Construction Resource Planning and Cost Projections - built for the Trimble Vista ERP

PLAN PEOPLE, CREWS, AND EQUIPMENT WITH CONFIDENCE.

Fiddletree Resource Planning gives construction teams one place to request, schedule, and assign employees, crews, and equipment across opportunities, jobs, and project phases.

See exactly where resources are allocated, identify upcoming demand, and quickly spot over- or under-utilized teams. Gantt views and utilization reporting give project and operations teams the visibility they need to make better staffing decisions.

By bringing current jobs and future opportunities into the same resource plan, contractors can anticipate labor and equipment needs earlier—helping improve productivity, control costs, and keep projects moving.
