Executive Assistant Hospital & Health Care ### "We Love Resource Scheduler" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 3, 2021 Resource Scheduler has been extremely helpful in keeping the use of our conference rooms on campus organized and orderly. This has been particularly important as we grow and add additional conference room space. Pros What we like most about Resource Scheduler is that, once it was setup and fine-tuned for our organization, it's proven very user-friendly. I frequently have employees comment on its ease of use. It's also easy to make any changes or additions to the software once it's setup. Cons We haven't found anything we don't like about the software! Alternatives considered [CaterTrax](https://www.capterra.com/p/6182/CaterTrax/) Reasons for choosing OpenBlue Employee We did consider Sodexo's CaterTrax because they manage our Food Service department, and their software had it's benefits, but we would only be able to use their software for as long as they were contracted with Food Services. If we terminated their services, they would take the software with them. We disliked the fact that their software had what I would call "fluff" too--elements that were for show, like pictures and bright, colorful displays, that we felt were distracting and served no purpose. In contrast, Resource Scheduler is highly efficient to use. It's easy for employees and managers to go in, schedule a room, and have it confirmed in no time. It's also easy to view the status of all of the conference rooms on campus to see what's in use and what's not.

We are so happy to hear that Resource Scheduler has been so easy to use for your employees and is helping to keep everything running smoothly. Thank you for your continued support and being such a great addition to the FM:Systems family!
