
Resource Planning Software To Identify the Best Combination of Available Resources
Resource planning software provides powerful cost data libraries, flexible resource categories, and wage scales by zone, tax rates, and resource management reporting (including utilization, cash flow and earned value), as well as centralized resource address book information.
Resource Libraries
Historic and live third-party resource libraries enable estimating teams to establish labor, equipment, materials and thousands of external unique resources for project estimates. Resource libraries provide fast, accurate forecasting, activity matching, subcontractor quoting, and multiple wage and tax costing cost data. Each cost item contains invaluable information about labor-hours, productivities, and labor designations, including regional specific data. Data is available in over 15 trade-specific unit price varieties. In addition to unit prices, data is available with over 5,800 assemblies, ideal for conceptual, budgetary, and systems estimating.

Conditional Resource Costing
Apply man hour factors to production rates to adjust for weather, geography and other job specific conditions. Account for escalation periods over time or during traditional changes within a calendar year as a result of weather, labor shortages, or other resource conditions historically associated within the annual period.
Match Resources
Identify the best combination of available resources to specific job needs on one, many, or all projects. Match vendors, equipment, personnel and other resources to minimize cost, and maximize the efficiency of costly resources.
Flexible Resource Cost Categories
Take advantage of multiple resource categories to better organize and manage resources. Create pre-defined crews and assemblies (groups of resources) to employ in the estimate with a single click. View crews and assemblies as a single line item or expand to show individual resources. Assign cost codes to individual resources or entire cost items to save time creating budgets.
Master Resource Rates
Adjust resource rates on a job-by-job basis without effecting master rates. Copy the job specific resources to master files, and from one job to another saving time and improving rate accuracy.
Flexible Geographic Wage Scales
Leverage multiple wage scales for each labor resource to automate the calculation of overtime and other labor costs. Create multiple resource rates for each wage zone or geographic area.
Tax Rate Updates
Automatically apply job specific or unique tax rates to materials rentals, supplies and unique resources including geographic relationships.
Centralized Resource Address Book
Save time viewing all subs, suppliers and contacts in a master address book. Easily import contacts from Microsoft Outlook or any other existing database. Track previous jobs from the same vendor or sub within the profile for historic cost information.
