A request is the first step in the Resource Management workflow that kicks a dispatch event into motion. Users can request equipment assets and/or labor and crew related resources. From there that request is sent to the appropriate user to deny or approve the request.
With Resource Management you can:
- Track resource availability
- Track and management movement of assets from one site to another
- Reallocate resources in response to project changes
- Track utilization rates to avoid under utilization on sites and facilitate smoother resource sharing
- Optimize resource time, effort and cost
- Identify and resolve resource conflicts
- Facilitate forecasting for future resource requirements
Requests & Approvals
At it's core, Requests feature centralizes resource needs for job sites and operational activities. Users can create requests for assets or labor resources to specific sites and those requests are either approved or denied by the equipment manger.
For more information on Requests see Requests Overview.
