NetSuite OpenAir Resource Management Features

NetSuite OpenAir resource management provides visibility into all facets of your projects so you can deploy resources effectively and efficiently.

Project Staffing and Bookings

View project requests to identify pressing needs, and quickly find and allocate resources based on skill set, demographic information, experience, work preferences, planned PTO, and other factors. Filter by specific qualities, view generic bookings for projects awaiting staffing, and assign bookings to open resources.

Resource Forecasting

Gain insights into your ability to staff future projects while remaining profitable. Apply generic resources for planning, and view reports to determine actual staffing needs. Robust reporting, including capacity planning, forecasts, and utilization by hierarchy — including offices and lines of business — inform financial forecasts. Estimate billings, revenue, and margins based on staffing plans.

Utilization Tracking

Track and optimize resource use with dynamic charts and reports that can be generated periodically or on demand. Create custom utilization reports based on specific project needs. Drill down on details and fine tune priorities as project deliverables change. Add utilization reports right to managers’ dashboards to gain visibility into time spent on projects. Send alerts and notifications to project managers, supervisors, and other stakeholders if resource utilization exceeds set thresholds — with booking details and next steps attached.

Strategic Project Insights

Real-time analytics and reporting capabilities deliver strategic project insights — without staff having to hunt down or piece together information. Run periodic or on-demand reports that are relevant to project managers to help them make informed, data-driven decisions that keep projects on track and within budget, or make changes as priorities shift.
