Start with your (actual) business needs<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can\u2019t choose a tool before you know what your (actual) business requirements are and what problems the tool will help you solve. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to start with understanding the specific needs of your business, departments, and teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This includes the type of resources you need to schedule (e.g., people, resources, equipment, meeting rooms), the complexity of your scheduling needs, and any specific goals such as reducing overhead costs or improving project delivery times<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u2699\ufe0f Next steps: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sit down with all relevant stakeholders and get a full picture of their needs and goals. List your must-haves and nice-to-haves and evaluate the list against the tools you\u2019re evaluating. (In this case, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Resource Guru vs Float<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But your business requirements will change over time. Which brings us to the next consideration: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">flexibility<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Evaluate the tool\u2019s flexibility\u2014is it future-proof?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this context, flexibility encompasses both customization and scalability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing a resource scheduling tool that can be tailored to your specific business and team needs is essential, regardless of whether you\u2019re in professional services (such as at an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/industries\/agencies\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">agency<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/industries\/consultants\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">consulting firm<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/industries\/construction\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">construction<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/industries\/engineering\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">engineering<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re scaling back or scaling up, you need a tool that can see you through all seasons of business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ability to customize the tool to fit your specific requirements and processes is essential. It should allow you to set up and modify schedules easily and adapt to changing demands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering flexibility from the beginning saves you from frequent tool changes, which in turn helps you save resources long term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>\u2699\ufe0f Next steps: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Review your business plan and processes and compare them against both the pricing model and feature set of the tools to get an understanding of whether the tools can support your business goals in the long-term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Prioritize ease of use<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your resource scheduling tool isn\u2019t easy to use for everyone, it\u2019s going to work against you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A user-friendly tool minimizes confusion, shortens the learning curve for your teams, and it increases the chances that your team will actually use it\u2013and even enjoy using it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of a team that includes people who are not tech-savvy. For them, a tool with a complex interface can be daunting and counterproductive. The ideal tool should have a clear, intuitive interface that makes it easy for everyone to plan, allocate, and view bookings.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"quote quote--review quote--orange\"><div class=\"quote__icon\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"105\" height=\"105\" src=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/g2-logo-105x105.png\" class=\"attachment-quote size-quote wp-post-image\" alt=\"G2 logo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/g2-logo-105x105.png.webp 105w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/g2-logo-44x44.png.webp 44w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/g2-logo.png 206w, https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/g2-logo-44x44@2x.png.webp 88w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 105px) 100vw, 105px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"quote__text\"><p>&#8220;<em>We implemented Resource Guru across our entire team and hardware resources, and it has completely transformed our approach to resourcing.

This way, you can tackle any objections early on and get feedback from people that will be using the tool in different roles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Take security into account<\/h3>\n<p>Scheduling data is often sensitive, and the right software respects that. Being able to trust the scheduling software you use protects your privacy, your operations, and the confidence of everyone who relies on your system.<\/p>\n<p>For example, while Float is SOC 2 Type I compliant, <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/product-updates\/soc-2-compliance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Resource Guru is SOC 2 Type II compliant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In practice, this means Resource Guru\u2019s security controls have been tested and verified over an extended period through an independent audit, whereas Float\u2019s controls have only been validated at a single point in time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2699\ufe0f Next steps:<\/strong> Check the provider\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/security\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">security page<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/app.conveyor.com\/profile\/resourceguru\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trust center<\/a> for relevant documentation, and assess whether their security standards meet your business needs.<\/p>\n<h3><b>5.
