Startup Idea: Resource Management Software for Retail Industry

Startup idea to develop a software tool for retail industry IT project management, intended to streamline allocation and tracking of resources. Visualize current and projected workloads, with features for viewing, editing, reporting and identifying skillsets and availability.

I work in the retail industry within IT Project Management for an organization that is worldwide and 200,000 strong.

It is time consuming and complex to manage resources, which includes finding resources with the right skill set, finding their availability and ultimately staffing them to a project.

A nice solution would be a software tool that easily organizes resources and shows their current and forecasted workloads all in one view. Both the project manager, resource manager and upper management would be able to view, edit and report off of this data.
