It provides clear top-level information about when a person is covered until, and interfaces with Harvest for project tracking and finances. It highlights visibility of leave, expected project burn, and helps track who is working on which project and when. I find it useful that it allows us to foresee expected burn and invoicing month on month, and it makes it easy to see when projects are expected to finish so that people can be lined up for other projects. > > **Cons**: Forecast only links to one Harvest instance, which doesn't work for organizations that have grown to include multiple business units each with their own Harvest instance. It would be great if it could handle multiple 'organizations' under one tool. Additionally, I wish it could automatically load public holidays, track leave from Harvest or another system, and show this in the Forecast calendar. Also, tracking future engagements or opportunities and future starter people could be improved, as well as resourcing based on a +30-day view instead of manually filling in days between dates. > > I use Forecast to track the resourcing of our employees and subcontractors across projects. It provides visibility of leave, expected burn on projects, and employee assignments. Forecast highlights who is already resourced, who has capacity, and allows us to foresee expected burn and invoicing monthly. It also shows project end dates and drop-off dates for each person so they can be lined up with other projects. Forecast is straightforward to set up and use and interfaces with Harvest for project tracking and finances. Resourcing in Forecast appears against the linked project in Harvest as a projected burn of the project's budget. However, it can only link one instance of Forecast to one instance of Harvest. ----- ### "Availability at a Glance" — 5.0/5 > **Brenda** | *7 March 2025* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The visual appearance showing availability of team members was concise and easy to navigate. The ability to see the most important information on one screen \& then to filter or drill-down from there makes it a great tool. > > **Cons**: Getting users to actually use it correctly is challenging in almost any company. > > Easy to train people - harder to always get them to cooperate - but the tool works great when utilized correctly. ----- ### "Powerful AI Driven Capacity Planning for Engineering Teams" — 5.0/5 > **Shilpa** | *6 July 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Making it so easy to do both ERP and prevent burnout by adding placeholders to dynamic machine learning pipelines and keeping an eye on how much capacity each cross-functional team has on the roadmap using a capacity heatmap. > > **Cons**: The platform is reliant on perfect time logging across many users to get the benefit of predictive automation. Native developer integrations like Jira can demand substantial manual effort to keep the data clean for large engineering teams. > > This is a huge leap up from juggling huge armies of data points on dumb spreadsheets, it does give us the exact "what-if" planning you need to balance your ever changing enterprise product needs vs the realities of actual engineering capability. ----- ### "Forecast and make your life easier" — 5.0/5 > **Coey** | *17 October 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Customer service above the bar. Top notch help when it comes to the support they provide for the business. > > **Cons**: I have no complaints with this program. The ai features are so helpful of make thing clean and sharpe > > Forecast with all the features it provides such as automation using AI, project and time management, such a helpful tool. ----- ### "Forecast Makes Project Planning, Scheduling, and Team Management Easier and More Efficient Every Day" — 5.0/5 > **Madeline-Michelle** | *6 October 2026* | Commercial Real Estate Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Forecast makes project planning easy with clear schedules, useful insights and simple team tracking. > > **Cons**: Forecast can feel complex at first, and some features take extra time to learn and use confidently.. > > My overall experience with Forecast was positive, efficient, and helpful for managing projects well. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/166339/forecast?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/166339/forecast) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
