Resource Management Request Workflows

With the best functionality on the market, the Tempus Resource service offers the visibility and control you need over your resource request workflow.

Easy resource management workflow implementation

With unmatched speed and a request process that is fully integrated with your resource forecasts, implementing any resource management workflow takes just minutes. With a few clicks, and in bulk, you can:

• Rapidly manage resource managers, reporting relationships, and which resources require approval.
• Enable the resource request process only when needed, for the datasets and resources you choose.

• Support easy approval process in resource planning by allowing multiple resource managers into the process for any resource when you need wide participation.
• Enable backup approvers to work on behalf of another manager in order to avoid resource management workflow interruptions or delays. Backup approver actions and events are carefully tracked and logged for auditing accuracy.

• Maintain an accurate overview of when generic resource requests have been filled by real resources, with automatic recalculations of remaining unfulfilled requests.
• Allow multiple resource managers across different locations to retain their own non-overlapping resource pools and collaborate with a pooled resource approach. This way, a request that is not location-specific can be filled with greater flexibility.

Comprehensive resource requests

A user can assign a resource and enter an allocation, and Tempus will automatically generate resource requests for them. Approvers will receive access to color-coded requests to indicate their stage in the approval process, along with detailed request notes for consideration and review.

Process customization and flexibility

You control and customize your approval process requirements. Let resource managers work efficiently with automatic approvals, while retaining the ability to create threshold approvals for others based on a requests’ time, or FTE, for example.

View changes on your resource management workflow

With all your resource request data automatically logged in Tempus, project managers and other project participants easily stay up to speed. Resource managers can continuously update requests until they are fully satisfied.
