About Silverbucket
Silverbucket is a resource planning solution designed for project-driven firms to optimize team capacity and utilization rate. With Silverbucket, you can easily create resource plans and gain a clear view of your company’s resource allocations, including conflicts, workloads, and capacity levels. The heatmap feature provides a comprehensive view of the current state of resource allocations.
Notable features include competency management, which helps identify the right skills for your project team and pinpoint bottleneck skills at the company level. You can compare resource plans to actual hours to improve future planning. Additionally, you can create Gantt charts to visualize timelines, and resourcing requests offer a more formal way to request team members.
Silverbucket allows for quick changes to allocations using its drag-and-drop feature, making it easy to shift allocations from roles to individuals or vice versa. Allocation functions, such as the max function, help prevent overbooking by allowing you to reserve a person’s capacity in advance or distribute allocations over a specified period. Depending on your needs, you can choose to allocate at the person, role, or task level.
Silverbucket has a high recommendation rate, and over 50,000 users worldwide. It is especially suitable for expert organizations such as engineering consultancy firms, architectural firms, and IT consulting companies. The advantages of Silverbucket are easily verified by the time saved and the increase in the bottom line.
