# [PU-024] Resources

What is it?

Double-booking vehicles, tools, or meeting rooms causes delays and frustration. The Resources Power-Up lets you manage your shared resources — vehicles, specialized tools, equipment — and see at a glance what's available, what's booked, and where it is. No more scheduling conflicts or last-minute scrambles.

How it Helps Your Business

  • Field Techs: Know exactly which vehicle or tools are assigned to their jobs, with no surprises when they show up to the warehouse.
  • Office Staff: Book shared resources alongside work orders and see availability at a glance — no more phone calls to check if the van is free.
  • Managers: Optimize resource utilization across the team and reduce the cost of idle or double-booked equipment.
  • Customers: Jobs run on schedule because the right equipment is always available when needed.
