Managing MRM
Oversee Resource Use Across Campaigns
• Department Dashboard: With so many projects in progress, this is an invaluable tool to know exactly who available, what they are working on, and how much of their task is completed. Prepare for upcoming projects by having the right skillset ready to deploy, or prepare for freelancers as needed.
• Get notifications: Set alerts to know when a skill or resource is near or at capacity, so you can act quickly to plan and augment it. Know exactly when resources will be on leave and allocate tasks accordingly. Be prepared with additional resources well in time, so there are no bottlenecks and project timelines can be met.
• Charting tools: Get a complete view of your resources with user-friendly graphs or Gantt charts. Get live, automated updates to departmental resource charts as individual tasks are added. Personalised, visual dashboards give you information at a glance, eliminating the need to trawl lengthy textual reports for insights.
• Data and reporting: Use the data and insights to make better strategic decisions regarding resources and how you use them. Generate reports and charts on any metric – workforce productivity, ROI across projects, underutilised resources and more. Maximise potential today and plan accurately for the future.
Simplify and Streamline Task Management
• Create Tasks: Create tasks using a templated process like a New Task form that provides all relevant information such as brief, deadline and approvals required. Use inherited form fields to avoid keying in the same information several times. Include attachments or provide other relevant links to the task for better deliverables.
• Assign tasks: Give rights and permissions to the right people to assign tasks. They can assign tasks easily by viewing availability in the resource’s calendar. Drag and drop to add a task to a resources calendar. If a resources becomes unexpected unavailable, re-assign easily by choosing alternative, similarly skilled resources from a dropdown.
• Capture Time Data: No resource management feature is complete without accounting for your department’s time. Resources can utilise an in-built task timer to accurately capture the time they spend on tasks. Department managers can then view logged time for each task to stay on top of its progress. As resources log their time, it is automatically recorded to a Timesheet so you don’t have to do the leg work.
• Scheduling: Good resource management is all about using the right skill for an optimal time. Get a clear view of each resources workday and already assigned tasks. Know the exact resource availability at your disposal across several projects. Schedule tasks with confidence and keep your project on track with easy visual tools.
Monitor Productivity to Drive Efficiencies

• Task management: Give your resources with the tools they need to be more organised. Each team member can view an individual task list which outlines the work that’s allocated to them, from a daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly view. An effective way for resources to stay on top of their workload.
• Manage Capacity: Planning for future projects becomes easier when you have data on the productivity of each resource. With in-depth information of resource use, plan for future projects confident that you have the skills need for the next set of creatives.
