Get a crisp idea on what demand is coming from future work. This way you anticipate when you are running short of resources.

Yes. Timewax provides real-time visibility across all planning and resource data.
All changes in the system are updated instantly. For example, if you are viewing the Planning Board and a colleague schedules or updates a resource, the change appears immediately in your session—without needing to refresh.
In addition, Timewax offers a wide range of real-time alerts and notifications. These are delivered directly within the application as well as via email, Microsoft Teams, and Slack, ensuring you stay informed of relevant changes and can take action when needed.
This combination of real-time updates and proactive notifications enables true collaborative planning and ensures decisions are always based on the most current data.
Timewax helps you assess this through the Utilization Report, which provides real-time insight into capacity, workload, and productivity across your organization.
The report combines planned hours with future resource demand, giving you a complete picture of whether your teams have sufficient capacity to deliver existing projects—and whether there is room to take on new ones.
Utilization data can be analyzed across multiple dimensions, including department, role, individual resource, skills, clients, and projects. This allows you to quickly identify bottlenecks, overutilization, or underutilized capacity and take targeted action.
With these insights, Timewax enables data-driven decisions about project intake, staffing, and growth.
Timewax allows you to capture future resource demand without immediately assigning specific people by using Resource Requests.
When planning a project, you can schedule the required hours and specify the department, role, and skills needed—without selecting an actual resource. This makes it possible to model demand independently from availability.
You can also create Resource Requests for projects that are not yet won. This gives you a clear forecast of future resource demand, helping you assess whether you will have enough capacity if the project moves forward.
Once a project is won, you can gradually assign resources to the open Resource Requests. This allows you to move smoothly from demand forecasting to detailed scheduling, without losing any planning data.
