Financial Manager Overview

Resource Planning

Flexibly manage labor budgets, forecasts, and actuals in EcoSys FM.

  • Manage top-down and bottom-up resource costs
    Budget and forecast resource costs and resource related expenses. Distribute fiscal budgets by resource category or type.
  • Manage supply and demand
    Strategically align resource "supply" with organizational goals, priorities, and bottom-up demand.
  • Maintain resource rates
    Flexibly define resource rate types and associate multiple rates with each resource. Protect visibility of resource rates by using generic or blended rates in the Project Management system and actual rates for the same resources in FM.
  • Consolidate information from multiple systems
    Integrate with Enterprise Project Management / Project Portfolio Management and Timesheet systems to consolidate true bottom-up forecasts, reflecting the latest resource allocation information, as well as resource actuals.
  • Analyze resource performance
    Monitor resource performance by teams, departments, projects, crews, and as individuals. Compare labor budget with forecast and actuals, and view trends.
