Compare Visual Planning vs. eResource Scheduler Cloud (eRS Cloud)

Visual Planning is a powerful scheduling and resource management tool that's simple to use. Visual Planning is used by thousands of organizations to share their schedules and work more efficiently together.

eResource Scheduler (eRS) is an enterprise resource management & scheduling software that provides teams with everything spreadsheets can’t—real-time visibility, drag-and-drop scheduling, capacity planning, timesheets, financials, forecasting, and reporting—all in one intuitive platform. Whether you manage 5 or 5000 resources, eRS keeps your resources planned, billable, and utilized. The platform offers powerful scheduling capabilities, including drag-and-drop booking, semi-auto scheduling, and intelligent resource requests. Requests don’t just capture needs; they provide system-generated matches, complete with scores, so staffing is faster and more precise. Whether allocating across departments, projects, or time zones, eRS ensures the right people land in the right roles without overload. eResource Scheduler doesn’t stop at scheduling because every resource decision carries financial weight, and eRS makes it visible. Timesheet tracking ensures planned hours flow directly into actuals, color-coded heatmaps and forecasting tools highlight workload gaps in advance, while financial dashboards track costs, revenue, and profit for every client, project, or role. eRS enables organizations to connect resource allocation directly to business impact and project profitability. With management reports, organizations can monitor utilization, availability, progress, and financial performance. With granular user access rights, teams can collaborate while sensitive data stays secure. Administrators define exactly who can view or edit schedules, financials, or timesheets. eRS connects seamlessly with your go-to platforms. Trusted across industries, eRS turns scheduling from guesswork into growth, with visibility into the dollar impact of every allocation.
