Availability That Doesn’t Lie.

Plan smarter with real-time availability data. Filter by skill, role, or team to find who is available. Whether it’s next week or next quarter, resource capacity planning ensures the right people are in the right place without spreadsheet guesswork.

See Who’s Busy (and Who’s Not)

Busy? Booked? Barely assigned? Get the full picture. See who's swamped, who's cruising, and who’s got room to spare. Get a clear visual breakdown of resource assignments, distribute workload efficiently, and avoid bottlenecks by rebalancing effort and reducing idle time.

Schedule Like a Fortune Teller

Color That Calls Out Capacity

Complex resource scheduling doesn’t need complex decoding. Color-coded heatmaps turn schedules into clear visual cues. With workforce capacity planning, you can instantly spot overbooked, underutilized, or available resources across teams and timeframes—making decisions more visual, faster, and smarter.

Auto Alerts for Overallocation

Too much work, too few hands? The system catches it before your team feels it. Our capacity planning software enables you to identify when resource allocations exceed availability and allows you to adjust schedules before overbooking results in missed deadlines. Keep timelines on track, no matter how often priorities shift.

Exceptions, Not Excuses

Not everyone works 9 to 5. Define planned leave, reduced hours, or non-working days at the individual, team, or location level. Handle real-world workforce capacity planning—part-time, PTO, holidays, reduced hours—with precision. Plan with what’s actually available.

How’s Capacity? Ask the Report.

Compare capacity vs. demand to know what you have and what you need for your hiring process. Our capacity planning reports don’t whisper—they spell it out, in bold.

Here’s how our capacity planning tool turns data into action:

  • Identify short and long-term capacity mismatches using reports built for resource capacity planning.
  • Spot underutilized roles or overbooked teams before they impact delivery.
  • Align hiring, reskilling, or reallocation decisions with upcoming project demand.
  • Ditch assumptions—base every decision on clear, actionable data.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How does real-time availability improve capacity planning?

    Real-time data ensures you’re planning with facts, not assumptions. Capacity planning tools show current availability by skill or role, helping you allocate resources accurately and avoid scheduling blind spots.

  • Can I account for part-time resources, PTO, or custom schedules?

    Yes, you can. Resource capacity planning in eResource Scheduler factors in individual exceptions such as PTO, holidays, and reduced hours. So plans reflect actual availability, not assumptions.

  • How do capacity planning reports support hiring decisions?

    They show exactly where you’re short or overstaffed. With capacity planning tools, you can align hiring, reskilling, or reallocation with future workload demands, not gut instinct.

  • Is resource allocation the same as resource capacity planning?

    Not quite. Resource allocation assigns tasks. Resource capacity planning asks, “Can this get done?” It factors in workload, availability, and constraints before assigning anything.

  • Scheduling tools vs. capacity planning tools—what should you use?

    Scheduling tools assign dates. Capacity planning tools ensure those dates are doable. Resource capacity planning keeps projects realistic by balancing capacity vs. demand.
