Wallchart view
Transform your resource planning with the agile planning view which enables you to instantly see who is working on each project in real-time for the weeks and months ahead. By improving visibility of available resources, Retain Cloud can increase utilisation rates across your organisation by an average of 5%. Saving time and effort, the graphical view lets you instantly see gaps in utilisation and overbookings, reducing the risk of over and under-utilising your team. More efficient planning ensures you have the optimum allocation of people on your project, often resulting in faster project completion times, allowing you to recognise revenue sooner.

Talent management
Enable your people to build profiles of themselves, citing their personal details, skills and capabilities. Staffing managers can plan not only according to who has capacity, but also whose skills best align with the overall requirements of the project thus creating an optimum planning schedule whilst ensuring work assignments are fairly disbursed. By matching the best-skilled or experienced people to a project, you’ll not only satisfy and exceed your client’s expectations, but you’ll also foster a motivated, engaged and retained workforce
