Resource planning software

People are the very foundation of professional services firms. We need to ensure we keep our talent busy (but not too busy!) with fulfilling, rewarding work. And we need to respond to key questions:

Are we utilizing our people effectively? Do we need to hire? Are we retaining our talent? CMap’s resource management software helps you get the answers you need, all while seamlessly integrating with your beloved project management tools and more

Predict future demand & resource capacity

Are you confident you can accurately predict future demand?

Increasing predictability of future projects enables you to make better decisions. To walk away from opportunities you don’t have the capacity for. To get a head start on hiring or reach out to freelance resource to fulfil it

CMap’s resource planning software tells project managers when demand drops off, so you can focus your resource management efforts on lining up and winning work when it’s required

Master resource utilization

If you want strong profits, you need strong utilization—and that means a strong resource management tool

CMap’s resource management tools spell out how individuals & roles are forecast to be utilized, enabling project managers to make the right resource planning calls today to maintain solid utilization in the future

Confidently turn to freelancers to solve short-lived spikes or allocate resources to solve sustained increase in demand. Avoid allocating resources to fulfil work that could be delivered with improved utilization of current resource

The best bit? Any improvement goes straight to the bottom line. CMap's drag and drop resource scheduling software makes project planning and resource scheduling a breeze
