The VUEWorks® Resource Manager module is tightly integrated with the Work Order module so that associated time and costs for personnel, crews, contractors, vendors, equipment and items pulled from inventory can be tracked. Time for labor and equipment can be accounted for independently with the Time Recorder feature, then passed on to external accounting systems. Multiple billing rates can be assigned for different labor roles and activities. Set up personnel so that employees can be placed on a work order based on job classification, availability and cost. Personnel managers can be set up to search for an employee job classification, availability and cost in an easy-to-use calendar interface.

DTS, makers of the VUEWorks asset and performance management software, has significantly enhanced the functionality of the Resource Manager module. The Resource Manager module still includes the ability to track personnel and equipment, add and track labor and equipment in work orders, assign multiple labor rates to field activities, track availability of personnel and equipment and generate automatic notifications for employees and supervisors. And now Resource Manager includes Advanced Inventory.
